Their new system is completely idiotic. Most people would prefer an economy window/aisle over a delta comfort middle seat...but there's no way to declare this preference. Which consulting idea gave them this f'ed up idea?

Agent came through for me! Was sitting there and my phone updated to 12A. Walked passed good old 5B and saw two large people sitting in the aisle and window seats. Was very relieved as I kept going to row 12. But it gets better, boarding door is now shut and there's no one sitting in the middle seat next to me 🙌. Thank you whatever glorious karma this is, it's nap time 😴

You think?? Who wants a middle seat?!?!

Delta is a Deloitte client 😹

Only on shitty Delta is a middle seat a mothafuckin upgrade. Man I hope AA doesn't copy this idiocy when they introduce their domestic premium economy.

Board, sit in assigned seat, drink up, pass out not caring whether there's a window. You're welcome.

I have an offer for $130k for a senior attorney position in a boutique L&E firm. Also have a recruiter who thinks she can get me into another for $150-170k.

Any tips for countering the $130k offer for more using the other potential offer while not risking a complete withdrawal of the current offer? I’ve never been in a position to bargain my starting salary so this is all very new to me.

I haven’t heard much since then. Should I be worried? How much longer will I have to wait?
