Ok 🐠-es: favourite airport lounge? I’m quite partial to my weekly wine and hoummous at the Qantas Domestic Business lounge at Melbourne airport, however Canberra has a prettier layout. And, go!

I enjoyed the Air Canada lounges in Toronto and Montreal.

Also, the multi-level United lounge in Nariya, particularly if you have access to the GS top floor

Cathay first in hkg. The pier is 👌🏻

I'll second the pier first. Went through HKG 4x per month for awhile and it felt like home (although the bridge shower rooms are nice).

Also partial to Qantas First in Lax (squid ink apps), and JAL First in HND (shoe shines, massages, hibiki 17 and teppanyaki).

For domestic can't beat the centurions (DFW holds a special place for me) and for normal crappy AA lounges STL and Denver have awesome AAngels.

For Star Alliance- Frankfurt, Bangkok.

I'd love to compare to Emirates first though in Dubai.

the Pier in HKG is a First Class lounge, it should be great. Of the few F lounges who allow non F pax, this one is likely the nicest. I also like the BA F lounge in T3 @LHR.

For biz class lounges, it's difficult for ant airport to beat the QR J lounge in DOH and the TK J lounge in IST. They are in my view 2-3 levels better than any other lounge out there...

I loved the SwissAir Lounge in Zurich

Saying someone was let go because they didn’t fit into the company’s culture is a big red flag. It means your culture is not very accepting and that is a dangerous thing.

Inspired by one of my kids' favorite books, I penned this masterpiece of an Ode to Consulting:

One senior partner all alone
Calls two managing directors on the phone
Three associate partners at the door
Bring along another four
Five senior managers come overdressed
Six managers show up with a guest
Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
Eight associates sneak in the back
Nine analysts come to work
ALL THE CONSULTANTS GO BERSERK!!!

Ok, I'll show myself out now... 😂

Hey DFW, TX folks. We're going through comp and merit raises, I suspect you all are too. This is the first year we're using pay ranges from payscale. I am completely surprised of how low compensation is in TX. For any of you that have visibility to pay ranges what is your experience with pay ranges for your company?
