When you look at your delta app and it says "19 hours until check in" as you are getting home for the weekend😑

We flew back from Ireland today on Delta. Our connecting flight from JFK at 6:10 was cancelled while we were flying over the Atlantic Ocean, and we were rebooked on a 3:40 instead (2.5 hours earlier) but not notified. I received no email, text or app notification of the flight cancellation or the new flight we were placed on, so we missed it. They now cannot get us home tonight and won’t even guarantee they can get us home tomorrow, impacting my work, (cont)…

Hello Fishes,

Did anyone attend interview from Delta Airlines recently?

Hello Fishes . Anyone works for delta here ? I need your help . Want to know about work culture and job security .

Got a delta voucher for food/drink for a delayed flight. Can I only use that for in flight purchases or elsewhere? There was no other description.

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?

Any other challenges out there for Southwest beyond United? I'm A list preferred on Southwest and possibly looking to make the switch.

When you thought your flight would be cancelled but turn out to be one of the few that leave. 600 flights to Houston cancelled and yours leaves. Bummer!

Looking for a Full-Time position!

Currently, work as a Project Coordinator for an Travel/Event tech-startup. Ideally remote or in Orlando, FL. I have experience in sales & marketing as well.

Would like to spend 3 weeks in New Zealand (when COVID permits) and trying to understand what a good budget would be for 2 people? Using points for airfare but otherwise renting rooms (air bnb/hotel) and a car. Both north and south island. Any thoughts?

Spouse and I are about to book a riviera maya vacation for early November 2021. We’re both vaccinated, we know we’ll need to produce a negative test. Any other reason it would be unwise to go? I want to make sure we aren’t overlooking any factors. Thank you!

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.

For those who have passed the CIPM exam, what is it like (and how does it compare to the CIPP/US exam)?

Is there any chance we can change the domain we are working in?

It's my first month in a new job as Product Owner. I went from a company that digital product development was their secondary focus along with consultancy services, to a company that their only focus is the product. The difference in scale as well as the different domain, certainly feeds into my imposter syndrome. What are the things I should focus to achieve within my first few months at the new job?

With product design questions, I struggle to identify user groups. Once I do everything starts flowing and I’m confident. But the initial identification of user groups is something I find challenging. What’s your go-to way of doing this? For example, the question “design a podcasting app for truck drivers.” What types of truck drivers can I select so that I can prioritize a user group to focus on and begin identification of pain points and solutions?

Can anyone provide an honest summary of the bench policy? I’ve heard everything from 2-10 weeks

Anyone have any good book recommendations?

Rule#34 in the Freelancers handbook: always double/even triple dip. You won’t make squat if you don’t. It’s a way to protect yourself from a ubiquitous crappy day rate.

I’m in real estate tax group and looking for good books about RE fund/investments/accounting during non busy season. Any recommendations? Thanks!

How did you deal with bad impostor syndrome when applying for jobs even though you know you are more than qualified?

Hi Fishes,

Share your knowledge on which companies have lesser notice period say 60 days or even less than that..

Hi All.. I need a referral for my brother in mastercard. Can anyone help with the same?

How would you recommend tackling a middle manager bad mouthing to team members and seniors despite having left the job? I worked as a consultant at a globally reputed firm but with a terrible, mind draining team culture — now the middle manager is bad mouthing and of course not communicating her inability to manage her own time, leading to work calls at 10 pm in night and abusive language at work.

Hi Fishes,
Can anyone please help with the grading system/hierarchy of GSK for digital employees?
How much can be a salary range for senior service manager?
TIA

I accepted an offer to work at an Am Law 100 firm in June. I just graduated law school in May. They offered a stipend and reimbursement for bar expenses. I am currently still waiting for any word on when the money will come. They have not started onboarding me or anything. Should I be concerned? Why are they dragging their feet? I have contacted them 3 times since June.

Are there any books or classes about convincing people that have irrational arguments? Trying to figure out how to frame conversations that lead to my conclusions that aren't based in logic and fact.

What would incentivize you to go back to the office or client site?

Is there anyone here that works for the same company as their SO? We do and both love where we work but during times like these almost feels more intense with the uncertainty.

Hey peeps new to traveling for this current project, wondering if anyone can share tips for people like myself who have longer flights due to layovers. Any tips as far as luggage & eating well, etc?

Has anyone used gliders that stick on tyres of office chair, for better movement over the carpet?

Ok travelers, what was your most surreal experience on a flight?

Guy just opened the cabin door to try to get on my flight after flashing his boarding pass through the window to cabin crew. Immediately arrested. So far, nothing even comes close for me.

Am looking at exit opportunities and researching FAANG. Curious to understand why anyone would join Amazon which has the worst benefit of the FAANG? Can anyone share what’s better at Amazon that I am not aware of? Amazon and Facebook on sites lined up in January! So researching now!;)

This job is miserable without travel.

My brain and body have decided that my long weekend actually started today instead of Friday 😊

Let’s say I close condo on Monday, and then a huge natural disaster happen on Thursday, or the same month, making $$$ damage to the building — Am I immediately responsible for the full special assessment bill? Is there any clause that can protect me a bit in my buying process apart from insurance?

Any book recommendations for the summer vacation season? What's your favorite book over the last year?

is $500 for a used aeron good or should i keep searching?

How is Strategy& doing these days from a revenue / growth and market positioning perspective? Now an alum from several years ago; genuinely curious to hear how the integration has gone and if the waters have calmed a bit since I was there. (I personally had a good experience and was a good launchpad for my career, but have sort of lost touch with the firm and folks there)

I'm back in the industry. One of my hired consultants (mid level) talked bad about me. What can I do to make his life miserable?

Do you get to enjoy the travel part of consulting? What are some details on flex programs some consultancies offer? I heard some firms let you fly out SOs instead of a trip back home as long as the costs are the same.

Asking because one piece of consulting I am interested in is the travel opportunities.

Thank you!

Traveling and the hotel bed is too soft/saggy and hurting my lower back :( how to mitigate this for the long term? Keep trying different hotels til I find a bed I can stand?
