Could any marriott employee share a friend and family form? I'll return the favor :)

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.

Hi all, I’d love to hear from PR/Comms folks about the process of transitioning from agency to an in-house role.

Do you typically need more experience before going in house? Would be great to hear about various experiences from those that have made the transition. Thanks!
