Got to the American Airlines gate to board and was informed of a (much worse seat change — 7A to 22A. I am new to consulting and don’t have much status. What gives? Can I complain and request points?

You can complain, you won’t get anything though

If you booked 7A, but don't have the status to qualify you for that seat and didn't pay the higher price, the airline will change your seat to one you qualify for at the same rate.

They probably switched aircrafts, and since you probably did not pay for 7A, exactly what Capgemini1 said, they moved you

(1/2) I started a new job less than a month ago at a large firm with a significant pay increase. I work remotely- which is a special arrangement. They paid for my travel to their headquarters for in-person training. After interacting with my manager and some of the attorneys, I feel like I made a mistake. Manager is demeaning and rude. A bunch of the attorneys dropped not so subtle hints that people who work from home are causing all kinds of problems. I don’t know what to do.

Absolutely. Businesses can be ethical by treating people the way they’d want to be treated. 3 ways Airbnb can do this: Aggressively fight fraudulent listers, let Airbnb members control their data (allow data requests/permissioning/deletion from any state or country), and oh - make it easy for people to get their money back if their travel was affected by covid-19. How not to be ethical: marketing ethics vs living them.
