Micromanagers with no friends or identities outside of work: GET BACK INTO THE OFFICE!

Delta Variant: Well hello America

Corporate Lawyers: Yikes. Shut up about in office requirements.

And just like that evolution has saved the day again. There’s no reason people ever should have been pressured to return in the first place. Remote is the future.

Need YOUR advise. I have a concert tomorrow at a sold out stadium concert. We’re in a Covid surge here with Delta, I am vaccinated but high risk. Should I cancel? Tickets weren’t that expensive. Just not sure how I feel about being with 20K folks. Especially wit the new data from the CDC.

Dilemma - To travel or not to travel. That is the question. Delta surge. Is it a good time to look for remote or 50% travel opportunities? What’s your take?

A get that people want things to be back to normal and offices are starting to open back up, but delta clearly seems to be picking up and we will likely have to roll back very soon. Feels like we are back in early March 2020 when Covid hit the US and we took much longer than necessary to respond

Should I be worried about the Delta virus? I’m vaccinated but my parents haven’t gotten it yet since they had covid recently theyll get it in a month. Should I be hanging out iut with friends and coming home to see them?

I live with a healthcare professional on the front lines of treating C19. Both of us are fully vaccinated but I’m worried about being an asymptomatic carrier of the delta variant as we start to return to client sites where there might be unvaccinated folks. How are firms addressing this?

Random question about social security: if I switch jobs mid year and had already reached the max contribution to social security in my prior job (but am still getting the same % deducted in my new role), do I notify anyone or will I just receive the delta in the form of a refund during tax season?

Will Wall Street CEOs go back on trying to get everyone in the office as the delta variant spreads? Latest news is requiring masks indoors. Most roles are back in office by next month. Any inside news if that will change?

Is there a test for the delta variant? If not, what is the process to determine someone is positive?

Travelling for the first time in forever - any fish want to help a friend out with Delta drink vouchers they aren’t going to use? <3

Hey team need some help - I’ve flown United since I was a child, and naturally I’ve flown with them through and through my consulting career. I just flew on Delta for the first time and it was so much nicer than what I’ve been used to. What’s loyalty like here at Delta - and is it worth status matching and becoming Delta loyal? NYC based if that makes any difference. TIA!!

I got hired as a consultant (wohoo!!) again and am looking forward to the grueling traveling hours. When I was in my former city I used to use Delta to get around but here it seems like I should go for either United or AA. Which do you all prefer and use? I have had bad experiences with United but that may just be a few.

Longshot question - I’m on a plane traveling to LGA today. Anyone know if I can buy an iPhone charger at the airport in the Delta terminal? I forgot mine (still getting used to traveling again)…

Getting married next month and we’d like to have a joint checking account to cover shared expenses, however I don’t want to miss out on all the points I can rack up by consistently using my delta platinum card (spending thresholds = point bonuses, etc). Also my credit card bill will likely be a mix of shared and personal expenses, so how do couples go about this? Open to any advice. Thanks!

Getting married next month and we’d like to have a joint checking account to cover shared expenses, however I don’t want to miss out on all the points I can rack up by consistently using my delta platinum card (spending thresholds = point bonuses, etc). Any advice out there from points pros that combined finances after marriage?

My delta app shows $0 under card spend… anyone else experience this or know why?

Expiring drink coupons on 7/31 for Delta. DM if you can use before they expire!

Anyone here returned back to the office? My company’s (industry) making everyone come back in and my team is doing hybrid. 2 days wfh and 3 days in person. I’m supposed to start going in next week. I started this job during the pandemic so a part of me is excited to meet people in real life and see the cool office but a part of me is fearful of covid still and the delta variant even though I’m fully vaxxed. Tips for calming these worries? Those that have returned, what has your experience been?

I have $700 personal ecredit on delta to use because I cancelled a flight. Can you help me with a few questions please:
1) if I use it to by a $200 flight, do I lose the other $500?
2) is it route locked or can be on any delta flight?
3) I’m assuming it’s locked to me only.

Best way to use 100k Amex points when leaving the firm in 2 weeks with no immediate travel plans? Let’s assume Schwab option is off the table and that I live in a delta hub.

For those who were more on the safe side with covid and quarantine, how are you approaching this new Delta variant? We were starting to venture out more since vaccinated but now reconsidering since LA is spiking and more and more cases of breakthrough are happening.

Have a trip planned to Portugal in late September. How concerned should I be that travel may be restricted for Americans again due to the Delta variant? Are people still planning international trips for the fall? Or waiting to see how this pans out? We are fully vaccinated. This is a trip we rebooked after having to cancel in April 2020. Will be so sad if we have to cancel again 😢

Does anyone else think the Delta variant will lead to shutdowns and layoffs again? I want to leave my job but fear being the first to get the chop if March 2020 repeats itself. Should I just jump ship already? If it helps, I’m not in travel PR.

Traveling to Morocco in August with the fam. Wife and I are vaccinated but the kids aren’t. All under 10. I have been having second thoughts based on the delta variant. Is this a dumb thing for me to do and just reschedule for later? 2 weeks out now and I haven’t cancelled anything yet, we had a brutal summer so really want to get out.

With Delta on the rise, is anyone hesitant on looking for new jobs for similar reasons when Covid originally happened last March? (Rescinded offers, pushed start dates, etc)

If anyone is looking to sign up for the Delta Amex Reserve, please let me know! I would love to make a “referral”
