Re Delta Karen - it’s a dick move to call someone a bitch when they’re clearly having a meltdown and are not mentally well.

As a manager, how do you expect your employee to deal with a diffcult customer?

Could anyone from Bain’s London office provide any insight into how much travel was typically involved (Pre-COVID)?
Also, how do you see the split of WFH/office/client site be going forward?
Thank you!

So my spg points and nights have still not merged with my Marriott account. Anyone else having this issue?

I have an informational interview with a director of a consulting firm. I’m currently in banking. It’s just been 6 months at this job for me. It’s too slow for me. How do I tell this director why I want to work with him and justify why I want to leave my current firm just after 6 months? I’m an analyst and the role I’m targeting is also analyst level role

I have two roommates, one of whom got furloughed and one of whom got permanently laid off. I know money is tight for them already. As soon as they told me about their work situations, I told them...

Scheduling added another S3 (my level) to my engagement but acting as a manager, while I’ve been on this engagement for a few years and getting great reviews. My ego is shot and I’m insulted. Advice?

For you introverts who aren't fond of socializing or "hanging out". Do you just dislike socializing at work or just dislike it in general? In my case it's the latter. How about you guys?

If I take 4 weeks off to travel (I have the PTO), is that frowned upon?

Is firm travel back up to pre covid levels?

Today is Women's Day and 'A Day Without a Woman,' -- are you skipping work and wearing red?

Is the SALT team in your company considered the “stepchild” of the family?? Intrigued to know if this just my team or everywhere in general.

I try not to get frustrated by clients but it just gets to me when their accounting people refer to numbers as positive and negative instead of debit and credit

If buy the partners you work with regularly a holiday gift, how much do you spend? Usually I get baked goods or food items which you can’t tell the actual amount spent on. This year, though, I’d like to support local restaurants by encouraging people to order takeout—hence, giving gift cards.

How much is appropriate for a restaurant gift card from an associate to a partner?

My VP asked my fellow team member to take on a task simply because of her race to help them land a grant renewal. We’re both women of color but since I didn’t match the target audience I was not asked even though the task is on a project I am overseeing. We’re both offended with how this was handled by the VP, are we overreacting?

Has anyone here considered leaving healthcare altogether? I am really drawn by a role in tech, but I know it's such a big leap. I have a friend who did this though, and she is making even more than I have made as a travel nurse. Is it an anomaly or a real possibility?

Asking for a friend- anyone have advice on getting a travel nursing gig in SD? My friend does hemonc nursing and is looking to move to sd in 2 months. If you know any specific opportunities dm me, thanks!!

What is your biggest challenge as a plus size professional ... wardrobing? Air travel? Perception/image? Energy/stamina? Outright discrimination?

How to switch practice areas? I’ve been in immigration for 3 years now and need a change. How do you convince employers you’re a good fit for a role you don’t have any experience with?

FL tax questions: 1.) last year I had 4 longer w2 gigs. Should I get tax preparer or do myself? Seems easy enough but im new to this so 🤷🏻‍♀️. 2.) do you write-off travel/lodging for out of city gigs?

Any recommendations on where to invest 10k? I have about 15k in stocks but I don’t think I’ve done a great job picking stocks. Also for people making 150k+ how do you budget your money monthly?

What is with people not knowing how to read signs? We have a huge one that says “NO CASH ALLOWED” and I still get asked almost everyday if we take cash

The Albertsons (Jewel) and Kroger (Mariano’s) merger would be terrible for Chicago. I doubt antitrust will allow them to retain all stores here. Maybe a player trying to enter the region will buy out those stores.

If I take 4 weeks off to travel (I have the PTO), is that frowned upon?

Would I be dumb to start a PhD?

I just finished my MBA. I’d never even considered my masters until my employer paid for it. My MBA helped me get a huge pay rise and I’ve just settled into a new role that I love.

I’ve just been offered a full scholarship for a PhD in a topic I am passionate about, already an active advocate for and with academics I sincerely admire. The topic is directly for a study I already contribute to every year.

I want to do it, but don’t want to f*ck the rest of my life

Going back to work tomorrow after a 2 week long vacation. Scared to check my emails 😭😭😭

I’m a closeted no book reader. I’ve maybe read 5 books over the last 10 years… My teams over the years are always talking about all the books they read and providing recommendations, but luckily people tend to be more interested in sharing what they read rather than listening so I’ve made it this far. I’m worried I’ll be discovered one day

Everyone likes me because I'm a doormat with no boundaries. I do anything and say anything to make people happy. I will think what you think I should think. Will you be my friend?

I fear the unknown. I’ve always wanted to live abroad (somewhere in europe) for at least a year in my life, but then I start to think about the process and the changes I’ll need to make and chicken out.

I also like the feeling of being secure and uprooting myself will mean not having that (at least for a while)

Has anyone been through this? Any advice? I don’t want to end up regretting not following through.

I don’t like Chicago. It seems that I will have to move to Chicago in the fall. How do I survive this

About to start a side hustle writing smut for Amazon, who's got some story prompts for me?

Confession: My wife surprised me with her first tattoo, and it's my name initials on her ribcage. I didn't do any work today and ignore a ping from MD - we had it 4 times. I love her so much.

RIP Betty White. I'm so ready for 2021 to be over

Been planning for months to move to Chicago but I’m just seeing more and more news about crime getting worse, even in the nice areas…

Not sure what to do, I desperately want to move out of NYC and start somewhere new 🥺

Is it weird that I get annoyed whenever my boss subtly implies that I should apply what I've learned in my graduate program to work? Being that the company didn't provide any type of tuition reimbursement nor did I receive any type of pay raise after completing my degree? There are many other factors as to why I feel this way (no promotions in past couple of years, entire team leaving job, having conversations about growth opportunities but nothing becoming of it each time).

I’m not telling my best family friends about the mega million - billion - ticket I just bought.

Worst migraine ever. Still got it since Wednesday night

My back hurts so I’ve been laying on the floor looking at Fishbowl all day instead of doing my job.

Anyone have any good office chair recos for sedentary potatoes that wfh?

I got this very weird message from an unknown number saying ‘Soften’. What does it even mean?

I lie to my girlfriend every time we make plans — I always tell her to be ready an hour before I want her to be and she’s still normally running 15-30 minutes late
