Is it true that you can ask for an early upgrade with most airlines if you share that you will be on business travel often? For example, I have a Delta Skymiles Amex and want to get Sky Priority.

Huh? Are you wanting status with an airline?

No, you need to earn it.

Some Airlines have deals to give early status or based on a challenge. Check deloittenet. There are some things in the travel section for Delta

like

Our intranet often has a link to a start challenge for accelerated status if you’re new to the scene.

like

Yep, look on DNET for the Delta status challenge

like

Yep you’d have to do a challenge. Delta probably only offers it through your company & not to the public usually. Also sky priority is just a boarding group. Delta status levels are referred to as Medallion levels - silver, gold, plat, diamond

New to this scene. All I know is I was advised to communicate with airlines and ask for early status upgrades.

So much to learn.

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.

Transactional associate. Lateraled 6 months ago and one of the biggest pain points has been my new firm’s inclination to “hop on a call”, which of course requires every single stakeholder to join. The end result being every call has 25 people on it and nothing actually gets done because no one wants to ask a question that could come off as silly. It’s destroying my ability to get anything done during the day. It’s a complete performance and it drives me nuts.
