@D1 you know KPMG employs like 180k globally, many of which travel on Thursday evenings/Friday mornings?

Probably is my director because that’s an idiotic comment.

Ehh globally- fishbowl’s global reach isn’t that high, also vernacular in post- you’re most likely working in the USA, especially if you’re flying United non-international. Then you have to be on a project where director specifically insisted the team stay til Friday, but unexpectedly got done Thursday. Also, narrowing the field, your director likely knows your airline (United). I reckon the pool of potential directors is prettttttty small

I thought standby is only for same-day change?

Lol. Booked wrong day accidentally? If not just expense change fee.

Nope, Director is an idiot and insisted that we stay for an unnecessarily long time.

Lol

Do folks have trusted/valuable resources for researching luxury family travel with young kids? I don’t care the cost, I want to know what is most convenient and nice for my family. Feel like generally most resources are geared to either a) families on a budget (I don’t care which hotel is best bang for buck w/mid breakfast) or b) couples / adults only travelers. Do folks just stick to true five star hotel concierges for help? Do folks just book luxury tours like A&K? How do folks research?

Boss has WFH for 9months. I have been WFH for 2-weeks for travel quarantine/state guidelines. She now requires that I go back to the office to “show face” that HR is right alongside the essential employees. I have been more productive from home vs the office. I get the perspective of team unity, but is it wrong to feel there is no reason to risk my health? The company justifies increasing my covid risk (high-risk already) to “show face”, when my job is being fulfilled while WFH. Am I crazy?
