Need a new carry on... obviously Tumi/Briggs are on my list but considering a wildcard like Away. Having a hard time justifying 500-600 for a carry on. Thoughts?

Well Briggs has a lifetime warranty. But I have the Costco $100 one and it's great.

I’ve been happy with my Away. A little minimalist in design (obviously) but also features. It’s proven very durable - probably have 100+ flights on it and it still looks/feels new. Warranty is good too. At least last year, ACN had a discount.

Thoughts? Don't drop $500-$600, instead get a sub $100 Samsonite instead.

Been down that route, held up for 4 months. Not doing it again

Awesome, I’ll check it out. Thanks

@BCG1 yeah ACN gets 30% and i still struggle lol. @A1 didn’t know we had anything with Away. I’ll check discount directory

I have been getting three years put of my AT softshells, but it's always carry-on. Are you checking them or something? A name brand won't remedy baggage handlers.

OP, definitely agree that their new two piece handle is less sturdy! Don't know what to tell you there, I figure I'll just epoxy mine together.

Agree with travel pro. Has held up extremely well

Travelpro Magna Platinum all the way. The magnetic wheels are self aligning and worth their weight in gold on account of the significantly reduced stress on your wrists!

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.

One of my friend was asked to resign because she got pregnant . They specifically told her that they have strict policies and need complete commitment and you are not fit for the current role owing to your health. They have a king rule from management side and treat their employees as daily wage labor . Very bad HR and management
