Sounds like a joy! If you’re looking for someone about 10 hours a week let me know 😀
Wow, what a turnaround. Considering what FM’s revenue stream looked like 12-18 months ago, who would’ve thought you’d be in need of more workers in 2021?
Sounds fun, but the holidays are coming up. No way I could commit 20-40 hours every week to FM during the holidays.
With terms(on call 24/7) like that the pay should start @ $100k plus stock options too.
Why don’t u ASK a few to post with out putting their names out there. Like X,Y or Z posts these people may want a Real job someday..
Sadly I could never pass the background check (my post history).
Since it’s a contract position, would U.S. work authorization be required or can you pay out as business expense instead of salary, thus making internationals eligible too?
You didn’t mention what the stock option package might look like. Vesting schedule, PTO, and AU cards spending limits???
Where were you guys 40 years ago?
(Yeah, yeah — Greg was in elementary school and Nick wasn’t born).
LOL. I’m flattered that you would think that as would be Greg.
Or should I be insulted? 🙂
Tempting to apply….but P2 would murder me.
Can confirm that P2 has wanted to murder me multiple times. Most of them haven’t had anything to do with Frequent Miler.
Yea, this would def be for trying to get a job at FM as opposed to making use of the PhD I just got.
Maybe I should argue that I would be the only person on the team qualified to understand the Marriott credit card bonus eligibility matrix??
I’m in! When can you let me know my starting date?
Not an applicant. Once you have hired someone I would love to see the best answers to your questions.
Also the worst ones 😀
