ATL is worse.

You'll never sit in traffic in ATL for two hours.

It depends on the drive, but I thought LA was much worse. Atlanta traffic is slow but usually moving, LA was just gridlock for me.

LA is much worse. ATL is a piece of cake. Then again I never lived OTP, so maybe I don’t know the struggle going that far.

LA traffic is no joke but you get used to it. Trick is to love close to where you work or by public transit.

Depends on which freeway you have to take but there are plenty of side streets so honestly not that bad

It’s never good. But it also depends on where you live and which direction you’re traveling in

@AD1 -- I have once. GA400 in the snow.

Eh, I do. On a weekly basis.

I’ve only contracted in LA but it’s more that there’s more traffic in a city that’s not a proper city, it’s a fucken sprawl. Compared to NYC or SF where they built vertically, LA is just this weird huge mess of buildings that keeps expanding outward.

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
