Which one to choose between Optum and Tiger Analytics for Data Scientist position? Where can I expect better data science domain expertise (In my previous companies I found very less understanding of Data Science practices as team)? Heared good things about both of these. Also hearing Tiger is expanding rapidly and getting some crap projects as well in the name of data science. Could someone put light on these things?

It's definitely going around in our neck of the woods. It's so frustrating because I wish people would stop trying to be heroes and just stay home. But I also know that when I'm sick, I don't want anyone assuming the worst of me and thinking I'm faking it or something.
Yes, of course something is going around. It's spreading fast because everyone is coughing into their hands and then touching everything. It's like folks never learned as kids to cough into their elbow. Think I'm lying.... Watch them
I've been fighting off a cold, but I don't think it's anything more serious than that. It's probably just from the temperature being all over lately. We haven't had a real contagion go through the building yet, but I'm sure it will happen. I agree with you that people coming in when they're sick exacerbates the problem. Don't be a hero, stay home!

Well, I for sure. Hope you don’t have anything to get you sick, especially right before the holidays.
Yep, there’s some kind of ‘funky virus’ going around at work. I love my colleagues, but please don’t come in and show us how sick you are. You look like cra*, I don’t want it, stay home and rest…please…

Honestly!
Designated infections,they all learned how to do it n called it covid,well that and the nanites in the black goo who got the jab,they are no longer even considered human
Covid shot bad. I feel
Terrible for all those who got it . InnoculTing your body with that vaccine has caused strokes with people taking blood pressure medications other side effects. Don't take it don't get boosters it's fake news.
i lost my job when i had covid it last too long the symptoms, but they dont care. it seems nw a days no one has compassion, i beleive we are only a number to make their job easier.

Sorry to hear that, but it’s probably best that you don’t work there anymore if they fired you for being sick, especially during that time.

Definitely getting to that horrible part of the year. I think I've been fighting it off for a week but it'll come for me. Had it for a while month in January this year, I just hope it isn't like that again!
Rising Star
Oh man, that sucks. I hope you get better.

Wear masks if that’s allowed. My problem is that I’ve had a cough for over 2 months now. Coughs take forever to get better. But yes, everyone is getting sick all the time…
Yes! The cough! My dad came home early from work 2½mos. Ago? Not feeling well but had a business trip the next- MY mom and I MANNNN... we had it all like cough fevers and Crap!! And I still have e a cough!!And currently have been fighing to keep the sickness from coming bk that PRODUCES my cough Lol
Rising Star
Yes, tis the season. I got really sick last year, was out for four days! It was definitely more than a cold, but wasn’t flu or covid. Doctor couldn’t even figure it out
Rising Star
I know we say the same thing every year there’s a new thing going around, but I honestly feel it this time
Yep! I was refused a day off when my symptoms hit and told to take a half day after I finished my mandatory prep work, then infected the entire Black Friday lineup. We were on skeleton crew all week after and we’re still dragging.
Rising Star
nah they should’ve sent you home
Yes… though I believe you can’t catch the same cold twice
Rising Star
It definitely doesn’t seem that way I got sick and then just a few weeks later. I was really sick again maybe it was two different things?
Rising Star
Totally seeing the same thing—seems like everyone’s catching the same bug on repeat. Really wish people would stay home when they’re sick!
