Status match! Complete a status match challenge

I actually didn’t make mine. But for some reason their IT department was waaay off. They gave me silver after one one-way flight, gold on the return, Platinum on the next flight.

Don’t think you will feel much of a pain moving away from United.

What firm are you with? Many large firms have deals with delta to get expedited status.

Delta currently has a 12 segment in 90 day challenge for platinum for my firm

Can you share the link to that? Possibly over DM?

One of your roommates (and a close friend that you’ve known for years) has a flight to catch. He has a suitcase, a duffle bag (no wheels), and a backpack. In order for him to get to the airport would you:

A) offer to drive him to the airport that’s about .5 miles away (5 minute drive)

B) tell him to order an Uber since you know his work would pay for it

C) tell him to not be lazy and walk half a mile to the nearest public transportation stop, with all that luggage, and take public transit

Did you do the NIPT? I just had my first prenatal appt and they scheduled me for the NIPT at 10 weeks. I’m a little nervous and anxious. Did anyone get it and got a false positive? Do you not recommend it? I wish I could ask family but we’re not telling anyone until the 12 weeks mark.

Is it just me or does this comp seem really low for a CPA with five years of SEC reporting experience?

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.
