Don’t lose hope until you all FC class seats have butts in them. You have a great chance OP! I was number 4 this morning for a supposedly full FC and I got it. Too bad mine is only 30 min flight.

I got bumped after the door closed last week

Three hours to go and still 2 people have yet to check in. Now the question is do I buy lunch or risk starving if I don’t get the bump?

Wanted to know how different is management consulting in the US via-a-vis India?

Background : working as front end consultant in India. Daily routine is opening laptop at 9AM and doing work till 10ish PM, if the project is tight (which it is in majority cases) closing laptop by 1 or 2 am. Travel depends on project. Sr Managers have no sense of personal space in most companies. Money is goood.

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.
