I did not have any personal travel plans disrupted, however, my mother in law was supposed to fly in on Friday for a weekend visit. However, her flight was indefinitely postponed… I feel a little guilty because I am probably one of the few people who benefited from the crowdstrike outage.

funny

Sorry to hear that, that's horrendous. It's really staggering how much impact one update bug could have. Airports are in chaos and hospitals had to postpone surgeries. It's insane. I wasn't personally affected, thankfully, but some of our departments were knocked out and I gather no one knows when they'll be back up. A lot of people won't have much of a weekend, or they'll have one they'll never forget.

I know someone who won't be able to attend her mother's funeral because all flights got cancelled.

Anyone hiring those who have been out of work for a year? I took time off to tend to personal matters, but I am now looking to get back into the workforce again. My previous experience includes time at B4 audit up to senior level and then transitioned to manager in industry. Senior/manager roles are preferred.

I don’t mind audit. However, I’d prefer it not to be at a B4, as I am looking for some semblance of a work life balance.

DM me if you have something above, thanks.
