How are you getting to work as things get colder? I used to love taking my bike, but I always walk if there’s any snow on the ground.

I would love to live in an area where I could bike to work, but I'd probably get splattered within a week. As it gets cold I'm lucky to be mostly working remotely lately. But if I have to show up, I do it the same as most everyone else, by car.

I cycle 90% of the time throughout the winter. I have two bikes and keep one set up for snow with studded tires. It's a fairly short commute, though, and on quiet streets. I don't think I'd be so eager if I had to fight the weather along with traffic.

It was never an option for me to do anything other than drive so I guess it hasn’t changed.

I’ve never lived close enough to walk or bike. It would be nice but most jobs are not where I want to live.

I walk from the train station in all weather but rain

Hi fishes, my previous employer has not given me the money for Earned Leaves, they are saying it's not in their policy.. I have a variable bonus of 100000. Out of this they have given only 19,000 in the month of December after 6 months of joining...But they are not giving me any bonus after completing 1 year and 2 months.. They have stopped my appraisal as well...

So in total, I lost my appraisal money, bonus and Earned Leaves money... I feel betrayed and cheated...

What should I do ??

I've been working as a Junior Analog Design Engineer for a year and half.
