I often use corporate rates for personal travel and in a sample size of 20 hotels across Hyatt and Marriott, I’ve only been asked for my work badge once at a Courtyard (or possibly Fairfield). I’m leaving my firm soon, but tempted to continue to use the corporate rate after I leave since they so infrequently check. Has anyone had any experience with this?

I've never had anyone ask for proof of my company anywhere at Marriott properties. But you never know. And if it does happen, as a consultant, I'm confident in your ability to improvise on the spot and BS your way through it.

Rates aren’t usually negotiated with Marriott but with the individual franchisee or hotel with a few exceptions, like General Dynamics. Corporate wouldn’t enforce the policy, it would be up to the individual franchisee.

Granted, in my 1,200 nights with Marriott I’ve only been asked once.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
