Just a quick tip for everyone traveling - always take a picture of your receipts.

🚨 Arriving home to Ohare and was approached by a guy offering taxi rides and handing out business cards in terminal 3 baggage claim. DO NOT ACCEPT RIDES FROM PEOPLE OFFERING THEM!!! Whether they ‘can do cash or card,’ don’t buy it - they’ve got you once you’re in the car. Told airport emergency hotline and they are investigating.

Stay safe and don’t get got!!

Hello all,

I had a quick question

Had a call with audit leaders last week and were told that they haven't finalized the office building and they will get possession of the new building in Pune only by Jan 2023.

Currently they just have the ITS with the seating capacity of 30 people.

Now for audit they want us to go to office 2 days every week. How are we supposed to do that when they don't even have an office? But they are still adamant to get us back to office location by June 1.

Inspired by one of my kids' favorite books, I penned this masterpiece of an Ode to Consulting:

One senior partner all alone
Calls two managing directors on the phone
Three associate partners at the door
Bring along another four
Five senior managers come overdressed
Six managers show up with a guest
Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
Eight associates sneak in the back
Nine analysts come to work
ALL THE CONSULTANTS GO BERSERK!!!

Ok, I'll show myself out now... 😂
