@ChannelMktMC @CompTIAConnect Thank you, Michelle!

[Kris Blackmon @Kristility]

@AmericanAir I’m sorry, too. I’m platinum & still was bumped from first & given the runaround today, as with most flights I’ve booked with you in recent years. You’re awful to deal with, and I don’t blame you, the CSR having to field these complaints. I blame your multi billion $ execs

[Kris Blackmon @Kristility]

@AmericanAir could you explain why the seats I selected and paid for this weekend were given to other passengers? I'd like to know how I can buy other people's seats in the future. Spend plenty of money with y'all and have status, so am confused. Many thanks, and happy holidays!

[Kris Blackmon @Kristility]

@AmericanAir And by the way, sent a DM about this and never heard about it at all. Now I’m going through another travel nightmare with you guys and expect it will be crickets from you here as well

[Kris Blackmon @Kristility]

@AmericanAir Ah that was on a different thread so I was confused. I’ll DM you shortly!

[Kris Blackmon @Kristility]

@AmericanAir I have not had a flight in over two years that you guys haven’t screwed up in someway or another. I have been booked, canceled, delayed, rebooked, and more about half a dozen times today. I’m honestly not sure when I show up to the airport if I’m going to have a seat

[Kris Blackmon @Kristility]

@RachaelJustesen @Kia Yeah, I’ve been escalated so much I could reach the stars by now. And each time it’s “that’s another department, we can’t do anything”

[Kris Blackmon @Kristility]

@Kia one of the worst CX of my life with Kia Motor Finance. Been trying to get one single form re: registration for well over a month. No one can tell me how long it'll be; meantime I'm getting tickets. Time to sell the car and never, ever say anything nice about Kia again.

[Kris Blackmon @Kristility]

@Kia Thanks for that, but I’ve been on the phone with them at least once a week for months. That’s why I was reaching out to you here. I guess I’m just SOL with my Kia purchase.

@AmericanAir Been two days since my DM…any clue what happened?

[Kris Blackmon @Kristility]

@BobCumbersome @AmericanAir They eventually refunded my canceled flight that I booked at a reasonable price months prior, but that didn't help me when I had to drop $1k on a last minute United flight to get me where I needed to be. Having status with AA is like being first in line for your worst nightmare.

@xposureidc What a fabulous session! Thanks all for continuing to advocate for #DEI in the channel.

[Kris Blackmon @Kristility]

Dude. Only HALF of organizations are prepared to defend against a ransomware attack. That’s crazy! They need more channel partners to help! https://t.co/SKGuWSH5Kr

Look up at the sky!! Well, not literally, but there are trends in cloud computing you should be keeping an eye on. Check them out here…have you seen similar trends? https://t.co/Xtmp0froCk

[Kris Blackmon @Kristility]

“86 percent of employees and executives cite lack of collaboration as the reason for workplace failures.” That’s a pretty staggering number. But @Vendasta has a strategy to create an environment where teams can thrive and businesses can grow. https://t.co/Jki8JU91Wp

[Kris Blackmon @Kristility]

Algorithmic bias should be among the top priorities when addressing #DEI and creating initiatives that promote fairness. Read about how AI biases impact businesses as well as society, and practices tech companies can implement right now to eliminate them.
