Marriott Vacation club - What are your thoughts about buying resale? It seems discounted but a lot of fees by Marriott. Over all seems good. Please advise.

MIL has one. Only good part about it is you get access to getaway deals. We use her login and browse all the time. We’ve stayed at Palm Springs Marriott for $260 for the week. Grand Luxxe in Nuevo Vallarta for $350 for the week.

MVC properties are good, but be aware of the rising maintenance fees every year - that is where they get you. I’ve owned for over 15 years, but the properties were a lot cheaper when I bought in. Also, when you buy resale, confirm that they will transfer all of the privileges that the original owner received. MVC sometimes doesn’t let you participate in certain programs like Destinations / Points if you don’t buy directly from them.

Thanks everyone! Appreciate the response

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.

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?

I have a possible opportunity at Protiviti. Coming from big4 and wondering if Protiviti has fairly similar perks. I’ve read the 2022 benefits guide and it gave a oddly low PTO count of 16 days. Is this true and what about a holiday disconnect in the December time period? Are there any other hidden perks that are awesome? Already heard WLB is better and the culture, but I feel like I’ve gotta find that out first hand. Protiviti

Starting a new job next month, and considering taking two days off for kids’ spring break next month. Not sure whether it’s appropriate to request time off for a new job (I would’ve preferred not to take any time off for first three months). I may just be able to just ask for a single Friday off (so 1 day rather than 2 days).

Any thoughts on whether I should proceed with the request? I just came from big law and want to make sure I’m not making a bad impression on my colleagues.
