I have an extremely difficult colleague that I cannot work with. He answers my questions with completely tangential information and i have to repeat questions multiple times before he answers them, easily the poorest communicator I have ever worked with.

The week he took as PTO was the best week of my career at Amazon and I was far more productive.

I don't think I can continue working here if I am working with him on a daily basis, but I don't want to be seen as a poor team player. Any advice?

Mini rant: I did three rounds of interviews and conducted a case study for a startup medium sized company just for me to get rejected by them essentially stating that they felt like I did not have enough experience in the role but that I had been the only one to do a great job on the case study.

Vaccination cards, is it just me or is the system faulty. I feel like there is no real way to tell I have been vaccinated. Yes I went to a clinic, yes i got vaxxer, yes I have my card, but I cant seem to find myself on any database.. so what's the deal

I've been struggling since February to get my WFH setup in a way that works for me.

I live in a 2br apartment with my partner so clearing the extra bedroom of distractions (we used it as a video and tabletop gaming room) was an easy choice.

Anyone else still stuck like this?
My company doesn't provide budget for home office either :/
