Any firms throwing massive social gatherings aka summer parties at the moment despite Covid raging on? Because Capco is. IN EVERY OFFICE, including NYC where >500 people expected. Seems irresponsible, especially since someone at the Chicago party tested positive 2 weeks ago. What are other firms doing?

I'm against Obama's party 100%. However, at least at his people were vaccinated. Capco is filled with antivaxxers and antimaskers

I’m just glad to see that Capco is not afraid to take steps toward returning to normal. There are ways to be smart about gatherings and we need to explore ways to further relationships. The virus isn’t going away, we have to learn to deal with it.

@OP - in Canada (tier 2 city - not sure what other offices are doing) - we are having smaller socials (10 ppl max)

I would recommend seeing what Accenture is doing since I think they are the most risk adverse for COVID; for fair comparisons I would avoid inputs from B4 since they are cowboy orgs following the local partners interpretations of public health guidance; recommend asking folk @IBM; Capgemini too

I just logged in for open enrollment and see that my benefit costs are increasing quite a bit. Family of 4 - medical/dental/vision will be about $345/pay period plus whatever I contribute to my HSA. Is this the norm now or is this way too much? We are also on an income based rate plan and I recently crossed into the bottom of the most expensive tier so it’s an even bigger hit over the normal YoY increase.

Hi everyone, is there anyone who is aware of a nursing position that doesn’t require the Covid vaccine? I’m a BSN with 4 years of experience.

Rant: I finally got a baby registry started and sent the link to family... and immediately was told all the things I need on there that I don't have (including things I'm opting to just NOT GET, like an electric pump - why is my nursing preference up for debate????). I hate it already. I'm tempted to take it down, buy it all myself and just tell people to start a college fund if it bothers them.

Neither my husband nor I are good with change and when my husband and I went for the ultrasound he nervously asked "she's too sick to eat anything other than her vitamins and water, is it ok for her and the baby to go without?" Our doctor just smiled and replied "don't worry, baby takes" I don't know why but that was so funny to us. It kind of became our mantra as we navigate and move our life around that "baby takes," its made it feel more Us vs Change rather than Me vs Him. Thought I'd share
