I’m one night away from hitting Platinum Elite. The cheapest room within an hours drive (near LAX) is $150+, even with corporate discount.

Any way to get a better rate or do I just need to bite the bullet and pay?

How much did you spend on your wedding? Do you regret it? Also please share the location of your wedding if possible. Thank you!

Help- my FBIL is refusing to rent a tux for our wedding because he already owns one. It is a different tuxedo. We would like everyone in the same tux, which I don’t think is crazy to ask for? It’s not a financial issue and it’s not some sort of weird style. 11 other men will be in the rental, it will be obviously different. We’re paying a lot for formal pictures and while this isn’t a tragedy by any means, it is upsetting to my fiancé and I, especially as we ALWAYS go with everyone else’s flow.

I’m new here. Can I get some likes so I can DM? Also want to ask, anyone have advice for transitioning from a sales role to a customer experience role?

Im currently going through industry change.
Im a pastry cook with 4yrs experience and the average salary start for this position is now at $22/hr here in vegas, especially in the strip. But cooking/baking is not my passion. So im changing into veterinary medicine and im seeing that the starting rate for a vet tech is around $16-18. Why is that?? Why are people in the vet med industry being paid so low?? Something needs to change. Labor of love aint enough for the people in this job.

Starting to lose hope that I will never find an agency where I'm not spread so thin.

I think we should create a compensation thread in this bowl. It would help a lot of people who are planning to switch companies/jobs or who are moving to this region. Just a thought, since it’s one of the most common questions asked here.
