What is your hack for saving money while parking at LGA? Can I somehow use points to pay? I paid $325 for a 4-day trip this week and I just can’t stop thinking about it.

Avis points are not worth racking up, right? Which programs do you transfer those points to instead? Trying to maximize all the $$ I spend with Avis.

Anyone else kind of hitting a... breaking point with everything? No I’m not depressed, but there’s no end in sight, never got a true break from work (if anything I’m working way more than prior years), seeing more people travel/venture out, etc. Yes, I know I’m lucky to be healthy and still have a job. I’m also aware other people have it much worse than I do. Just a strange feeling lately. Still going to social distance and all that stuff, just getting more challenging by the day.

Hi everyone! Can anyone tell me what you make as a typical banquet/events manager for salary or per hour? I’ve worked for Marriott/Bonvoy at the Ritz and for the Curio Collection with Hilton as a bartender/server/banquets captain. Now I’m working for a privately owned hotel and as a manager role in Banquets/Events. Because of pandemic times, what is everyone else making?

Is pricing for United Lounge dynamic? Does it ever sell out?

Flying out to Athens in September. Managed to get tickets eligible for upgrades. I’ll be Platinum with Delta by the time our flight goes but my SO will not. What’re the chances we get upgraded? Or should we look to just pay the $3k per ticket to fly Delta One? It’s her first trip abroad and our tickets right now only cost us $800 + points through Chase.

Tldr: Can I travel on old (valid) visa stamp while new one is under administrative processing / additional security review?

Context:
I traveled to my home country last week, planning to return to US on June 5th. I have a H1B visa stamp valid until mid-July 2022 (from my old employer - I have a fresh i-129 approval from new employer).

I decided to go to the US Embassy and apply for a new stamp so I would have a longer validity ...

Let’s talk about the social media posts of women complaining about how they want to “touch “ people they want to “hug” people they miss “people “

My response to that is : guess what whiny lady . Try saying that to those families who have lost loved ones and couldn’t even be with them at the time of their deaths ! Don’t you think they were saying the same ???

If you could reinvent the way companies recruit, what would you do differently?

I know I would make it a standard across the board that every hiring process could not have more than 2 steps.

I believe that with that limit, people would get more creative and come up with better assessments (but maybe I’m being naive?) 😅

What’s the going rate for an Account Director in NYC? My current company doesn’t pay enough and want to know what’s acceptable to ask for in the interviewing process (within reason)?

I had my first few rounds of Technical interview at Accenture couple of days back.
In today's HR interview, the HR tells me that we can't proceed with my interview since the amount of CTC they've fixed for my level (Level 11) is lesser than what I'm already earning.
During the pre interview round, the HR had offered me my expected CTC.
I don't understand why someone would do that.

Is it fair for your boss to text you on Sunday afternoon asking for a deck - the comments were given at 5pm on Friday. She didn’t set expectations that it should be done over the weekend. Am industry.

I’ve been asked to join a consultancy team specialising in coaching - but they’re using a stake holder approach to leverage pressure on the employees of the companies that hire them. I’ve built my practice on putting the relationship first, and using a different coaching model.
What are peoples experiences of organisations using external coaches? I’ve heard mixed things.
