Hoping to purchase a nice luggage set for myself this Black Friday/cyber Monday. Can anyone recommend the best brand? I’m thinking about Away, but not sure if there are other options I should consider around that price point. My husband and I do a lot of weekend travel, but not many extended vacations, if that matters. Thanks!

I know you are already considering AWAY - but I got their carry on with the built in charger and I love it.

I really like Monos for their hard shell carryon with laptop pocket.

calpak!

Briggs & Riley. Only brand with a true, no questions asked lifetime warranty.

My husband bought us Away suitcases. They are tough and easy to pack. Size is great for a long weekend or maybe 4 days of gear. They roll easily. I’d buy again

Looking for a nice looking, sturdy, comfortable to carry travel duffel with a cross body strap. I always travel with my Louis Vuitton Keepall 55 bandoulière as a carry on, with mainly my shoes and handbags in it - but i took her in to LV for a repair and due to supply issues she will sadly not be back in time for my trip to Italy in September. (The repair may take 10 months, WTF!) I would appreciate any recommendations, and would love for it to be similar in size to the Keepall 55.

I get the perspective of team unity, but is it wrong to feel there is no reason to risk my health? The company justifies increasing my covid risk (high-risk already) to “show face”, when my job is being fulfilled while WFH. Am I crazy?

Do one tend to withhold annual raises in base salary over the other, or is this just a deloitte culture thing? Looking at exit opportunities all over. So lmk! I’d Rather get a small raise than none at all.

I quit. I was respectful. Thankfully, every person I have told has been so nice, and I wasn't immediately bounced out by my leadership (which has happened), but I have been surprised by my own bittersweet tears. If they actually cared, why didn't they say so sooner? I gave so much, and I was consumed by this organization. I invested in them, but my investment and dedication were not reciprocated, which is why I ever even entertained leaving. I don't know why it hurts, but it really, really does.

This is my third firm in three years (first I left as I was severely underpaid, second I left for a 100k increase in salary), but this lack of respect for my boundaries has made me want to move again once I’ve completed 18 mos. Bad? They don’t do this to the other associates (all male).
