One of the nice things about Booz Allen (there are few) is that PTO hours count toward your billable target. I heard this is not the case for Deloitte. What other firms penalize vacation?

The target is adjusted downward based on the number of PTO or training hours taken

Accenture does not penalize from a chargeability perspective for taking PTO

Luggage delay claim question

I used Chase explorer to buy tickets for my vacation and luggages were delayed for a month. Per chase term I am entitled $100 a day for 3 days. But the claim agency chase used has been asking for airlines response, which has not came (2month+ now). I am concerned insurance will use this as an excuse to never compensate. Is there a good way to handle this situation?
TIA

For all you retail people...are you experiencing a very slow holiday season? I am a retail manager and I feel like this season has been freakishly slow.

Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?
