Feeling especially irritated today that BCG is having us return to office in July. I’m glad we have flex of 2-3 days in office per week, but don’t understand the need to return in the middle of summer when many we support have expressed they’ll return at some point in the fall. They keep assuring us how safe it is and that most of our colleagues are vaccinated, but that can’t be proven and we’ll be the ones who will be on public transit just to return on an arbitrary date.

Same! And saying that vaccinated people can work without a mask but not confirming vaccination status? Seems very illogical.

Agreed. Whats stopping an unvaccinated person from not wearing a mask to avoid backlash, or don’t believe in it and refuse to wear one as a sort of rebellion against the system? These are concerns that will still be there in the fall, but at least more people will be vaccinated and there will be an actual business reason to return with those we support in as well

That’s what concerns me too. For me it’s not working in the office it’s getting to & from the office via public transit that has me concerned

Agreed. When is your return and do you have a hybrid model?

I’m going back in mid June 2 days a week. I live in a big metropolitan area where I’ll be utilizing public transit which nobody has acknowledged as being a potential barrier for return to office. I’m mildly annoyed and hoping my vax protects me. I feel like I can’t say anything because I’m new.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but I have a few former classmates and colleagues sweating over lateral interviews. Take a deep breath and relax.

First, doing these interviews does not define you as a person.

Second, take it one day at a time; if they are moving forward, they see something in you.

Third, remember that the people interviewing you are human beings. Connect with them, be personable.

Has anyone here bought new build townhouse before? I'm about to close in 2 weeks and the contract states that nothing can delay or stop the closing even if something needs repair. If something needs repair, they will fix it while we're living there. And we have warranty for everything for a year. So my question is, should I just save money and have an house inspector come until 3 months before the year is up?
