Going to ask for my miles I used to upgrade back and feel like I should receive some other form of compensation. How much and what would be the best way to ask? I called in and they said they can’t put me back in business.

3 hour domestic flight. Not a huge deal and definitely a first world problem but still irritating

Just wrote them. Getting back your miles is fair. What was the reason for downgrade? They may throw a few more miles at you.

Does anyone know if Infosys Consulting typically has a remote structure?

I'm Boston based, in financial services, so it is hard not to imagine trips to NYC being required. With family commitments,I am not sure that I can sign on for any travel. TIA!

If you're looking for inspirational films about addiction I highly recommend The Resurrection of Jake the Snake Roberts. It's a documentary about the wrestler who had about as bad an addiction problem as you can imagine. It goes through his problems, despair, but also shows his road to recovery through platonic love, support, and he finds redemption. It's great for anyone like me that tried and failed to get sober for years. I have over a year now for the first time.
