I am having an anxiety attack at the prospect of traveling on Monday for a new engagement. I don’t know how to get out of it

Is Marriott extending Ambassador status into 2022?

Flying after ages and have a few questions.
Context: I have an 8am flight to LA this Thursday.

1. I do need PCR test 24h before leaving, correct?

2. How's the morning rush at Pearson? Will have to go through US border screening in Toronto so I wonder how early folks would recommend showing up?

Has anyone travelled recently? Thanks in advance!

I am sure it's been asked before a few times but I didn't see straight forward answers after searching.

Trip to Kauai - Me and SO, we are fit, hikers, and will travel all over the island for hiking and snorkeling at remote locations.

Who’s sitting in an airport right now?

Spending some time in Europe this Fall. Already going to Amsterdam and Paris, but we have time for one more city. Should we go to Brussels or somewhere in western Germany?

Hello 🐟🐠

At which hotels do you stay when traveling ? what’s your travel allowance as a SA?

Does uber have crossover rewards with any airline/hotel anymore? I know the Delta one stopped.

Does anyone have a rec for a tour operator in Red Center (outback), Australia? Happy to do some camping, hiking, but will be going with my older parents so don’t want to be in a group filled with people partying.

Analytics consultant at a small firm. Interested in Big 4 or MBB but don't want to travel 80 - 100% (would be happy with 25 - 40%). Any hope for me to find something?

I still have a 35k Marriott free night set to expire 6/30 if anyone wants it. I have titanium status so it should also come with free breakfast and a pretty good upgrade chance (especially if it’s only a one night stay). Let me know if anyone wants to buy at a discount, would much rather see someone use it then it go to waste.

Anyone in BK wants to casual rides today?

Anyone at Ritz Battery Park?

New to Chicago. Found a room in a 3bed/1 bath near the Addison brown line stop for $650/mo. Not modern, but a nice place & walkable Southport. 45 min commute to work. Is it worth the trade off?

For a 5am flight, when should I reach the airport to check a bag?

I have to fly cross country in a few weeks. First time flying for this job (been here a year). I’m allowed to fly business if I want (im the GC). Company isn’t killing it financially right now. Price difference is about $2,500 and I’ve done coach plenty of times on this route at my old job (law firm). Would anyone say no to business class?

Have a 7:10 am flight with United, boarding starts 6:20 (no pre check). Taking Uber from old town, so thinking of leaving at 5/5:15 am to be there by 5:30/5:40 for security. Should I leave around 5:20 if no long lines for regular security check?

Has anyone had any success giving a delta voucher to a family member? Can it be done? How did you do it?

Anyone ever complained to Delta for miles and received MQMs as well? I had a maintenance delay screw up my day this week and hoping to get both

Best hiking spots in the US? Especially for a long weekend?

Just realized Platinum status with Delta gives you President’s Circle at Hertz. I’ve been driving a Kia for the past two weeks 🤦🏻‍♂️

I (33M) got booted from Bumble for "promoting social media". I do not even have social media and I can't stand seeing Instagram or TikTok in a girl's bio - it's an instant turn off - so why would I do it?

Anyone have experience fighting a ban? Bumble was really the only app I liked.

What is the best way to approach a boss to resign? Great boss but not my field of law and got an offer with another great firm, for more money, and in my specific field.

Inflation costs are killing my pipeline. Many of my deals are scaling back greatly because of their rising operating costs.

How do we overcome the inflation objection? I mean obviously the answer is to show how much value we offer, but how do we do that when all of the companies we work with barely have enough funding?

They need our services, which is at least some job security, but their scale back is greatly affecting our projections and quota attainment.

Have any of you had to go through multiple different therapists and found one that you enjoy meeting with consistently? Hating myself rn but don’t want to talk to the one therapist i have met with 3x and not sure if the search is even that worth it ultimately. For those that couldn’t find a good match for a therapist - are there other methods of therapy you’ve tried or would recommend?

What hours so you work in Transaction Services?

