Anyone have experience with Delta and delayed/missing luggage? Will they actually reimburse me for clothes I've needed to buy (~$300 for 2 days), or will they put up a fight?

Yes - happened to me, they paid ~100 for clothes during the 24 hours it took to return the bag. Nothing to do with status.

File a complaint with the DOT. At least With United you get much better results.

Making a lot of money relative to the average but feeling poor? Median after-tax income was ~$55,000 in 1981 and was ~$73,000 in 2020. Using a Bank of Canada inflation calculator $55,000 in 1981 is equivalent to ~$165,000 today, which would put someone in the top 10% of earners today. But in 1981 the median family had that extra money. Who can I blame?

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
