Southwest boarding is so messy. People in B&C groups are so lost.

Confronted client today about partner forcing us to travel while client site has travel restrictions. As a result is team is remote next week. Counting down days till I get rolled off/fired now lol

Leisure travel is still a bit out of my budget, but I’ve gotten a lot of points from referring friends to my travel credit card by making a post on Facebook. That feels like a once and done opportunity. Does anyone here have tips on getting large amounts of credit card points to use for travel?

People at EY not use the corporate card? The expense system is horrible. But might not be worth using my Marriott card...

American has a promo listed on their app - use Rocketmiles to book a hotel and earn X000 American points. Has anyone here used it? If I book a Marriott properly, can I apply my Marriott retroactively?

I’m generally not a beggar but figured it was worth a shot: Does anyone have two United Club passes that are going to expire soon and you’re willing to share?

I was platinum lifetime marriott... on the spg app, i now show gold lifetime. That should show Platinum lifetime right?

Does your firm let you take 28-30 December off? Many of my team members won’t be working those days and I decided last minute that I’d like to travel somewhere between Christmas and the New Year.

Bartender at the hotel finally knows my name and face. Am I a real management consultant now?

Flying Southwest. An add at the entrance of the plane says: "anybody can fly you, but we do it with a smile". Scaryyyy. Are they letting any smily person fly us? Hahah

Heads up: Hilton is giving triple points during July if you use their credit card for booking. Good opportunity to make up to 54 points per $1. Time to stack up those points! Happy monday! :D

Guys 500$ to invest in alt coins..Any suggestions?

I NEED HELP WITH CREDIT SCORE issues: Two months ago my credit score went down by 30 to 40 points due to dad missing credit card payment by a day (i got added to as authorized user on his credit card for me to build credit but now I’m filled with regret). I was devastated by it. This past month I have been making more payments and paid off my aug statement in full thinking it will boost my credit score. But I don’t know why it went down another 10 points. More below:

Are there any debt consolidation options for a professional family man with a decent credit score, who's let high interest credit card debt get out of hand? I get the mailers that entice with a low advertised rate, and then the offer comes back at something slightly less than what I am already paying. I am thinking something along the lines of a bank that I can talk to, and explain exactly where the money is going, not being apposed to a direct deposit to the card companies themselves.

American Airline q - if I have Gold status and an American Airlines credit card - does that mean I get two free checked bags or one

Apart from offer do we have any other additional benefits in ibm like leave encashment, travel or internet allowance, food card allowance etc.
I also see sign on bonus of 1lk, could you please let me know when and how it will be paid considering working for 1year plus ?
What is the % we can expect for yearly performance bonus which is not part of package and how is it calculated and when it will normally be credited ?

I canceled my Amex paid membership as we aren’t traveling for work yet. Have 100k points to redeem in 2 days. Don’t want to waste it on target or Walmart gift cards as they have terrible conversion rate. Any suggestions? May be transfer to Emirates points as I will travel to Dubai in a year?

I’m working on casting hosts for a branded content series in the travel and hospitality space. Wondering if anyone has recommendations for where to tap that talent? They don’t need to be SME’s or influencers in the space, but mid level experience hosting.

New year checklist for amex plat, CSR, Delta, and AA? :)

Any pointers on which practice areas at BCG Dubai has most clients in Dubai/remote work? Planning to join BCG Dubai soon and because of some personal issues, I just cannot travel outside Dubai. Will it be possible at BCG Dubai?

How do you handle people in your life who try to discourage you from working so much or don’t understand your ambition? I’m thinking about just cutting off a lot of people.

Thinking of moving from Big4 cyber to Accenture cyber. Any major differences (other than no channel restrictions).

I’ve been asked by a client to coach their team on how to structure and write scripts for their corporate event content (e.g. panel discussions). I’ve happily had a crack at helping them but it’s a bit out of my wheelhouse - is this ask something that would ordinarily be given to an agency copywriter? Or would it usually be something a content or speech writer would do?
Either way, I’m happy to add the additional skill to my CV 😅

Losing motivation and drive as time goes on , and I’m only 27 . Nothing I’m passionate about and money just seems like it’s ever enough ($160k total comp) . I was lucky enough to be making that much at McK while solving social problems within education , Econ dev , and public health

I feel lost / bored :(

"You can't get rich working for someone else" the truth of this statement has started to sink in over my first two years on the job (and out of school). What's stopping many of you young folks without

The legend got it right “Don’t trust HR to be useful.”
They have this capability of blowing up a small thing to a serious issue. It seems their lives are too boring they intentionally stimulate it.

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.
