I am confused - your point? They are Indian nationals and the article says she lost her job.

Here’s the deal, this one is on the Indian government; and it’s not a bad thing. The government put these measures in place to protect one of the largest and most vulnerable populations in the world. It’s unfortunate. I’ve read a lot of stories on this and it’s just awful, but until India opens its borders nothing can be done :(

I’m not surprised the Indian consulate ignored her pleas for help.

This is a challenge for a lot of folks who want to go back. Another post shared a link to a portal created by the Indian Embassy in DC that is trying to find out who has an urgent need to head home. May be they will open up a few commercial flights to support that.

Hi all. I am trying to determine if I am being compensated fairly. I am a tax manager (about to start my second year as manager) and have been with EY since staff 1. I was promoted to manager in June 2020 (during covid) and received a 7.5% raise. The class above me has mentioned they received much higher raises during their promotion years. My base salary is now approx. 97K. Any insights would be extremely helpful. Thanks!

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?
