Boyfriend tested positive for Covid, we live together. I’m negative, but keeping my distance. My younger brother also got it, and he lives with my mom. So Christmas is cancelled. Anyone have ideas on how to still celebrate on your own? And no zoom calls. I hate those.

Make a huge meal for yourself and make good memories - think of it this way, how many years would you spend Xmas alone? Hopefully not many at all, so this is a special occasion on its own

Hi all,

I just got a job with Delta airlines and I had an accomodation request to work remotely as I am Immunocompromised. I provided all the neccesary documents to back up my request and letters and documents from my Dr. aswell. My request was denied because the team said they wanted me to have face time and one on one interactions with people from other team (which defeats the purpose of my request) because I have to limit those interactions to reduce the risk of infection. What do I do?

Anyone struggling with imposter syndrome? When I worked for a very well known Fortune500 tech company I couldn't help but feel major imposter syndrome.

Everyday was a struggle and tried to keep myself small so no one would find out I was a "fraud." Looking back on it now, wiser and more experienced, I realized how detrimental feeling that way
