Unlock More Marriott promotion turns out to be worthless. They intrigued me by hiding it; clever to gameify it. Back to Hyatt for me! [2k points every ~2 visits is a rounding error, not a promotion]

I work in digital media & recently received a promotion (for background - going from mid-level to mid-senior level), as well as a 27% raise. Is this pretty average/low/high?

Bathroom smells of cig smoke and they can’t transfer me to another room till tomorrow. How many points?

With the new one executive order on US visas, trying to read through the fine print to see the impact to existing visa holders. I flew home to Ireland as both my parents were sick (both since recovered a couple months later thankfully). Now waiting for Covid travel restrictions to be lifted so I can return. Reading conflicting updates from multiple sources, can anyone provide guidance? (I have L1-B Visa since last year).

Colleague has put in his resignation. They are offering him whatever he wants to stay including 4days a week work from home. He’s not bluffing and plans to leave. However, at this same time I was asked to begin working as a supervisor for the engineering team and I would get a promotion at the beginning of the year. I have been supervising and managing our team of 6 for months with no extra pay or bonuses. I was told yesterday that raises will be light this year. Yet today they spare nothing.

hey, I joined Deloitte in June 2020 as an GPS SA analyst, I just staffed on internal project only providing me adjusted utilization. Now my standard util is 40 and my adjusted is 105... and this project last in another month... by then my standard util might be 20.. will my promotion be affected by this? My target promotion year on TOD is 2022. My manager said we might sell to client and extend this project in September but nothing guaranteed.

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?

Staying at a Hilton in NC and discovered a massive blood stain on one of the pillows after one night. The stain was clearly there before I arrived, but I did not notice until the next day. How many points?

Almost 4 weeks in and my status is still wrong. It was correct for the first ~1 day and then bumped down a level. Shouldn’t be hard as all my nights last year were SPG. This is ridiculous.
