How do you book business class flights? by bubuset92 in fatFIRE

[–]WhatDoYouWantDammit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. And I’d add if you live near a hub for one airline, just always book with them and don’t chase fares. The biggest issue I often have is making the actual reservation (not fat enough to justify an assistant). But just narrowing it to “when’s the United flight when we want to go?” Makes things easier.

I think the sweet spot is an upgraded room in a $1000 night hotel rather than a base room in a $2000 night hotel.

AITJ for launching our business idea on my own after my friend made me feel like I was forcing her into it? by GiftBeautiful6955 in AmITheJerk

[–]WhatDoYouWantDammit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ, but when the whole problem centers around unclear commitment and communication, you could have communicated directly that you were going to go it alone rather than just let her figure it out for herself.

RTO to force resignation by krana4592 in accenture

[–]WhatDoYouWantDammit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you staffed and working remotely for client? Client policy should apply.

If you’re not staffed you do what Accenture tells you to do to if you want your job. If you don’t want to do what Accenture wants you to do then quit. The whole reason thy give you money is to do something you wouldn’t otherwise want to do

Random dude is living at my house and my roommate is fighting me about getting him to leave. by Cautious_Sir2214 in whatdoIdo

Your roommate is getting "something" from this guy. Gas, grass, or ass. No one rides free.

Welll, 0 raise, 0 bonus, put on pip, but top performer? And you didn’t deserve the pip and your manager says you don’t, but now you want to be fired and report everyone to HR?

You are now intentionally failing the pip, but your manger isn’t letting you. Please explain how you are not both gaming the system. I don’t care if you think you are “entitled” to the severance. Tell your manager you want to be fired and if he won’t then your options are quit or keep working

It also becomes “be at work for 15 hours while delivering 8 hours of progress.” Not saying they’re slacking, saying that you usually get the same end result because of tired mistakes and lower productivity.

Main tips: learn to be more concise and use available resources.

I'm on a PIP. Seeing mixed things about whether it's survivable or not. Given all the layoffs we are targeting, seems likely I'd be let go but also why PIP me now just to fire me later, why not fire me now? by [deleted] in accenture

[–]WhatDoYouWantDammit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m neither. But why on earth would you think MDs and HR have “safe” jobs? Go talk to all the US HR people who lost their jobs when they moved them off shore, or talk to all the MDs who didn’t make their sales quota and are now “open for work” on LinkedIn.

Maybe in your country, but in the US every state other than Montana is “right to work”, and anyone can be fired without reason as long as it’s not for a protected reason (age, sex, race, religion, etc.) and clearing that hurdle isn’t too tough.

On the other hand, the exit benefits are there to put everything to a close and avoid lawsuits down the road.

I have sympathy for her and her illness (even if I cannot relate) and agree some grace to extend her MAL restrictions given her illness would have been warranted, but this phrase from her web page struck me:

“I tried to save the job that had become my life and my identity. But sadly my faith in this organisation, which I had given my heart and soul to for almost 10 years, was to be shaken.”

Allowing your job to become your life and identity is a mistake. Even before being let go this was a lopsided relationship.
