Have now met the most annoying passenger. In first class, shows as door is closing, yelling into skype with his daughter. Sits next to me. Goes 'I'm sitting there'. Sits down inside puff. Continues...

Plot twist - he's a BCG partner

Can confirm: EY MD. Looking at his email signature. Is that partner level? Typing with seat table down, one leg tucked up against chin. Have never seen this

I'm mildly horrified that I'm amazed by the innovation to take off shoes and stick feet into seat back pocket. Also, he's at least as 40. Amazing

To yell into phone. Hangs up 3 minutes later, goes, I need to use the bathroom. Walks toward back of plane. I point to the front (in on a conference call the whole time). He goes and comes back. Takes off his shoes. Sticks his feet into the seat back pockets. Forcefully opens the window shade. Is not sulking cause he doesn't have a power cord. I'm laughing cause I'm charging from my power block and I will refuse to provide him any power

The most horrid part of this story is the feet in the seat pocket. This is why I don't touch things on planes. 🤢

Generally curious how many companies offer phone reimbursement? My last gig did not but the current one does. Legally it seems, all employers are required to do so if we use our phone in literally any capacity (video call, slack, teams, emails etc). How prevalent is the issue of not reimbursing phone dues?

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
