Was annoyed it took 9 hours to fly SFO>ORD. Walked off the plane at 3:30am to see a lot of unfortunate travelers camped out in the airport. Now I'm just glad I made it home.

Glad you made it. Chicago sounded crazy

Feel the same way. Got on my flight from Chicago as the last person off standby, middle seat, had to gate check my bag, sat on the runway for an hour. Still made it home before my original flight would've taken off. Have to remind myself to appreciate the small wins sometimes!

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

My bosses boss a plagiarized an article of mine and I’m not sure what I should do. What would you do. An exec two levels above me took one of my published articles removed my name and posted it to a different site with the only changes being removing my name and adding theirs.

Do I report this to the ethics hotline? Have someone else report it or just drop it. This particular individual may have accidentally told a truth once so this isn’t likely new behavior from them.
