Give it to my SO

She didn’t want it and told me to just take it as she plans to sleep the entire flight and ignore me anyways... I’m just feeling guilt so taking a poll.

Naaah M1, I say pass up the upgrade and sit with your SO, let someone else have it. I’m not even sure you can give it to your SO if they’re not the one that was upgraded.

If it’s a long flight I take it as I’m a foot taller than my wife and she insists. I won’t though if that means she gets stuck in a middle seat. I’ll sit with her. If it’s medium or short I decline.

I offer them the better seat. They've always declined though so we can hang out together during the flight :)

I always give it to my SO, he is 6’3 so he is always very happy !

I wish everyone was as selfless as M1 👏👏

I’m having my performance review tomorrow. Looked at my goals last year which was set before the pandemic really hit. Since it really affected business and travel I didn’t hit most of my goals. Plus I was really depressed (who wasn’t really) so I didn’t take much initiative. What’s a good way to navigate this...?
