Should executives be able to travel business class as a rule? Our company is making all travel economy-only moving forward, unless it's international. I have really large meetings, sometimes right after arriving, that are pretty significant for the department, and I'm totally shot when I'm taking economy.

I’m my opinion should be a time/distance thing. Don’t think an hour-long flight from SFO-LAX warrants business, but a cross-country flight definitely should

The horor, having to sit with the rif raf for a few hours!

The horror of having to sit with the peasants when you obviously belong among the bourgeois.

Any red eye should be business class. Other than that, I don’t think there are really hard and fast rules in my head.

That's standard corporate policy afaik. International requires approval. Domestic a harder proposition, like going to east coast to Hawaii, but can be done if you prep your VP or Sr. Dir.

This may be an unpopular opinion.

But I think it's kinda shitty that when FAANG people get laid off, everyone feels bad for them and they get so many resources to get rehired, but the same is not true for people that get laid off at smaller lesser known organizations.

Like those FAANG people will be fine, they got generous severance packages. The people who actually need help often get overlooked or are forgotten.

Q: for FAANG recruiters, do candidates get a reject stamp after failing even at the later stages?
I advanced to the last stage at
Facebook (Meta) around a year ago but failed on my last interview, a combination of not being familiar with the process and not having chemistry with the interviewer.
A friend who is a hiring manager recently recommended me and this time without even a HR call I received a straight up thanks but no thanks email.
Does this mean I’ve been permanently black listed?

I recently interviewed for a really well known, mature tech company that’s revered for its great culture. I was at the last round, after over a month of communication, interviews and challenges. I couldn’t even count hours I’d already put in. Then they ghosted me. It ruined my interest in the role anyway, but I’m still extremely disappointed with how they treated me. Is there a way to give them that feedback? And is it even worth it anyway?
