Can we use the EY Travel portal to book personal hotels?

It is against policy. Also, we are subject to location audits where your travel per the portal is compared to your location where you charged hours so you could have a lot of explaining as to why you used it inappropriately

Completely agree with EY2. Not worth jeopardizing your job or stressing an expense or travel audit for a few bucks of discount. I would check the perks at work site, some discounted rates there..

Usually you need a charge code so I’d assume not. But I’ve never actually tried or asked. Look it up in the rules.

They have a program through Amex that’s separate from the travel portal that’s supposed to have decent deals. Or EY perks as well. Also have corporate codes for hotels and car rentals

I worked at EY for 5 years before I left. I used it to book personal hotels ALL the time

No

Apparently you aren’t supposed to, which was major news to me when I first heard that a few months ago. I think it is the most minor infraction imaginable though...kinda like stealing a pen.

I can't wait for things to get back to normal. For my kids to go to school. To see my family again. To travel overseas and explore. To not worry if I accidentally bump into someone. I feel like my kids are missing out on the magic of school (they were in kg and 1st grade when the initial shutdown started). I didn't get to see my nephew and niece since they were born, haven't seen my sister in 5 years (our family reunion got cancelled this summer). That is all. Hoping for a better year.

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.

We are seeing more pushback from employees on working 40 hours. We offer flexibility (wfh), 11 holidays and another 3 wks PTO. Seems like a good gig, I think, at 40-45 hrs. Anyone seeing this too?

I recently got diagnosed with ADHD. I'm 31 and found this only because b school and post mba consulting job was/is much more challenging than anything I did before.
