To those that travel, maybe specific to Accenture, do you get economy tickets via travel portal then upgrade to economy plus and expense the cost? Or is that not kosher? Thanks.

Not kosher, get status

likesmart

And forgot to mention, only available economy seats are middles.

No, against policy to expense that in.
If you have status, the upgrade is free (either at check-in or when booking depending on the level of status). For Accenture specifically, we have partnerships with Delta and AA where you can get those seats regardless of status

If you're talking about international, you can specifically select premium economy from the class menu when when you search on CWT. Most managers and SMs are fine with it because the cost is just few hundred dollars and it makes a big difference on intercontinental flights. If you're talking about domestic, it's definitely not kosher and you should get status asap so that you don't have to do these tricks

I was working at a Hotel one night & I saw a man appearing on two different floors, then in the stairwell. The man was in his 70’s or 80’s. He was wearing nothing but tidy whiteys. When he got to the front desk I asked “is everything alright? Are you okay?” (Assuming he may be senile),He wasn’t senile, he went swimming & wanted to make me uncomfortable and started to flirt while in his sopping wet see through tidy whiteys- and of course I had to clean up the water he tracked through the lobby.

Can someone walk me through the Do's and Don't's of AA miles? I think they're a joke.

My mom has 12k miles that expire soon, transferring them would cost me $450. I can pay for a round trip with that cash but I can only pay for a trip to my kitchen with those 12k miles.

What am I doing wrong? 😂

I'm drowning in one-off business logic or planning requests ever since the last shuffle of devs. I'm the most senior, and def know the most, but on a team where our devs wear many hats, it means that I don't get to code nearly as much as I want to.

I also feel like these one-off requests do nothing for my career, as they're not seen as valuable to anyone other than the requesters.

Has anyone been in this position? What do I do to combat this?
