Seen a lot of “my company is so amazing posts” continuously on LinkedIn a la “here at XYZ we give people lots of time off and it’s amazing” or even “so happy XYZ company allowed me to take maternity/paternity leave” - are folks just trying to look like team players or do employees get some sort of incentive for doing this at companies? I feel like the folks I see that work at Salesforce (for example) do this constantly and more so than other big companies.

Has anyone ever stayed at Hotel Elysia in Paris? Also does anyone have any recommendations for beautiful hotels in Paris?

Likely getting an offer soon - already have planned vacation starting Tuesday until the new year. Do I give notice before I get the written offer/background check so I can leave before holidays but risk offboarding during vacation or give notice my first day back?

Lost sense of maximizing points/mileage value for int’l flights. Why is Detla redeeming so much more for some routes than Chase UR and even other partner airlines? E.g. non-stop economy btw Detroit-Seoul // Delta redeeming 160k on its own route while Chase UR 123k & Korean Air 80k for same route (code share)... I get it all depends on timing but still weird directly using Delta Skymiles on its own Delta route is more expensive than going through other methods....

Man, "What? I'm in a meeting?"

Man, "I can't right now I'm in a meeting, can you close it"
Woman, "Please, make sure it's shut, how many times do I have to tell you. My breast milk is in there, I'm already taking care of one child I don't need another. I'm not your mother!"
Planner,"Hey man, we wanted to tell you but I guess you couldn't hear us. Your camera was off but you weren't on mute.'

Currently interviewing for Sr. Strategy & Planning Manager at Cisco. With ~8 YOE what sort of compensation can I expect with the role being remote?
