I am an EY employee based in Chicago and putting in my notice next week. I know EY has moved to an unlimited vacation policy but given that I am in Illinois, am I entitled to any kind of payout? I also had a substantial amount accrued last year as of Dec31st. Any advice or guidance would be really appreciated from folks who recently left the firm and were based in Illinois. Thanks.

Anyone else worried about their office plants?

Do any real people actually want schools to reopen as it stands now? Im hearing so much about it but it feels like a weird disconnected political thing and not a live humans with kids thing.
*Obv the goal is to get covid under control so kids can go back safely, this is assuming infection rates stay steady or continue to climb

Are avis reservations with points a scam? Made a booking and then got charged 80$

I have an obsession in accumulating more and more plants.

Pineapple burn and passion fruit pump by ghost. Thank me later

What to do when parents dig their toes into your relationship? They don't approve of who I'm with and very vocal about it.

In 10 years, this may be in the rear view or they may not let up. Anyone with experience in this?

Looking for recs for an outdoor party spot this summer. 20ish people on a Sunday afternoon, chill vibe, not too loud, somewhere people can easily come and go. Best I’ve got so far is Kaiser Tiger or metropolitan tap room. Any others? Thanks!

Moved to the city about 6 months ago and I’ve been disappointed in my experience. I know the pandemic is playing a factor but I didn’t expect the winter days as gloomy as they’ve been. For those who have lived here for a while, is this normally what the winters are like? What do you do to keep things interesting when you can’t go outside? Last two months have made me consider moving but part of me feels like I won’t have given the city a fair shot

What are fun things to do for 2nd date in Chicago?

Anyone who plays badminton or squash casually here?

Has anyone successfully sold your gently used clothing for cash on the spot anywhere in Chicagoland? If yes, where? Have a lot of nice stuff that I’m bored of but Poshmark takes too much effort for me and I find consignment stores usually take months until anything sells and then getting your money is a pain. So looking for instant cash. TIA

Who should get my loyalty? United or American?

This job feels like it’s killing me slowly. Physically, spiritually, emotionally. Working to stay positive and opportunistic. Anyone willing to share solutions? I want to be productive and positive.

The Albertsons (Jewel) and Kroger (Mariano’s) merger would be terrible for Chicago. I doubt antitrust will allow them to retain all stores here. Maybe a player trying to enter the region will buy out those stores.

Could be a silly question — i am beginning to look for a new apartment in the city and ideally want to rent from private landlords rather than going thru Apartment People / @ Properties / Compass, etc. How do you find private landlords?! I have good credit and am very clean! A landlord would love me lol

Hi all, I’m considering a move to Chicago but am trying to understand costs of childcare. How much should I expect to spend for two kids (3 and 1 yr) in a daycare center?

I was supportive of Lori when this virus first started but her actions since have dwindled my support of her. I don’t expect her to make every decision correct nor do we have to agree with all of them. I believe she should be correct around 75 percent of the time but I believe she is in the 50 percent range. I know everything doesn’t fall on her shoulder but things haven’t been great as of late. Hopefully they figure out something soon.

Another looting happening now downtown Chicago. WTH is going on !!!
