How come housekeeping at hotels is better when I forgot to leave tips in the room than when I left ~$20? This happened to me at multiple hotels worldwide 🤯

Ecological fallacy. They’re not all the same house keeper

Tipping housekeepers is sort of dying with young people, I was at a hotel once and they said maybe 3-5 rooms per day leave anything. my guess is they clean the same regardless, and the service level is more the hotel than the actual person. Internationally may be rude to tip certain places, could be seen as offensive

Because they already got their tip. The ones who didn't are still trying to impress you.

Their behavior has nothing to do with the tip. Your expectations have everything to do with the tip, and your memory

i leave $5 a day than a tip at just at end…means it actually goes to the person who cleans than the person who got my departure day cleaning shift. i can’t say if there is a noticeable difference if un tipped but hope at least the person cleaning is in a better frame of mind

I’m going crazy in Audit, I’m an A2. I think I’m going to try and transition to consulting. Would it be smarter to stay within the firm or go to a new one, and is there a half-step I should take (such as going to TAS for a year or so) before going into consulting? I just want more exposure to companies I work on than just the audit, it doesn’t feel like stuff I’ll be using in 5 years (but I’d be happy to be proven wrong on that). Business strategy/biz dev is catching my interest recently.
