Cuba enforces a 15 day covid lock down. Fines are $150 (4x the wage of the average Cuban). Police on every road out of Havana making sure citizens have special permits and gas stations cannot sell gas to privately owned vehicles. Stores can only sell to those that live locally.

Let’s talk... Coronavirus. Who’s got a mask? 😷

How will covid impact commercial space downtown? What is the future of commercial space? I personally prefer to work in office, but I’m sure organizations are starting to see how much $$ can be saved

I have been working remotely since covid getting nothing but positive reviews. My company is not remote friendly and is now telling me I have to return to the office or I lose my job. I just found out a co-worker had a remote position created for them, without a job posting, without an interview and without the experience required (normally a license or certification would be mandatory). I understand life isn’t fair but is there an ethical problem with this?

Cut from a project, covid19 impact. If you need experience, pm, diverse industry, technical and business.

Question: can an employer legally withhold your personal possessions after you leave the firm? I left my old firm recently and they were not happy about me joining another consultancy. They are withholding any belongings that I left in the office and have ignored my emails asking to arrange a pick up or delivery of my personal items. I understand the covid19 environment impacts the situation, but anything I can do to get my stuff back? Any help would be appreciated. I’m based in NYC!

How hard is it to pivot to a BDR/SDR role as a tech consultant from a boutique firm with 1-yr experience? I don’t have previous sales experience, except for my time at a call center which lasted for two months until covid hit. What should I be doing now to bridge this knowledge gap? Is there anyone willing to give a referral?

What was the coolest work related party/ event you have been at, pre/post Covid?

Seeking immigration / travel advise. I know we are not lawyers but any experiences / stories would be helpful.

Can I enter the US when I have H1B change of employer petition approved but employed with my current company and serving notice period? Which company’s I-797 form do I show immigration? Do I tell them about switching jobs, etc.?

My new company lawyers are not providing clear guidance on this and suggesting against travel due to COVID in general. Thank you.

We just said goodbye to a 23 year old who died of COVID. Young people are not protected from this, important to remember

What is your perceived risk level for contracting COVID these days? Are you back to work? Masking? My clinic still requires testing in spite of vaccination status.

here's my prediction.

If Biden wins, the media will begin to message the following;

-The worst COVID risks and outcomes are to people with identifiable risk factors such as obesity and diabetes.

-Most other people who catch it will experience a bad flu.

-Many other people who catch it won't even know they have it.

-It's not commonly transmitted by touching objects and person to person transmittal is low risk except in close contact.

The media will then message that we should;

What challenges have you all faced in light of COVID and how have you adapted models/forecasts?

TLDR: Getting over your ex of 2.5 years ghosting you after they said they wanted to reconnect.

I was dating someone for about 2.5 years and then we broke up because of COVID and the long distance was making it too difficult to continue. The break up must’ve been like a 4-5 minute FaceTime because I was very distraught. After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)

Just read the sad news of the death of 1st AD John Nolan. (See wheresspot for thread) While I hope be didn't contract Covid on either of the 2 sets mentioned prior to his illness and death, if it comes back that he did, we need to have a long hard chat about what went wrong. Condolences to his family. Truly horrible news.

When are we betting the office will close for this Covid19 plague?

What’s the typical range of base and total comp for Associate 1 & 2 at a RX group of an EB (but not Evercore or Centerview who have jaw dropping comp)? I know the ball park of numbers pre-COVID but wonder how big the movements have been after COVID and the last IB pay raise. Thank you!

When covid first hit, I was delighted to be working from home. My hours even improved. Now, because of some triggering events, I’m dealing with horrible panic attacks on the daily. I’m dissociating and can’t focus long enough to get work done. I JUST hit a year at this firm and am going on a one month stress leave. Worried I might not kick this mental state in that time. Any advice as to what I can do while on leave so I can come back focused and ready to work?

Found a bed bug in a Radisson Red in Campinas Brazil, how many points?

Hi fish! Recently free MC here. Looking for a referral to a Big 4, or MBB

I feel like these “incredible” exit opportunities consulting gives you is only applicable to MBB (i.e, companies only value MBB experience vs others). Any successful exits from Big 4 folk?

What's a median salary (considering all US employees) for big 4, Accenture, MBB and FAANG? Is 200k for big 4/ACN, 300K for MBB, 400k for FAANG a good ball park estimate?

Is it recommended to get two full years of consulting experience before looking for a move elsewhere...for more comp (say to another Big 4, industry, attempt at MBB or FAANG)? Already have 8 yoe in the DoD space outside of consulting. And about 16 months of consulting exp

Hi guys, I got a feeling that big 4 or T2 companies kinda quiet in jakarta as opposed to MBB where they conduct lots of recruiting events (management consulting). Any reason for that particularly or maybe big 4 prefer internal hiring only?

Is there anything not masculine about pop sockets? I love them since I don’t like cases and it helps grip the phone on the train and jogging. Plus I love using it as a stand. However, I don’t really see other guys using them.

I joined politics with Trump.
What's this a MAGA =\= Republican?
Sounds like its just to say Republicans aren't deranged crazy racists. On policy level, isn't he quite conservative?

Who knew, Brett Kavanaugh is a (hack) partisan operative and a pretend justice. Exactly as the framers intended. Thoughts?

What are your thoughts on the quick turn around to replace RGB’s seat with ACB? And how the the line of separation of church and state seem to be getting thinner?

Awfully quiet here. I have been looking at news and seeing weird stuff. Do 70% of Republicans really believe that Trump lost due to voter fraud? That is an insanely high number.

Thoughts on the 2,000 dollar stimulus proposal? I personally think it’s not needed. Theoretically if you are getting full unemployment plus this 2000 a month you are making close to a 70-80k salary. Some people might roughly double their salary that they had when they were working. In addition, people like me (under 130k AGI) would qualify and I always could use money but it’s not needed.

I just want to say that I still support police officers across the country. I know that these are tough times for everyone and while I condemn the officers that use lethal force on unarmed civilians...I understand that not all officers act like that. I would probably get thrown out if this were any other bowl.

54 members is inadequate for this to be any use. You need to actively promote and increase membership

Welcome to the bowl. This bowl is to have discussions on current events without being insulted for your opinion based on other fishes hatred of republicans because of Trump.

That other politics bowl is full of raging and angry people. Even an objective statement triggers them. In their anger, they allow trump to win lmao 🤣

Biden's handlers request breaks every 30 min., and decline ears to be inspected pre-debate despite agreeing to a few days ago. Biden's team is looking for any type of available safety net.

Does the entire world forget that the Congress calls the election after the electorate votes on Dec 14th?

"Even if #CovidVaccines are appropriate in all circumstances, the decision to be vaccinated must be left to the individual. It's never appropriate for a government to force individuals to subjugate their rights for the public good. Individual rights are the bedrock of freedom."

Regardless of the details of the incident in Central Park, I’d just like to point out one thing. That lady was probably a very outspoken liberal. Yeah I’ll take that hypocrisy to go, thanks.

So what are everyone’s thoughts on reopening? I know as of 4/22 Massachusetts only has 21 deaths in the under 50 age group. I think time to re-open but precautions in place and elderly stay quarantine

More people died of covid under Biden than under Trump.

Do you think people actually hate trump? Or do you think it’s just the popular thing to do on social media? I almost believe people have no idea what goes on and just read social media and follow blindly cause it’s the more popular choice these days to be on the left.

I just watched Trump Card! I liked it a lot, I knew many of the things Dinesh talked about, but learned some too. Anyone else see it?
