From a few articles I’ve read, for some people it is a coping mechanism when they are scared. It gives people a sense of control over the situation.

I think after some people started buying this caused other people to buy because of shortage fears. A herd mentality of sorts.

It’s not a race thing, but as a white guy, this isn’t entirely inaccurate.

People are afraid that if they have to stay inside for weeks they won’t have any so they are stockpiling it. It’s purely fear. Then those that aren’t thinking that way see it flying off the shelves so they buy it too so they don’t lose out. More fear.

Got a GRE score of 320 (162V 158Q). Did my masters from A&M (full scholarship, 3.8 GPA, journal publications. Have been working as a consultant for a small tech consulting firm for the past 1 year and was considering a MBA + Law or Public Policy masters dual degree program. My scores are still valid for atleast 1 year. Aiming for M7 or Oxbridge in Europe. Would using this GRE score be realistic for the school given I've just 1 YOE and my quant was lower. I'm an ORM International student fyi

Hello everyone! This is my first time posting since joining this platform. I’m interested in connecting with someone who is open to HR mentoring. I’ve been in HR now for about six years and have never had a mentor. I’ve been relying mostly on SHRM and other people in the company for feedback. Even if it’s for feedback, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

A parent of one of my students told admin she thinks it's irresponsible that I won't be grading over Christmas break.

Is it wrong that I'm sort of pissed off by this? Should I say something?
