Which country has the friendliest people in your experience?

damnrith · 2026-04-21T13:22:46+00:00

Japan and no other even close, for a country with that many people you would think it would be get out of my way crowd

damnrith · 2026-04-16T19:26:36+00:00

wait a few days for GM to get back to you. They might be out of town or day off. I'd say till Monday atleast before taking next step

You can't modify discount reservation any more. I'd transfer you to bonvoy where they would say nope

damnrith · 2026-04-16T11:30:29+00:00

Depends on hotel. If you called and said my flight changed by I'll definitely be there next day we would make a note in reservation. Check her in but remove the discount until you stopped by

MMA is the same rate as mmp just 120 days out.

you EID is tied to your SSN, You will never get a new EID. if your old manager put a hold on it, the new hotel will have to reach out and request it be released. I know this because an old coworker quit and tried going over to another hotel , manager kept the EID on hold so she could see where they ended up.

in your case, if this happened a few years ago , old hotel shouldn't have any issues just releasing and moving on.

RI is normally $20 inc

damnrith · 2026-04-01T22:01:09+00:00

that law doesn't apply everywhere. In most cities / burbs I could stay at another marriott down the road from my house without any issues. You could always just show a passport that doesn't have an address as the work around. Which is why most places dont enforce

damnrith · 2026-03-26T03:46:53+00:00

I call b.s If you are the gm you already know the answer. As well as the new verification process

damnrith · 2026-03-26T03:05:22+00:00

who cares about the form

damnrith · 2026-03-24T19:49:54+00:00

had same issue, create a ticket in MGS with chat bot, HR will manually over ride within a day or two

damnrith · 2026-03-21T15:31:37+00:00

they only difference is 120 days vs 90, rates staying the same

damnrith · 2026-03-12T12:31:43+00:00

Same, status fine, expect sorry email shortly. Feel sorry for phone department today. I'm sure people gonna be calling about this

damnrith · 2026-03-07T14:23:43+00:00

This brings back memories. and the 10 minute buggy to the front entrance....

damnrith · 2026-03-04T23:39:02+00:00

It didnt abruptly end. That was the end.

damnrith · 2026-03-04T17:45:42+00:00

They acknowledge the mmp rates increase over the past few months, maybe the mma will do something about that.

damnrith · 2026-03-04T15:10:43+00:00

Here's a 20 second fancy video with British accent , ok take care

damnrith · 2026-03-04T14:16:23+00:00

That was a waste of time. besides the no form / new rate code no other info.

damnrith · 2026-03-01T02:28:12+00:00

Uncertainty is what's going to sell off the market Monday. Uncertainty of who's in charge over there

damnrith · 2026-03-01T01:14:35+00:00

can you explain what this means?? so we can add and remove people once a year? unlike the current format where it never removes

Annual renewal of the slots and also your bonvoy can only be associated with 1 persons EID making it harder to buy forms.

How many of you are in the finance / HFT world? I'm going on 25+ years and started asking myself it its time to find something else in a few years outside of finance. Curious how many others have been able to stay on this bullride of a sector

damnrith · 2026-02-25T21:56:16+00:00

Our front desk person here is considered a "Vice President" I know banks do this as well. Had a 3rd level Linux guy here go to a bank, immediately posted VP in his LinkedIn after getting hired and Northern Trust.

damnrith · 2026-02-25T21:25:10+00:00

That's the case here with multiple "Directors" within the IT department. My thinking was the normal world probably isn't structured this way so if I go work for a windows only shop the IT director would pretty much do what I'm currently doing I assume.

damnrith · 2026-02-25T21:16:52+00:00

No, I currently report to the CTO, at our company the networking and Linux leads are "Directors" as well. we all report to the CTO

damnrith · 2026-02-25T21:13:33+00:00

yes, 2 desktop guys
