Staying at the Ritz and STR in the Maldives so expecting good service and reading mixed things about tipping. I usually don’t tip much at hotels (never really thought about it) but what do people do? Is there an expectation and would the amount be based on like room rate or just a flat daily per day?

Found a bed bug in a Radisson Red in Campinas Brazil, how many points?

Does it matter when you check in online for a hotel in terms of getting an upgrade? I'm a titanium elite Marriott bonvoy member looking for upgrades at Westin and Ritz in a couple of days. Any tips on getting an upgrade?

Thoughts on the Sheraton Kauai? I’m considering the offer they sent. Is Kauai a nice island?

It says on Bonvoy breakfast voucher that gratitude is included. Somehow they always expect additional cash tips?

Does anyone ever redeem Marriott points for gift cards? Is it worth it?

Recommendations for hotels in Portugal?? Preferably a Marriott branded hotel. Planning a 5 day trip to Portugal in April.

Do SPG suite nights expire? I chose the 10 suite nights as my reward for 50 stays last year, and am wondering if I should be in a bit more of a rush to use them

Hi, will be staying in London next week. Does anyone have an Accenture rate code for the Marriot / Hilton in London?

Any Florida hotels (Hyatt/Marriott) near the beach that people recommend? Looking to avoid Miami.

Planning on staying in Japan in November for a week! Any recommendations on where to stay / things to do? Also, got some SPG points (<100k) I want to use!

The new SPG app is not intuitive at all, very hard to navigate i find.

If I book a stay in a Marriott property through a third party website for a lower rate than what’s on the Marriott app, can I still get points and elite benefits on the reservation?

People at EY not use the corporate card? The expense system is horrible. But might not be worth using my Marriott card...

Houston downtown JW vs Westin.. Thoughts?

My GF and I are dating for 2.5 yrs , She met an office colleague (he has a GF) recently who she initiated a friendship with. I feel that they interact a lot and I'm a little worried of her getting too close to him. A day ago she asked him for lunch and they were out for almost 4-5 hrs. When I expressed how I felt she keeps saying there's nothing going on. I feel that when start to get emotionally close to some other guy than SO then it's not a good sign in relationship. Am I overthinking? contd.

I’m still trying to process seeing an agency exec well known for dismissing and ignoring POC held up as an exemplary diversity champion for women at the 3% Conference.

Hi guys!

Need 11 likes for DM access.
Thanks!

I've been avoiding breaking up with someone (I've been dating off and on for a year) for the past few weeks because I can't decide the best way to do it. We're not compatible long-term. He's not seeing anyone else and I've told him I'm seeing other people but he's starting to have relationship expectations for me since we reconnected a few months ago. Any tips for having the conversation? I'd prefer to do it via text but I know people say it's not appropriate and it should be over the phone.

Why do ppl share selfies on LinkedIn with a cheesy inspirational quote about their lives? No hate but I find it really cringey

Any superb restaurant recommendations in vail? My wife and I will be celebrating our 10 year anniversary and we just had our first child. Since most dinners these days entail standing over our kitchen island, want to go all out on the food. We already have Matsuhisa and Mt. Standard lined up, curious to hear about any others!

Lesson learnt:

Never tell your colleagues where you are joining beforehand.
Not all are good advisors, some will ruin your mind with their opinions.

Why can’t my exes leave me alone

On H1-B with approved I-140, currently looking out for State & Local Tax Senior/New Manager opportunity. Kindly share the leads, thank you.

Had such a great interview with an agency this morning. Then I look at their Glassdoor and it's horrible reviews- like the opposite of what the recruiter and group account director told me.

What do I do? I have a really good gut feeling about this but now scared from Glassdoor. UGH finding a job is so hard.

Remember The Woo? Yeah, me neither. Well, they cut everyone’s pay (except mgmt of course) by 1/4 to get the small biz gov loan, and used it to hire a $500k/yr mgmt head. Agency still working barebones

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
