I have a 4 year old and just changed my travel plans so I am here for Halloween.

I would. You'll kick yourself for missing it. Upside is the kid won't remember you missed their first. Starts to matter a lot more later.

I really don't get it. Our Partner told our project sponsor "we can't have a working team meeting on Halloween because I and others on the team have kids." Buck up, senior staff. Take care of your people.

That always hurts. I feel tou

Why? Literally every parent I know is traveling back early enough for Halloween. Nothing is that important in this job.

I have a client steering committee on the west coast that day. Heartbroken, feel you

Same traveling for the first time on Halloween in 4 years. But with Halloween falling in the middle of the week and deliverables due at the end of the week, it is what it is.

Yeah I'll be missing baby's 1st Halloween. Didn't even occur to tell my Director I needed to stay back because of it. Maybe I should have?

True. Next year it might start mattering he'll be 2. Definitely year after that though.

A good lesson learned. I usually plant the seed early in the project the days I have to stay in for "family functions"

Need 6 Marriott nights to titanium (spend doesn’t matter). 1 - would any hotel manager cut you a deal?

I found 10k per night in burbs of Chicago? 3 - would any cheap Marriott let me run this scam remotely? (Ie call Abilene Texas, check me in without my showing up)

Diamond medallion on Delta. They lost my bags on the outbound (3 with my wife who is Plat) and inbound flights (1) on a trip to Europe. How many points should I expect? Any advice to deal with this?

(1/2) I started a new job less than a month ago at a large firm with a significant pay increase. I work remotely- which is a special arrangement. They paid for my travel to their headquarters for in-person training. After interacting with my manager and some of the attorneys, I feel like I made a mistake. Manager is demeaning and rude. A bunch of the attorneys dropped not so subtle hints that people who work from home are causing all kinds of problems. I don’t know what to do.

Hi everyone! Can anyone tell me what you make as a typical banquet/events manager for salary or per hour?

All these weddings are blowing my mind and budget. I've had 5 weddings so far this year with several more to go by EoY. On top of that I've been asked to be in a lot of them which adds additional time commitment and cost. The cost of a bachelor party + shitty men's warehouse suit rental + travel and airbnb for the weekend + couple hundred bucks for wedding gift means I'm blowing tons of money for these weddings but I feel bad to say no.
