Not your fault, so take a deep breath and chill. 😊

If you can just go out tomorrow, do that. It will be the easiest change for you. If you don't feel comfortable making that decision yourself, then contact your manager or senior manager, let them know the situation and ask what they would like for you to do.

1) try other airline carriers 2) if it's not critical you be there go tomorrow 3) if it is critical start looking into rental car and nearest airport with a flight out. Best of luck

It's weather related so more than likely, if one carrier canceled, you may not want to take one that is going... enjoy your snow day.

Reasonably good chance your client has advised employees to WFH today. Relax and reschedule. Contact your team lead/manager or director and advise her/him of the sitch. Put on a good Bob Marley song and work in your jammies until further advised.

I joined a new consulting firm and have been here for 6 months. Recently, a SaaS client (1k employees) that hired my old consulting firm reached out to me about a job opening - Lead BA working primarily to implement their benefit admin system for insurance companies. My current TC is 95k. Is it worth making the jump if the offer is north of 110k? Anything I should look out for? The client and coworkers were all nice, but I remember being stressed on the project due to limited resources.

Do you feel more refreshed with lots of smaller trips, or more with a few long trips? Kids are 1 & 3.

I have a Q that I worry is going to make me sound like a jerk, but want some opinions. I do strength training 2x/wk with a trainer who was assigned to me at a gym where I bought a pack of sessions. I don’t really consider myself “his” client bc the relationship is managed by the gym… but lately he keeps saying like “I can’t wait to see what my clients give me for Christmas” and I find it super awkward. I pay $150 per session for these workouts (cont’d in comments)…
