I believe you OP. It happened to me once before. Lol

Sounds like the great escape

My SO did this pre 9/11. They were about to close the door and someone kept saying he was in their seat. Turns out he was. The flight attendant was just going to move his seat. Until about the 4th time trying to figure out what happened they saw he was on the wrong plane.

👹⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️

I got on the wrong flight once. Only realized it bc my seat didn't exist (small plane). Scary that can still happen.

How does that happen? I thought the scanner would alert you before boarding the plane?

I went to midway when I had to go to ord

London Heathrow instead of Gatwick. 70 pound cab ride, mad scramble, and still missed my flight.

When should a teammate go to management or HR about their partner not collaborating or contributing?

Weird question, I know, but I’ve been paired with someone who doesn’t collaborate, show initiative, communicate, know how to be a teammate, or honestly.. try at all.

We’re both new (since fall), so i had to uncomfortably call them out. I’m hoping things improve but I’m not holding my breath. I’m sure our coworkers recognize my effort, but I’m not letting this person drag me down. Please advise.

Hi Fishes,
I put my resignation in the middle of the ICT process to Canada, it had just been initiated. I'm getting SLA mails for an activity pending from my side, do I go ahead with it or just leave it be? Is there a chance my approvers will not go ahead with my candidature since I am in my notice period? Also, will it be of any use if I leave my company?

If a recruiter reaches out, you have a great initial convo then they say they’ll follow-up shortly with next steps and don’t (after 7 biz days). Is it worth following-up? My sense is if they were interested they would be pushing the process forward?
