Due to previous scary experiences, I take Uber black when I arrive past midnight and know the airport is in a less favorable area. I’ve noticed the drivers appear to be less shady the more expensive the car, however, you should use caution with all.

Yes I use black. No pushback. In fact had an MD recommend that I do so because regular Ubers can be sketchy, bad drivers, don’t take fast route, get lost etc. Said it’s easy to justify professional driver in business context if ever pushed on it.

I don't feel any safer in an Uber block than any other type of Uber... Have yet to have an unsafe experience.

that said, I usually get an Uber select because they're better at navigating LAX and will tend to drop you off on the lower level, saving time.

Yes I use black car. No repercussions. PPMD on my last project pointed out that a scheduled car service (which is allowed per our policy) would be the same or more expensive.

Hello Fishes,
I am much stressed.. it’s only been 5 months to join Capgemini. I joined in as cyber security consultant with good package.
However, the work I do the tricks, logics and solutions I share with team to apply in the project… all are of no use when discussed with the architect guy. The whole team rely upon the wordings/solutions suggested by him only. It feels like my skill/knowledge and experience is of no use.
I feel like what am I doing here….? Any suggestions please.

Deadlines can induce anxiety attacks for me. I worked through the weekend and just woke up to a (nice!) email from the client asking about progress. We're not going to hit deadline. This caused an all-out anxiety attack at 6:30 am and now I have to somehow get myself together and work.

How can I have a healthy relationship with deadlines? That "good and done is better than perfect" saying is nice, but expectations are very high. I just want to stop feeling this way. Therapy helps, kind of.

However he is not really interested in world affairs, does not follow the news closely, does not have a strong grasp
