The United gate agent at DCA just greeted me by name and thanked me for my loyalty... before I scanned my boarding pass. I fly too much.

Must be nice to be able to book first class on 1.5 hours+ flights, and then get recognized for your financial contributions to the airline.

One time, the gate agent was locking the doors and she made an announcement to everyone to have a safe flight and said “we want to give a shout out to one of our our favorite passenger *my name* who always brightens our day”

This sounds like one of those “shit that didn’t happen” posts, but it did

The United gate agent just rudely dismissed me when I asked the status of my flight that was supposedly boarding even though there was no plane there. So you’re lucky!

Does United give you appreciation certificates to share with employees who provide excellent service, like American does? If yes, give the person one or more

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?

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

Transactional associate. Lateraled 6 months ago and one of the biggest pain points has been my new firm’s inclination to “hop on a call”, which of course requires every single stakeholder to join. The end result being every call has 25 people on it and nothing actually gets done because no one wants to ask a question that could come off as silly. It’s destroying my ability to get anything done during the day. It’s a complete performance and it drives me nuts.
