Had to send an Associate home once because he fell asleep on client site - needless to say we didn’t “fire” him until after he got back home

If you’re traveling for work on schedule, work should cover it as a work expense. It’s not like they cancel your return.

Yeah, you’re in that city on behalf of your organization, they better get you home, otherwise they may be at risk of a lawsuit. If something somehow bad happened to you in the process of trying to get home, that would end up costing them way more than your flight.

Help- The project I am on is about to kick off a huge multimillion dollar implementation but I know I am underpaid.

I want out, but I also think this implementation is an opportunity for learning and in 9ish months could offer better exit opps. Should I stick it out or is 2yo consultancy and a masters degree worth looking for a new job now?

On a track for promotion for Q1 but feeling burnt out and like I can’t manage the workload in order to make that happen. I brought this up to my manager and she said “well we probably won’t be able to get you the promo until Q2 then in order to get all the data points needed”. Her point is pretty accurate, but am I crazy to slow down for my mental health and sanity at the expense of delaying promo by 3 months?
