I guess I thought the adult pool at the Wailea Beach Resort was plenty quiet and relaxing. there also weren’t many kids at the resort in general.

The pool there was also (surprisingly) substantially nicer than the pools at the four seasons, the fairmont, the Andaz, and the Grand Wailea.

Wailea is also much closer to the Big Beach state park which is the nicest on the island

To each their own though

Why outside of ritz? Is it because it’s too many points? Context helps

Only redemption options atm are points plus $1k, feel as though I can get a better value for my points elsewhere

Just got back from the Wailea Beach Resort and loved it. Definitely there.

Drove up to Kapalua to see the Ritz and it seemed dead, there was essentially no one at the pool during prime time. There’s also just not much going on in Kapalua in terms of restaurants, activities, .etc

Wife and I agreed we were glad we didn’t stay there and probably will not stay in Kapalua in the future

It all depends on what you want from a vacation. My wife and I prefer the calm and quiet for the Ritz. To OP - just make sure you know what type of vacation you are seeking. Ritz is going to be slower pace & relaxing.

I have an offer for way more money, manager title (which I want), much larger bonus & IVF benefit is better. However, I’m in the middle of stims and it is STRESSFUL. Part of me can’t imagine taking on a new role while I’m in the middle of this. But also feel like I can’t pass it up

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

Has anyone ever had to deal with a situation where the main product of the company has been built in a way that makes it very tough to scale, adapt to new use cases and add new features? A number of employees across different teams are looking to make the case that we should consider remaking a second, leaner version of it that can allow us to be more flexible and competitive with the growing number of cheaper alts. Also keen to hear about "known companies" that had to make this kind of move.
