British airways/ Iberia just lost my luggage. This is after downgrading me from business because of overbooking (ok, not the end of the world), making us wait for 2 hours for luggage (getting pretty pissed of at this point) and then telling me that mine wasn’t scanned and it’s not coming.When I asked where it was, their answers were ‘can’t see it on the system, we’ll call you tomorrow if we have any news’. I am boiling with rage. How fucking incompetent is the aviation industry at the moment?

IMAGINE any other industry where if a customer asked where a product they paid for was, the response is ‘don’t really know.. can’t see it… maybe we’ll have it tomorrow/ maybe not’

It’s crazy right now. I’m heading to Italy next week and putting AirTags in my luggage

Update, my luggage is “lost” I know where it is because of the AirTags but delta doesn’t 😦

Years ago I was flying back home from Europe - in first class (on miles) with a stop over at JFK where we cleared customs. When we got home contents of our luggage had been stolen. Somehow we noticed this before we left the airport. We went to the airline luggage office to file a claim and they told us they had no liability but offered us $50 for our trouble. I refused to take the $50 and wrote a letter to the company. They responded that they had no liability. Then I wrote a letter to the congressional representatives on the transportation committee about how this is a security risk and airlines don’t care because they have no liability so they just let their employees steal from customers. I sent copies of my letter to each of the airline’s board members. Two days later I got a call from a VP at the airline asking me how much money they could send me to fix this.

Take hand luggage- pray they don’t put it in the Hold!

Your first mistake was flying those airlines. Your second mistake was checking a bag. Your third mistake was boarding the plane when they downgraded you.

Help! I recently purchased a wanna get away ticket through Southwest for a business trip that was about $850. I was asked to cancel the trip due to other work issues in my local area.

Ideas to help me avoid writing a big check to my company??

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?

The lower end of that range is what I am currently making. The higher end of that range is almost 200k more than my current comp. The role is almost identical. I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?
