Anyone commute to uptown on one of those electric bikes? How is it? Where do you park it? Worth it? How you do during summer/ heat?

Not a bike, but a scooter from about 8 blocks down. I would leave it in the break room, do you have that option?

I'm about 5 miles away through the highway....my commute is not bad because I just take independence/74 all the way but trying to save on parking.

How long is your ride?

I ride a scooter in from Villa Heights to the stadium area of uptown. Takes about 15 min door to door and it's mostly on the Greenway or protected bike lanes. Sketchiest stretch is along Brooklyn Village bc I'm on the street for 3 blocks, but no issues so far aside from impatient drivers. Just gotta be defensive and not expect anyone to see you or yield.

Summer heat is nothing. It feels really pleasant. The winter is tougher bc the morning is cold and going 20+ mph makes it 10-20° colder. So I have specific gear (special gloves) and seem way overdressed for the normal 40° day.

I chose the scooter over the bike...it was way cheaper, I can put it in the car if plans change or it rains, and I don't have space for a bike in my garage. I got a lightweight model, so i take it to my desk at work.

I went from agency to in house PR 1.5 years ago (I’m at a prof services firm in nyc). There are no boundaries for communication; everyone is expected to answer emails immediately at all hours and senior people respond in minutes between about 7am-11pm, at minimum. Is this normal in the corporate, non agency world? Not sure if this is just due to the pandemic and WFH, but I was under the impression that in house life would be more chill.

If you go for interview and you sort of know that the person interviewing you might be curious about something on your negative on your resume like why is there a gap or why were you in XX role for so long?

Do you address it pre-emptively? Or does that show insecurity and you leave the elephant in the room and wait till they ask you?

I guess this is more in the case of networking than interview like do you make your own story?
