I highly doubt any partner is willing to take the large hit to their bottom line to push for regular non-reimbursed travel for the majority of their staff.

It’ll probably come out of the account’s business development budget in that case, but I don’t think Partners will want to give clients the idea they can get the more effective in person collaboration without paying for it.

It should come out of your overhead/admin budget, but you shouldn't be paying out of pocket for transportation, lodging, or meals.

On the bench and anxious! Does everyone have a project lined up immediately after a project ends even if that project weren't the top choice?

My PM skipped out two days this week with the client-side group at "an offsite meeting". Tons of meetings had to be shuffled. I found out they went to a spa.

What would you consider to be a good target for a savings account? I hate putting money in that’s basically getting absolutely no returns (especially with today’s inflation), but my wife is a little more risk averse and definitely has a higher threshold than me.

Chase Mileage Plus has failed me. Never got my lounge passes. At airport now. Lounge can't look me up. Refuse to pay extra. Chase can't give me a pass or compensation for the trouble. #somad

Performance evaluation question. When you’re asked to self-rate, do you put exceed expectations if you genuinely think you’ve done a pretty solid job in a certain area? Lol. Or is it better to take the humble route and say “meets expectations” and hope for your manager to recognize your efforts and reward you for your humility? Lol

What do you think the implications are for major TelCos? Frankly, the move is quite disruptive and may cause some TelCos to cease to exist in the mid-to-long term
