It looks really bad if the direct flight comes in at 9 and your flight comes in over an hour or two later

I’ve done those, no skin of your company’s back if you do it on the weekend. EY1 Jan/feb has better MRs than Dec due to lower demand

I went client side and am miserable - it’s madness on this side. Have made it 90 days and would prefer not to make it more than 120 - but we’re in a pandemic. Half of the problem is that I “onboarded” remote and the onboarding was TERRIBLE. The other thing is that there is no process and I’m on a team full of managers who have spent 15 years at this company and have no availability to talk to me with a day full of meetings. I’d prefer not to quit without a backup but I cry every day.
