Jerusalem or Caribbean cruise (round trip out of PR) over the holiday shut down in December? Cost is not a factor, family is paying for it

White sand and beaches are the same everywhere. Jerusalem is truly unique.

Do Israel for sure

Depends if you want to relax or explore. Caribbean has the biggest cruise ships with the most to do

Israel!! Why only Jerusalem? Lots of other amazing places in Israel too...and if you’re really craving some beach, you can head down to Eilat on the Red Sea

Is PR Puerto Rico? Israel is a 12 hour flight from JFK, so to get to Jerusalem you’re looking at 20+ hours of traveling each way, probably way longer with layovers. I love Israel and Tel Aviv is only 30 mins from Jerusalem with great beaches as well, but 40 hours of flying for just a one week break may be a bit extreme.

@SA1 pretty sure there are directs to TLV on both El Al and Delta. Or at least, there were a year ago when I went. Not sure how you calculate 40 hrs flying when it’s a 12hr flight.

@SC1 12 hour flight from JFK + 4 hour flight from PR to JFK + some level of layover, do that there plus back puts you at 40 hours. Unless there are direct flights from PR, I doubt there are but maybe I’m wrong.

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?

We flew back from Ireland today on Delta. Our connecting flight from JFK at 6:10 was cancelled while we were flying over the Atlantic Ocean, and we were rebooked on a 3:40 instead (2.5 hours earlier) but not notified. I received no email, text or app notification of the flight cancellation or the new flight we were placed on, so we missed it. They now cannot get us home tonight and won’t even guarantee they can get us home tomorrow, impacting my work, (cont)…

Help! I recently purchased a wanna get away ticket through Southwest for a business trip that was about $850. I was asked to cancel the trip due to other work issues in my local area. As luck would have it, there's a strong possibility that I landed a great new job and they need me to start right away. The credit is under my personal rapid rewards account. Ideas to help me avoid writing a big check to my company??

How does one tell their boss (owner of the company) that you are burnt out? The sheer volume of work is exhausting and I haven’t taken a true vacation as we are a small company so if something urgent comes to my email I feel like I must respond.
