If you have Marriott Platinum status you get complimentary Silver and can sometimes get upgraded.

Was it upgraded to the first class luggage bin with a couple of the pets on board? .....Too soon??

Probably your fare class.

D1 but you have to sign up for it and boarding pass will say Silver

I think the threshold for upgrade may have been so low I got it simply because I had an account. There were still two open first class seats when we took off

Did you book Y?

You might have status on another airline and they are trying to tempt you.

Does United still have Y-up fares? Does American?

We were going to go on a hike and had a hotel booked for a night. Texted him 5 min before arrival and when i was there to pick him up. He hopped in the shower. I got annoyed that he did that because i communicated beforehand to be ready. He didnt like that and said that he thinks that i think my time is more important than his... he canceled the trip and we are not speaking because of this incident... Am i crazy or something?

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.

Something about me is both a curse and a blessing - I can't ignore what is not clear, logical, aligned, and simple.

This is what helped me excel at studies. At work, my obsession makes it hard for people around me. If people complain about me, should I just let it go or change my approach?
