Curious how others approach travel etiquette: when returning from a work trip with colleagues, do you wait for everyone to deplane before making your way to the exit together or do you just leave?

I think it's good vibes to wait for the rest of your team, especially after a return from production/pitch/meeting etc. makes it feel like we all did it together and builds bond

likehelpful

Love you all but we just spent ever day and night together for the past two weeks so a quick goodbye in the terminal usually covers it. No need to walk off the plane together

I wait for everyone. I’m more senior and because of the frequency of my travel, I tend to get upgraded bc of miles/airline status so I’m usually one of the first few off the plane

Depends on the team, how the meetings went, what time we’re getting in on, and what plan we agreed to before getting on the plane.

We’re all adults with lives, and personally I do not expect anybody on my team to wait unless we’re continuing to the office or need to talk explicitly about something and couldn’t on the plane.

I usually wait for everyone to get off the plane and then we hold hands, forming a circle and chanting “GOOOO TEEAAAM!!!!” as we all touch palms in the center and move them up skywards. Then we do high kicks and jumps shaking our pom-poms. Then we high-five and take selfies together before we all go on our way.

Honestly down for that

Wait. Say a proper goodbye unless your ride is waiting for you, then send a text.

Depends. I wait unless we’ve discussed it previously that we won’t. (Ie: if seats are extremely far apart, or someone has only carry on and another has checked, or someone in rush or connecting flight etc). We usually chat about it before boarding.

Leave. Every man/woman for him/herself! Though I let everyone know that’s what I’ll be doing.

At my agency we don’t usually wait, but we always say something before we get on the plane like, “I love you guys but I’m not waiting."

As an account person, I say always wait. But creative may have a different take on it.

I set expectations up front that when we arrive at our home destination, since everyone has a different way to get home...it’s every (wo)man for themselves. That and I usually sit at the back of the plane and don’t want folks to have to wait the extra time just to say “see ya” to me. This seems to go well.

Unless you agree to split a cab with a neighbor, it’s fine just to send a group text saying “thanks, catch up in the office”...and then run as fast as possible.

Of course you should wait. Crazy question

90% of time I wait. If I’m not going to, make that clear first.

Hey all! Need a couple book recs for an upcoming beach trip.

Looking for a great non-fiction, relating to travel or world history (not just one moment in time). Could also be about the marketing world or memoirs of a business leader kinda thing.

Fiction wise I also like fantasy, paranormal, and romance. Some fave book series are the Black Gryphon from Mercedes Lackey, Game of Thrones, and From Jamaica Lane series. Similar books?

QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...

I’ve done some soul searching of late and established I’d love to be offered a FTE role in my current company. I think this is partly due to never having had a full time job which I’ve enjoyed and which have valued my contributions. I think this is due to wanting to feel accepted. I know acceptance needs to start with me etc but I think redundancy and workplace gaslighting has meant I’ve never achieved growth and status in one company where I can truly grow. Anyone else has this?
