If they are waiting for number of COVID positive tests to be zero everywhere, it's gonna be a while longer than Jan 2022.

Returning in the middle of winter when people are indoors, windows are shut and flu season is usually at its peak? Don’t see that happening in the Northern Hemisphere.

People will be all stressed out over whether the winter bug they got was just a cold or the flu or COVID.

A return to the office in the US will have to wait until Spring.

Does anyone really like Hyatt, Hilton, or IHG?

Context is, I am the highest you can get on Marriott and have not been impressed. I’ve switched ambassadors and still don’t find them worthwhile vs. personal research. Just used the last of my points at a resort for 2 weeks, and it didn’t feel like they even got the basics right. All in all, interested in a change when we go back to traveling.

Pregnant with my third child now and wondering what is the right time to tell work. I did it really early with my first two because I wanted to plan ahead, but now thinking about it, I feel like it just set me up for failure those years because I was reassigned from tasks and kept underutilized.

I’ve been a project manager (delivery focused) for 8 years now and have worked across multiple companies / teams as I am a contractor. Lately I’ve been feeling really bored in my roles and not challenged enough. I’ve previously loved what I do but now I feel indifferent towards my role. I’m worried if I look for more senior PM roles I will feel the same. What other options could I explore and has anyone else had a similar experience?

Good morning. I am currently a senior associate in BugLaw, and I have applied to several trial attorney jobs in Chicago offices of federal agencies since the start of the pandemic. According to usajobs.gov, my applications to the DOJ and CFTC were “referred,” and my application to the SEC was received and my GS scale verified. But I haven’t received any updates on these applications in over a month. Does anyone here have any insights on these or on federal hiring generally? Thanks!

Can the hybrid model actually work?

People have gotten so used to just backing meetings up into each other. You logout of one and immediately jump in to another. I remember days full of meetings before but not at this volume.

I struggle believing this practice will cease with any percentage of the workforce at home. I don't subscribe to all or nothing but I'm interested in if this has been addressed. Has anyone's hybrid policy mentioned the future of meeting best practice?
