Amex Global Business Travel booked me a "reservation", not a ticket, the airline didn't let me check in via mobile or a kiosk, and when I got to the desk agent, the flight was oversold

If you have a confirmed reservation, they should let you ticket it even if it is oversold. Your reservation draws from inventory. Your ticket just means it's paid for.

Interesting. Well I arrived at the desk at about 40 minutes prior to my take off time and since I had not checked in (due to phone and kiosk not allowing it) and did not have a ticket, the desk agent refused to print my ticket, and explained I only had a reservation. Perhaps they sold my seat to someone else when the 45 minute check-in requirement was not met? I'm not sure what happened but am very curious.

Yeah. You usually can't check in without a ticket so that explains that. As for why they wouldn't let you pay and ticket the reservation at the counter, if the check in deadline is T-45mins that's probably when your reservation was cancelled and your seat returned to inventory. These corporate travel agents are often more trouble than they're worth.

I feel bullied and very anxious. I am afraid she can jeopardize my visa with a bad evaluation. I have been working at midnight, on Sunday mornings but I am human, I make mistakes, she just blames me instead of teaching.

why do i struggle when my s/o isn’t texting me? ik they’re not cheating on me, ik they still love me, all that jazz.

but for some reason i’m not at peace when they take some time to themselves.

any tips or advice?
