Getting to travel for work, does everyone see this as a chore or a benefit? I don't get to travel for work much and I have to say I enjoy it for the most part. But my work trips aren't too strenuous

I think people who don't travel for work wish they did a little bit and people who travel for work hate it haha. The grass is always greener. I think the ideal is to travel maybe once every 2 months, but no more. I'm happy when I'm traveling like 4-6 times a year

Very, very rarely we have a training to travel to, like maybe once or twice a year, and I don’t hate it, but never looking forward to it. We do get a meal stipend though, so maybe that is actually why I tolerate it. Work travel is different, and just harder to feel motivated to do.

So I never get to travel for work and I always think I would like it. I mean, there’s a good chance if I did do it I would hate it and a lot of people who get to travel don’t enjoy it, but it looks more enjoyable and not a desk all the time. So I’m a little jealous of people you get to do it.

Hi all,

I just got a job with Delta airlines and I had an accomodation request to work remotely as I am Immunocompromised. I provided all the neccesary documents to back up my request and letters and documents from my Dr. aswell. My request was denied because the team said they wanted me to have face time and one on one interactions with people from other team (which defeats the purpose of my request) because I have to limit those interactions to reduce the risk of infection. What do I do?

Do NOT claim you are "colorblind" in the workplace. 1. DE&I knowledge is now a core leadership competency. Colorblind claims will earn you the reputation of being DEI-ignorant at best & racist at worst. 2. Colorblindness within the context of workplace diversity is an obvious lie. You do NOT want to be painted as an intellectually dishonest leader. 3. Colorblind claims signal that you lack the leadership skills & vocabulary to have key conversations. Ask questions here, in this safe space.

Do you all feel that the Health Insurance choice is actually all the same? The coverage is absolutely copy and paste for Bronze to Platinum and the deductible/copay is very similar.
