Was reading an info article I received about "Reading Progress." I am copying the lead sentence from Monica Burn's June 21, 2021 article for you, but I really want to know if anyone is using this app. "Reading Progress is a new, free app built right into Microsoft Teams." It looks good to me on the surface for ALL teachers and is time efficient! Any thoughts?

I recently started a new job and it in no way is panning out as it was made out to seem when I started and there are lots of red flags I’m just tolerating right now… for example, even pto and remote work is not as discussed from the onset. Is it too soon to start looking for something new? How does one go about explaining why you’d leave so soon to a potential new employer?

Anyone have a separate monitor to connect to their laptop as a second screen for WFH? What do you use? Any recommendations? Fwiw I have a Lenovo Yoga 920 as my work computer when not in the office.

Assuming we’re all working in the office, how important is it to work from your home office? Should I expect my team members, manager, coach to also be based out of the same office? Finally, if I wanted to occasionally work out of another office near me, is that allowed? Thanks!

Anyone who started during covid also feeling super vexed about never having been to the office? Had two jobs since pandemic started (law firm and now consulting) and been fully remote for both. Seems like firms want to keep people WFH to keep costs down, but I’m just getting sick of working in my room man. Not sure if this is a hot take

Salary for jr art director in NYC at a small agency with 2 years of design experience?

We have a fixed PTO time plan (very generous) but leftover rates by now are enormous. It’s gonna be about 160 hours of unused PTO per employee in the end of the year, and we only rollover 80. We thought about rolling over everything, but then accruals get too high. Does anyone have creative ideas how we can roll over excessive hours and don’t make them wages at the same time...

I am so conflicted about socializing during COVID. My friend invited me to a dinner with two new people (who work at the big 4) at an outdoor restaurant. Where I live, the COVID rate is ~3%. My friend invited the group chat and the two other girls shamed my friend for socializing in a small group during COVID. My friend group won’t agree to be in a pod and won’t meet unless everyone is 6 feet apart. It’s going to get cold soon and I feel like I’m going to be lonely if I don’t make new friends ☹️
