Best apps, platforms or overall ideas you think will help boost employee growth / morale in your personal experience in this virtual covid world. For example, team building, employee interpersonal skills etc. Something innovative and different outside of zoom type meetings.

Can you please share any software your firm uses that you find helpful? Including any add-ons to Microsoft office (for example: excel power query for indexing folders). Also, do you use any internal messaging system (maybe something like slack)? Thanks!

I met a guy at the gym and we’d chat fairly regularly. Based on little mannerisms, I got very strong vibes that he was gay. We text a few times and he’d ask to hang out, but I was really busy and then had covid for 2 months. I hadn’t been to the gym in a month as a result but we were still texting friendly texts (talking about home projects, laughing at memes, joking about shows we were watching). I did sense that he was flirting, but I had a hard time reconciling that as I thought he was

How to locate testing centers based on covid rtpcr results turnaround time? Any cvs/Walgreens in NJ Jersey city area that gives results within 24 hours? TIA

The week before XMAS and it feels like the full moon in the ER. My husband is having an existential crisis, my best friend is crying at work, my mentees are in tears over Zoom calls, partners are quitting - the mental health challenges seem to be on overdrive right now. I’m just trying to stay sane enough to help manage this circus; my self-care today is working on my couch with the video turned OFF, eating as much chocolate as I want and scheduling a “meeting” to get some cardio this afternoon.

Bamboo Ceiling is a real thing. It’s an invisible force out there. The impact is real. My urge wanting to go for Partner was not strong as I look around me and don’t see too many East Asian at the partnership level. No one to look up to, pick their brain about partnership, learn from or emulate in a predominantly white consulting firm world. But when I did decide that hey why not give it a shot, covid happen, economy is uncertain , and now that window has definitely closed for awhile to get into

I don’t know who needs to hear this.....but just because you are allowed to travel to places like Puerto Rico and Mexico it doesn’t mean you should go. They don’t need people from the U.S. with unreliable COVID test results vacationing there. Their care system is near capacity. Don’t be selfish!!!

Quick update LA County covid update

Cumulatively, out of the more than 4.8 million L.A. County residents who have been fully vaccinated, 6,520 — about .13% — have tested positive

Can (Should) we all as employees decide that we don't want to get back to offices 5 days as week post this COVID19 fiasco is done and dusted.?

What's the point? If we are able to deliver results, work and progress from home, then why do we need to be shackled back into the monolithic corporate systemic enslavement?

Would love to hear people’s view on the Pfizer / moderna covid-19 vaccine. will you be getting the vaccine when it becomes available to you?

I started dating this guy some months before covid struck.. he was literally crazy about me. He even stayed in Hyderabad for months just so that we could meet once before he went on to stay with his family. After that it had been a real roller coaster. He pampered me a lot before and now he hardly talks. We both have switched to different companies (earlier were in the same) and now he works 6 days a week. Sleeps or Vists his relatives or works on Sundays. Sometimes I feel he no longer loves me.

Working for a Fintech company vs. working at a creative agency. Pay and title is similar with agency giving a slightly less salary but fully remote whereas the Fintech is remote for now but may be hybrid later. What would be better for my career. I am in my late 30's and I do have kids.

Guesses as to what happens to remote hires when offices life comes back? Not talking the local WFH crowd, but full-time COVID hires that live elsewhere.

1) allowed to stay remote ad infinitum
2) option to relocate to the office, but not required
3) slowly phased out for local talent

Obviously if you have ladder-climbing ambitions you'll need to be in the office to play that game, but it gets more interesting for the work-to-live crowd.

In your industry, how has Covid had a negative impact and how has it spurred new innovation, new thinking, changes, and potentially even a surplus of growth? If possible let's keep it real, positive, and non-partisan.
It is an important question, not really being asked enough... #StartupandEntreprenuer #innovation #UpstartGarden
