Planning on opening a Bonvoy boundless chase cc for the 75,000 points and have heard the first year is free. Is that right? If it is, do I still get the 75k? Are the 75k Chase points or Bonvoy points?

Does anyone have a preferred car service company? I am looking for a service that can consistently provide traveler alerts such as when car has arrived, passenger is on board, trip competed, etc. across US cities. I have found a company that will do this when I book travel in NYC, but when my Professionals arrive in their destination cities the affiliates do not offer this same feature. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time

Singapore hotel thoughts - JW seems nice and in a good location (Marina), St Regis seems slightly more luxurious perhaps but maybe not as good of a location and Westin has great views but is a Westin

Scenario: my state has a 3 yr statutory rape law, this case involves 3 yrs 4 month bf and gf. It’s never been alleged, nor based on the facts is it alleged to be non-consensual or coercive. The parents of the victims aren’t pushing for it either. I’m a new ADA, and shadowing, so I need some advice on alternatives to the strict statutory punishment. I was encouraged by another bowl to challenge the system and my DA has also encouraged it as well, but does anyone have advice?

Is Citi a dysfunctional organization, true or false?

Just read a Business Insider article saying that if the conflict between Russia and Ukraine keeps escalating gas prices will end up being 50% higher and oil prices will be 20% higher. As if we aren't already paying a small fortune for both of those things!

Nothing worse than an analyst who thinks they know everything and can't think big picture - neither can you take direction nor do you understand broader context around said comments

Anyone here belong to the NYAC? Thinking of joining what are fees like for monthly dues? Do you like it?

Feeling really overwhelmed and wondering if anyone else has struggled with something similar: I’ve been with the same company for about three years and I feel like it’s time for a change of pace. Poked around on LinkedIn and there wasn’t a single listing I was interested in that I felt genuinely qualified for. Did I somehow fall behind or does everyone just have unrealistic expectations?

Most indulgent gift you've bought yourself?

I have been working remotely since covid getting nothing but positive reviews. My company is not remote friendly and is now telling me I have to return to the office or I lose my job. I just found out a co-worker had a remote position created for them, without a job posting, without an interview and without the experience required (normally a license or certification would be mandatory). I understand life isn’t fair but is there an ethical problem with this?