Tips on how to let a law firm know you have another offer? I have the final interview tomorrow at the firm and a partner indicated I’d get an offer but I just received another offer from a different company. I want to let this firm know I have an offer but that they remain my first choice…aka speed up the process so I can let the other company know!

Partners, what's something you know now that you wish you knew when you were a Sr. Manager?

I met a couple girls through a friend and they’re both really smart and fun to be with. I’ve been thinking about getting back in the dating scene but don’t know which one to ask out. They’re both friends so I can’t really try the other if one doesn’t work out. Thoughts?

Which top 10 US schools do you recommend for someone who wants a global career? Any programs similar to Wharton / Lauder?

Anyone know of job opportunities for a UK qualified solicitor (corporate law) in Germany? Doesn't necessarily have to be legal counsel, open to other roles, preferably not a big corporate firm (mental health reasons).

S.O. and I are moving to Germany, both are allowed to work there due to EU nationality so visa is not an issue. Unfortunately not great German language skills (fully aware this poses a problem).

Would really appreciate any help on this, TIA.

Hi, moving to Hyderabad first week of may, looking for someone to share a pg room in gachibowli (near mindspace rd), Hit me up.

Moved to Houston a year ago for work and to be closer to my SO. Now I’m lonely and depressed because I can’t find friends I’m in tune with but no one listens to you till you’re dead so writing this as evidence that I said something. So that no one will come and say “why didn’t she speak up”. I did and no one cared.

Exam tomorrow - super nauseous which makes me even more anxious 🥲 anyone get this and how do you cope?

I’m going through a massive depressive episode and floundering. Can barely get out of bed, crying constantly. Talking to a therapist, but nothing is helping. Currently at a startup without ability to take LOA. Want to resign, but don’t want to kill my career. Not sure what to do. I just want to give up. Any advice would be helpful.

My level of anxiety is so high right now, with so many things going on in my professional and personal life, and I’m dealing with it in the worst way, eating (junk) like a maniac (cont)

Any one have a hard time dealing with conflict? And shut down or feel like your spiraling? I’m finding myself in this situation and I try working out, eating healthyish, sleeping early, reading, shopping, but nothing feels stable.

When anxious, time seems to speed up which makes one perceive time constraints when tackling tasks.

When not anxious, an hour feels like eternity and sufficient time to knock out tasks.

What are your techniques to slow down time?

Mine is to meditate, pop a klonopin, and write in a journal. This 30 minute routine quiets the mind and removes distractions.

My firm is virtual - all work done remotely in home office unless on client site. Haven’t traveled since mid October. It’s driving me nuts. What do you recommend doing?

I have been recommended Cipralex 10 mg daily by my therapist. Has anyone tried it? Just wanted to know if it helps. Extremely hesitant about getting on meds

I'm "funemployed" right now as I wrapped up my last job on Friday and my new job starts August 1st. This is the first time since college that my fight or flight hasn't had a strangle hold on me

Currently in therapy every week at lunch because that’s all my therapist had available. It’s been fine when we’re work from home, but what would you say you have every week while in the office?

Ever feel the loneliest when you’re in a room full of people/hanging with a group?

What do you think it is your biggest strength? Both personality wise and skill wise

I feel so depressed about working a corporate job, anyone have any cool alternatives, I’m 26 and have enough saved up to take a risk and not work a traditional job for a year, open to any suggestions

Does anyone else here feel drained? I don't if it's because of the continued lockdown here and wfh but I feel like I'm struggling which is impacting work

Just got broken up with someone who I gave my all too- emotionally, mentally, etc. Partly feel its my fault. Intellectually speaking I lnow thi feeling of loss is temporary. But im 34, living in my parents basement, with chronic depression and now lost my best friend. I dont want to sleep knowing that tomorrow is another day of misery. This all happened coincidentally whilst going down 5 mg on trintillex. “Everything happens for a reason. God has a better plan.” i hope i dont need a PTO day tom
