Delta just offered $1000 for taking another flight which is 2.5h later, would you take it? For the record it is NYC to BOS

Why did you spend the time to type this instead of taking it?

likefunnysmart

Yes - I would then cancel the flight, take the refund and catch a train. Will still make it in about same time

likefunny

How does canceling for a refund work on same day flights? I assume you'd get hit with a penalty and then refunded on your Corp card?

That flight is like 35 minutes. You could assign me that bathroom as my seat on the latter flight and I'd take it.

Duh. That’s $400/hr. Way more than we make.

MOSS ADAMS SoCal (Irvine, San Diego, LA) BRS people can you please provide some insight? I spoke to an experienced hire recruiter today and he said the company is moving to a hybrid model to include more in-person time between clients and staff. How often are you traveling to client sites and the office? is it as much as audit 2-3 weeks living in a hotel or sitting in the client's office? or maybe once a month? or are you working mostly remote? Thank you.

Boss has WFH for 9months. I have been WFH for 2-weeks for travel quarantine/state guidelines. She now requires that I go back to the office to “show face” that HR is right alongside the essential employees. I have been more productive from home vs the office. I get the perspective of team unity, but is it wrong to feel there is no reason to risk my health? The company justifies increasing my covid risk (high-risk already) to “show face”, when my job is being fulfilled while WFH. Am I crazy?

Would love everyone’s thoughts! Which of these two options would you pick if your goal is to buy and hold for appreciation purposes given these are in a very hot market. Both same lot size.

Option 1:
- $175k lot located on very busy street but across the street from new $700k townhomes and restaurants

Option 2:
- $250k 3 bed/1 bath fixer upper located at end of dead end street, houses on street all fixer uppers, located down the street from Option 1 (so also near new builds and restaurants)
