Anyone have any good recommendations for a Marriott/Westin resort? I have a lot of points and 10 days and have no idea where to go. Down to go literally anywhere but want a resort.

Marriott majorly devalued their points recently switching to dynamic pricing. My favorite redemption has always the Mauna Kea on the big island. Even with the dynamic pricing you can still get .02 per point. Before dynamic I was getting .06-.08 per point on winter stays! If you like the desert — the ritz carlton in rancho mirage is nice, and also the camelback inn in scottsdale, which is one of my favorite places.

Anyone deal with this before: I inherited a severely under developed team including a sr analyst who clearly was doing the bare minimum, if that. Over the last 6 months I have had to coach him and correct simple mistakes in his work and recently it got so bad that I told him he would receive a low rating in his evaluation. He lashed out, involved HR saying he doesn’t understand why, and now my review points out stuff that I would have let slide.
