Anyone have experience shipping a laptop from here to folks in India? For context, folks live in a large metro & I'm thinking of shipping a Lenovo laptop thru FedEx from the US. Checked customer service with Lenovo and they mentioned their products have international warranty. However, not sure if Lenovo India would honor it.
I was thinking of buying it directly from Lenovo India but they have fewer laptop options & higher price points. Please let me know if I'm missing anything. TIA!

Hi! I’m doing some research on employee benefits (medical insurance, 401k, HSA/FSA, commuter benefits) and was hoping to connect with People specialists or HR professionals in the comp & benefits space.

Hotel on the reserve card or the company card. 3x points vs t&e compliance?

This question might anger some, but not meant to be provoking. Does anyone else feel that half the jobs in tech (scrum master, project manager, product manager, etc.) are more hindering than helpful? I feel like productivity would sky rocket if we didn’t have 10+ hours a week added of admin work/agile ceremonies/status meetings, and you just let developers and analysts do their job. Why are we spending hours learning how to estimate story points (for example) rather than improving production?

CSR: 52,500 currently
Marriott: 72,000 - but I have 22 suite night upgrades

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....

So... there’s heavy rain outside and ceiling near window in my room is leaking. Feel like this is worth asking for points?

[UK specific] Hi all! My boyfriend is a year 3 doctor. He wants to do surgery but he is struggling to get all the points for his portfolio. He is a very clever hardworking individual that studied at the University of Cambridge. He needs ~6 months experience within a regional or national board of any association (anything!: medicine, startups, sports...), even if it is just joining meetings once a month. Could anyone lend him a hand please? This would be huge for us :) any ideas welcome!

What are some easy to make, low stress holiday meals for a school holiday staff party? I was "volunteered" by our principal to set it up this year (🙄). I'm making decorated sugar cookies but kind of drawing a blank when it comes to savory dishes. Bonus points if you have any adult holiday themed games or fun drinks to suggest! It's off school property and there will be a bar (thank god), for context.

Hello! I’m currently a Administrative assistant now working at a major medical system in Baltimore. I’ve previously worked for 10 years as a medical assistant in a variety of specialties and primary care. Lately, I’ve been feeling a bit stuck as to my next step.

Good Morning All!
I’ve been having some mental issues lately and have no idea if it’s due to my HRT.
If I take .75 of estradiol I still have hot flashes. If I take 1.0 I feel either numb or depressed constantly.

I’ve also consistently done intermittent fasting for two weeks, exercise 5x per week, and am eating better all to lose a whopping .5 lbs. SMH
