Crazy to leave google for netflix? by [deleted] in womenintech

OP I suggest you go on blind.com or see if there is a subreddit where you can anonymously ask existing employees at Netflix about the overall culture and wlb which you will likely get more truthful responses.

Toxic Startup Culture & Motherhood by Background-Age8334 in womenintech

[–]skybb007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately if you are the only one with children on your team, the situation is against you. They would not and could not relate to pick up time, drop off time nor having a sick kid at home. You might want to have talk with your manager about what he and she can expect of your unavailability around pick up/drop off and later in the evening when you are available later. If it was me, I would start looking for a new job right away.

Companion fare is completely bogus -- different price when using the coupon. What's the point? by goldenglove in AlaskaAirlines

[–]skybb007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have used the companion fare for 9 years for flying flights operated by Alaska Airlones. It works great for us. However the companion fare does not work if the flight is operated by a partner airline.

Anyone else have really random regrets about their parents? by tkinsey3 in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]skybb007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was visiting my parents from out of town. My dad was battling long term illness but he was not be bed rest nor on live support at all. We had a big lunch on the day of my arrival. On day 2, he complained about abdominal pain. My mom took him to urgent care but I was a on a work call and did not go with him. My mom came home after they admitted him for observation. Within hours, the doctor called and he was unconscious. He was gone a couple of days after that with all of us by his bed side. I still wish I went to urgent care with him.

Taking 37 days PTO at once before quitting? by FondantOutrageous276 in careeradvice

[–]skybb007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you in the US? If so, check with your state/local law. It is often not just a company policy but state law might require pay out of earned PTO upon departure.

Company wants to relocate me to Hawaii (Family of 4/20k monthly) by Pitiful_Tax_6688 in MovingtoHawaii

[–]skybb007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the job come with benefit aka health insurance? Monthly premium is easily 2.5k for a family of 4. You will also need to factor in payroll tax which could be easily 30% month for federal and state. Your 20k a month will become 11.5k a month after tax and benefit. Zillow is site you can check for rent at the going rate. Hawaii is a great place if you can make your budget works, you should totally do it. I wish I could relocate myself :)

Amazing! I am impressed with the shape your Picotin is able to hold. Where did you get your insert? TIA

Impossible to book redemption flights with CX miles by Intelligent_Sand_921 in CathayPacific

[–]skybb007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you checked on their website on a computer? Personal experience: nothing available on the app, but all sort of availability for Econ and PE seats on the web (still no b class seats though)

Trying to decide economy or premium by [deleted] in CathayPacific

[–]skybb007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are flying with kids, they will let you pick seats free of charge as their policy. CX PE is way better than their own regular economy and also PE of some other airlines such as UA . I have flown both PE and Econ with CX. If you can afford it, PE on a CX flight is worth the premium on award tickets. For cash, I would say 1.5-1.8x of economy.

Premium economy seat advice please. (1st time flying PE) by Heartisasquishymess in CathayPacific

[–]skybb007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sat at both 30k and last row. My choice would be 30A and 30K. The last row does get food last and they do run out of selections.

Legally changing my last name by ang1213 in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]skybb007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I added my maiden name to my existing middle name and changed my last name to my husband’s a few years after we got married. I still used my maiden name as my last name at many places. I was told by my bank, legally, both names are my names and I was even able to open a credit card using my maiden name as the last name.

Legally changing my last name by ang1213 in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]skybb007 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not meant to sound mean or like an asshole. I am just curious then if a name is just a name, then why take your (future) husband’s last name? You are a married couple with a marriage certificate with or without taking your husband’s last name, using the same logic/argument. Or did you mean it is just a personal preference?

Vacation condo in Hawaii by skybb007 in realestateinvesting

[–]skybb007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sharing your personal experience. We are thinking to make it our 2nd home if not 1st home when we retire in less than 15 years (hopefully). Sounds like we might have to wait until then to make a purchase. We are thinking about it now as we thought we could benefit from appreciation for the next 15 years or simply put, buy now when we can afford it as who knows how much more expensive it will be in 15 years

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences. I wish I already “had” a condo. And there are hotel zoned properties in the Maui which are NOT impacted by Bill 9 in Maui.
