Has anyone made the move from a modern vehicle to buying something older and less practical due to their decreased commute or need for a vehicle due to covid? If so, what’d you get and are you happy with the decision?

I'm moving to the East Coast from L.A. in a few months. Not seeing patients due to covid and using my spare time to plan. Any advice on culture at work, dress codes, etc.?

H1B visa transfer initiated with new employer. With COVID, kind of wanted to go back to home country in the meanwhile.. any advice/suggestion/warnings on that idea?

Any recent grads here who moved back in with family during COVID times? How much do y’all contribute every month to “rent”/groceries/utilities? Idk, I feel like I’m not contributing enough sometimes…

H1b fish who were terminated by your former employers, did your employers offer flight ticket back to your home country?
My firm gave me $700 which is not enough to book a one way ticket in current Covid condition. I was wondering how i can negotiate higher amount. Any advice is much appreciated! Thanks!

Is it as hard to take PTO as people say? I have a couple of long weekend trips planned (covid willing) in May and June, which is right after I start, but have heard that it’s normal to have to cancel plans due to last minute deals coming in. Any tips??

Any downside to buying a 1bed 170k starter house instead of paying 1.5k in rent for a couple of years? Living with parents and thinking of getting a new place post covid.

I'm able to buy the house all cash or at least 50% down (credit is low) and assuming closing costs are not that big a deal at this price point. If my math is correct then buying comes out to be better in this situation but I've never owned any RE before so wondering what else I might be missing.

Film industry fishies! After covid, what is the average of projects your company handles each year?

To those in leadership, no PBB is what it is, but to blame it on COVID-19 is just a slap in the face...2-3 weeks of working from home doesn’t kill the fiscal year when we’re 9 months in....

As healthcare worker trying to conceive how safe it. Is to take covid 19 vaccine ? Any suggestion will be helpful.. I am so confused

I don't get how people can be so lax about getting covid. Like whenever I talk to those "I'm YoUnG aNd HeALtHy" people they say it'll just be a cold, but I have a cold right now and I'm miserable 🤒 like do people like getting sick?

🎃 What remote teambuilding/social committee events has your office done since COVID?

Looking for ideas to replace the drinks or office goodies we normally give out (Halloween, Christmas, July 4, Valentines etc., plus random “fun stuff”) – we’ve done a few virtual happy hours but obviously everyone has had more than enough of Zoom at this stage! We’re all sticking within our immediate teams for informal catch ups - any ideas that involve the whole agency?

My MOH is probably not going to be able to attend my wedding bc of covid restrictions. Freaking out slightly because I don't have someone close enough to replace her / I don't know how viable her zooming in would be? Any advice / tips?
