How do you think the military has changed since Covid? Did anyone here go through bootcamp during 2020?

If people took COVID as seriously as they do CDIFF- they would wear masks! LOL

Managing partner exposed to covid....has been coming to work a week before he found out (we were told this morning) but only Change made is him working from home while rest of staff required to come in normally until he gets his test results....doesn’t the entire office need to be closed during a time like this?

Help requested: my older brother (male in his 30s in NYC) is relatively high risk for getting COVID due to his job and underlying health but he keeps procrastinating on getting the vaccine. He doesn’t want to admit it, but I have a high suspicion it’s because he’s very afraid of needles and shots (but doesn’t want to admit it). How should I best support him?

I have COVID and have not been back to school since Christmas break. My district does not require a negative test to return, just 5 days of quarantine. However, I am a special Ed teacher and work with medically fragile kiddos. As a parent I would not want my child’s teacher to return to school knowing they could infect someone…does this seem right???

I swear if I see another COVID TV spot showing empty restaurants/bars I’ll... rant on Twitter.

Hi Fishes,

My colleague's younger sister is looking for a job as a fresher. She has recently graduated (B.com) and is pursuing US CMA. She's also done a couple of internships and is highly proactive and motivated. The family has been struggling to meet the ends specially due to Covid Pandemic.

Tried applying via Naukri and LinkedIn but there's hardly any response.
Can someone please refer her in their organization for a relevant role for a B.Com graduate. DM me for more details.

TIA

How has coronavirus affected the way you're planning your career over the next 1-3 years?

Good luck to all the covid hires for their “summit”, hope y’all have a good time.

Accepted an offer of employment with a mid-sized firm to begin in a couple of months. I’ve always wanted to shoot for big law but haven’t had the opportunity thus far. Overall, I accepted because I didn’t want to take the opportunity for granted in addition to the uncertainty with hiring due to covid. Would it be an issue to shoot for a big law opportunity in the interim? I know how this looks and sounds, so I definitely don’t want to set a precedent that I deal in bad faith.

been in downward spiral since COVID, struggling with being alone, loved the travel, teams. got depressed and angry. Dreaded work. In the process got to drinking 4 up to 15 drinks most days. Gained weight. Didn’t care about living. Have tried to stop over and over. Last week I woke up with a bloody nose and for the first time cared. I don’t know what changed. I am 7 days sober and I am starting to feel like the me I remember! I am proud! I am thankful! I just needed to share!

Ringing that bell tomorrow. No hate to my firm, but we have a kid during covid and it’s hard to work two jobs and be a daycare provider. Plus, no job makes me as whole as being a father.

Old employer arranged a WFH contract deal where my contract is on par with my current pay. Have to pay both sides of FICA taxes, but I control my time and know I can be there for my wife and kid when needed. Keep grindin’ y’all! ✌🏽

Celebrating our 10 year dating anniversary with my fiancé next month. Any ideas on romantic ways to spend it? Don’t want anything outdoors or in restaurants due to COVID. Based out of Chicago, also don’t feel comfortable planning a getaway. Gift ideas also appreciated, he already has all the gadgets you could think of! 🤔

How to address pay conversation where my manager has given me a heads up that pay will stay the same next year even though this is the best year I have had in terms of performance in a decade with the company? (and incentives were taken away as a blanket decision this year because of Covid)

Any good baby moon recommendations and the best time to go? Currently 12w based in Washington DC area and starting to plan. On the fence about flying right now with Covid numbers, but considering places where masks are still mandatory for air travel (I.e Germany, Portugal)

Do people take sick days for the flu? If so, how many? I am a new lateral to the firm (a month ish) so I’m a bit hesitant. But I feel so off… been having fatigue and nausea (tested negative for COVID)

any independent selling book of business in Oklahoma?

Is it normal to bloat on your period? I have weekly weight check-ins and I’m due to check my weight tomorrow am. However, the bloating makes me feel heavier and it feels I’m not going to be happy after seeing my weight tomorrow. 😞
