Flying into ORD tomorrow night. Weather looks good, but it’s still ORD. Should I be worried about delays?

ORD was a lot better today

You’ll be fine lol

ORD never stops when it snows... I flew out of ORD on Monday morning on a 6:30 am flight and flight was full too

D1: I had 3 separate flights cancelled Sunday-Monday. Finally got out Tuesday morning. ORD was a shit show cancelling flights left and right for the last storm. You were one of the lucky few.

That said, it’s probably fine now.

Bad news. I really don’t want to be in Chi this week.

@D1 - did you notice what happened after those few 6 am flights took off?

Flew for the 3rd time since last March. I LOVE how all these consultants (and yes you can tell they are consultants) board the plane early with status. Who really wants to be on the plane longer than they need to be during Covid? I will board last thank you very much. Status be damned.

Does anyone become more jaded towards their company / being in consulting by being on this app / seeing what is posted in their company bowl? I feel like this is the place to talk about things we typically wouldn’t talk about in the larger workplace setting (which is great, don’t get me wrong), but can’t help but feel that this app definitely helps me see the ugly side (more so than the nice side) of consulting.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
