Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time

I’m flying my mom to NY for the 2nd time from Taiwan for the birth of her first grandkid! I would love to upgrade her to business since she’s flying alone, doesn’t speak English, & hates flying. The only direct is EVA air. After researching, we think a good option is to use Chase points. My sister and I are combining our points but still short by a lot. Doesn’t look like we can buy Chase points, so wondering if anyone has any tips/hacks on how to get/buy more points?

Top 10 books to read about consulting life ?

I’ve been on the bench with less than 10% utilization for 3wks now. I’m a first year and the past month has been slower with not many new projects coming in. I do see a few new projects come in every week but I’m not getting staffed on them. Should I be worried? Should I ask my PM if I should be worried? We’re in a pretty small group less than 20 people

Watching Home Alone I see that I was taught a while ago not to fly AA..

Inspired by one of my kids' favorite books, I penned this masterpiece of an Ode to Consulting:

One senior partner all alone
Calls two managing directors on the phone
Three associate partners at the door
Bring along another four
Five senior managers come overdressed
Six managers show up with a guest
Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
Eight associates sneak in the back
Nine analysts come to work
ALL THE CONSULTANTS GO BERSERK!!!

Ok, I'll show myself out now... 😂
