Picked the wrong origin airport for Emirates personal travel ticket. Called 45 minutes later and can't waive $500 change fee because trip is less than 7 days. How can I fight this?

Keep calling back until you get the answer you want. Usually works. Explain the bereavement

I agree with P2. Also, work your way up customer service food chain to a supervisor. Be very polite.

Also, consider contesting charge with cc company, as they might have some sway.

I'd try different channels (call multiple times to speak to different people, install twitter and reach out thru there, etc.)

Call your credit card company? See if there is anything they can do? Not sure it'll work just throwing some ideas. Hope you get it all sorted out!

Hi all,

I just got a job with Delta airlines and I had an accomodation request to work remotely as I am Immunocompromised. I provided all the neccesary documents to back up my request and letters and documents from my Dr. aswell. My request was denied because the team said they wanted me to have face time and one on one interactions with people from other team (which defeats the purpose of my request) because I have to limit those interactions to reduce the risk of infection. What do I do?

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.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.
