Sounds like a nice driver

I have a fake life for uber drivers. I also make it sound like I am an economic hitman and cause all the layoffs, factory closings, and bad policies they hear about.

I feel like a not nice person but she was annoying and wouldn't just let me be. When she started asking personal questions, I asked if it'd be okay to not chat. I said I was still waking up. Sometimes it's cool to chat, but she was late and seemed like she was ready to overshare.

I’m literally pretending I’m on a call right now because I’ll be in the car for an hour and I don’t want to talk.

Sheesh at least she's being nice, if she didn't say anything you still complain.

My Uber driver wouldn't stop talking --- on the phone and in a foreign language while speeding the whole way to the airport. At one point, he asked: "OK? oK?" While looking into the rear view mirror, I asked if he was talking to me but got no answer.

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.

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?

Seems like their culture is great, but a much higher work load due to the nature of the company. Thanks! Happy to answer DM's too

I’m currently an AE and was offered a promotion to sales manager. I’ve been waiting for this next step but the offer only provides a 5% raise over what I currently make. We had several manger seats open and I know external people we hired received an offer atleast 20-30% more than I did.
I’m currently trying to negotiate but there doesn’t seem like there’s willingness to do so from our hiring team. Should I decline? Should I leave? Should I accept and start looking elsewhere?
