Valid delays are never a good reason to fail to communicate why to your customers though.

^^same just got home

Had to go back to the hotel and can't fly out until tomorrow afternoon 😭

It's easy to get frustrated when the ramp closes due to lightning, but several years back at least one Charlotte ground employee was killed by lightning from a storm everyone thought was far enough away to not be an issue. Since then most airports close the ramp if there is lightning within about 12-15 miles.

Here's to not getting home til well after midnight.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
