Are people being pressured into traveling? I have some anxiety about it and feel like it’s not necessary sometimes.

I had to travel back in May for a funeral, so I wasn’t exactly mentally ready but didn’t have much of a choice. It was actually better than expected (the flying, not the funeral). That said, I’ve taken some weekend trips but I’m still more comfortable with trains/driving vs. longer-range flights. Everyone seems to want to go to Europe or cross-country and I’m just not there yet. Nothing wrong with not wanting to travel, OP! After this last year I’m much happier visiting my favorite places in my area and spending money locally.

Haven’t been pressured. But everyone else on the account, including clients, seems totally nonchalant about flying to LA. As a manager, I felt obligated to go earlier this month. Now that LA is on a mask mandate and Delta is rampant, I said no to the most recent trip. My boss had to go, and while I felt guilty, it’s just not worth it. A lot of the people I work with got covid at the beginning of the pandemic- mild cases - and I think they’re less afraid because of those experiences.

I just got back from a trip, and I was amazed how everyone seemed to forget we’ve been in a pandemic. While waiting to go through security, everyone was right next to each other, not spread out like you’d imagine. Hand sanitizer machines were empty 80% of the time, and don’t even tell me they were sanitizing those trays. Even if they were, people touch them all, passing them down the conveyer and such. Oh, and there was no cleaning planes in between flights! That one really surprised me.
