As Netanyahu is an ex BCG, and given how far they had already advanced toward a so-called “resolution of the gaza question,” it’s possible they are operating on information others don’t have

Traveling to Saudi by road on recommendation of IMEA lead.. so yeah war is inconsequential

Agree with CO6. Easy to criticize. Much more difficult to lead.

Very funny how the ME leader talks about homeschooling and family moments of this period, and the Italian one mentions the sirens & continuous sheltering in Israel.
Not that the UAE has received the same hits that Israel, but it has almost half the deaths and sirens & attacks are daily

A report opened to me that they are having money problems and wants a raise. We are remote and they moved to a high CoL city. We gave an increase to help with retention 6mths ago.

But their performance has been avg and not seemingly worthy of another large raise within a short period of time. But how do I respond when they talk about personal finances?
