Dear Taxpayers, It’s disheartening to witness the treatment of honest taxpayers in our country. Despite abiding by the rules and standing in line at red signals, we often find ourselves overlooked and disregarded in government facilities. Consider the scenario where an auto-rickshaw driver, benefitting from the system, brazenly flouts traffic rules, while we, as honest taxpayers, are left to suffer the consequences of scratches and damages to our vehicles done by same similar arrogance auto-rickshaw’s without even the right to raise a complaint. Traffic police says “Jaane do Saab aap to padhe likhe ho, (tax payer), app apni gaadi repair kar lena (aur us repair par GST bhi paid karo)”. What is the worth of being an honest taxpayer when we are forced to stand in the same queue as those who receive subsidies without contributing? Many of us, employed by private companies, have diligently paid significant amounts of tax throughout our careers, foregoing subsidies like gas cylinders due to our taxable incomes. Yet, when faced with unemployment or financial hardship, what assistance do we receive in return? We are unable to reclaim gas cylinder subsidies when our earnings dwindle to zero after losing a job. We are unable to receive prompt medical attention at government hospitals, despite our contributions to the economy through years of taxable income. (Apani tax ki kimat dikhani hai to ek baar “Rajawadi BMC Hospital”, Mumbai main ja ke Sonography ya x-ray kar ke dikhao?) It’s time to reflect on these disparities and advocate for change. I have proposed the appointment of four to five Members of Parliament as representatives for taxpayers in the parliament, aiming to address these issues and ensure that our voices are heard.

May 2024 be a joyful ride for you and your family. Here’s wishing you a very Happy New Year! 🎉🥳 #newyear2024 #worklifebalance #celebrations #family #biology #science #engineering #technology #researcher #research #scientist #PhD #postdoc #academia #industry #entrepreneurship #happiness #festiveseason #holidayseason

I think this is such a bonkers idea on so many levels 1. It shows us up as weak - we achieve something as a country and we all get on the p*ss and can't be bothered working - what happened to 'what's next' - it's not how winners behave, celebrate yes but train the next day... 2. The pubs will be full anyway, regardless of the next day 3. Not everyone likes football 4. We didn't have (and I don't remember loads of calls for) a bank holiday for the women winning the euros 5. As above for the Cricketers winning the world cup 6. What about other sports or major achievements - we very often punch above our weight in the Olympics - say we finish 3rd in the medals table (which would be a far bigger achievement) do we have another random day off 7. It's too hard to implement at too short notice and won't be a bank holiday for the vast majority 8. What about everyone with a hospital / doctors / dentist etc appointment on Monday - they get cancelled because those workers absolutely should be treated to the treat - retail AND hospitality won't be able to rejig rosters and will have to foot the bill for 'bank holiday' pay 9. Let's not even mention the direct correlation to 'on the p*ss' and the rise in domestic violence Bonkers!

Some key takeaways that I jotted down: - "Converging all lodging spend can deliver savings of up to 16%" attributed to HRS on a slide - Travel Managers said the benefits of combining transient and M&E volume were leverage during negotiations and better visibility and control of their programs. Also, many executive admins like to plan meetings and can be reluctant to support preferred suppliers and approved processes. - Hoteliers in the room were open to looking at a customer's full profile and stressed the importance of getting to know customers and building strong relationships. - The value of outsourcing to specialized resources came up several times as well. - Improvements in available data have made combining spend easier over the years. Many thanks to the presenters: Bev Allen, MBA, Kristen Reeves, CCTE, Brendon Duca and moderator Shalini Iyer! Great job! Outstanding session! Yeah, That's me in the Bizly shirt in the front row!
