With all the recent Marriott devaluations / issues, go with Hilton

Fairfield isn't that good. I'd give Hilton a try

Looks like I'm going to Hilton. Thanks for the input y'all

Nice Marriott is out of budget range ($230/n), budget Marriott Fairfield is good for long-term project (eventually $84/n). Hiltons Garden Inn seems like a step up and is within project budget (eventually $120/n). I like Marriott but if my only option is to use a budget-ish hotel, is it really worth it over Hilton?

Yep, Hilton

Big fan of HGI

Hyatt is the wayb

If it is a new Fairfield, they seem to be on par with the HGI. If an older Fairfield, then go with HGI.

Hi my IBM sharks..

So I joined IBM five months back and just a week back I got a project.

Since my shift is 11:30 am - 8:30 pm, I started clocking in my hours in Workday from previous Monday for shift allowance and its pending for approval with my people manager.

Guys, should we contact our manager by the end of every week or by the month end to get the entered time approved on Workday?

Secondly, does the people manager approve it or the project manager?

Any inputs are appreciated :)

My client’s site got hacked yesterday. I didn’t see any actual signs of impending attack.

I’ve tried pushing for more cybersecurity measures in the last year, but being a Jr, I don’t know a lot about it. My manager had brushed it off as something that would be nice to look into if [insert excuses not to here]. Can’t push it off any longer. I’m afraid heads are gonna roll.Advice?

D 🐟, what does the travel (in non-covid times, of course) look like in GPS? I'm my offer letter it mentions the chance of significant overnight travel. I'm assuming that's in there because the travel is possible, even though its less frequent for the practice.

Does that seem in line with your experience?

Should I communicate this to client before pushing back against OP’s rejection of the mod?
