Please give me a break. Have you ever spent q4 running from city to city on Easyjet and Ryanair to the most remote airports on completely norefundable tickets and staying and still getting pressure from the head of marketing for your travel costs? What luxury hotels are you talking about? Even CEB staff for the most part are not allowed to stay in the hotels that members stay in at the retreats.
Your are one of the reasons why CEB has such a high turnover rate ... you give completely wrong expectations of what the job entails and then people get pissed off later on when they realise they have been given the bait and switch.
This is much like the much acclaimed "Marketing Analyst" positions which was for the longest time portrayed as a marketing position when everyone knew that this was a call center job. And then you wonder why MA turnover is 50%+ over a typical 2 year run.
Just tell it like it is, CEB for life. Then people can decide if it is right for them or not. As you may know from CEB's own research on HR best practices, one of the worst things a recruiter can do is mislead a candidate. Not only does it make for disgruntled employees, but it also costs the company a whole lot of money.
CEB is not a bad company, but it is very different in kind from other environments. Unfortunately, your inane cheerleading does the company more harm than good. |

So you're traveling to remote towns but cannot find a good hotel under $200 a night?
I'm sorry the Firm was unable to support your expensive travel habits. Perhaps you should apply for a job as an Ambassador to a comfortable western nation.
