Why? Labor Day is one of the busiest travel days

What route? Sounds like it’s a GS / 1K heavy route (and that others have purchased more expensive fare classes as well).

If you expected to be upgraded, you should have bought the ticket. Don’t complain when you don’t get free things lol

First world problems ?

Looking for referrals for a Technical Sales Executive position that is Remote (USA), possibly in the industrial sector.

Question for folks with second homes: Considering buying a vacation home but would be primarily for family use. We currently have a primary residence with a mortgage balance of ~640K, so my understanding is I could only deduct the mortgage interest on 110K of the second mortgage to stay under the 750K cap. If I were to buy the second home through an LLC, would that allow me to exceed that 750K since the expenses of the second home would be pass through expenses/income?

Hi All,
How's the job security at Accenture as such? I know that last year, they sacked people ruthlessly and now are facing a resource crunch. Also that they mandatorily place poor performers in PIP.
