I have an opportunity to join an investment sales team specializing in office and industrial in a tier 1 city. I would normally jump at this, but the uncertainty around everything coronavirus makes me nervous about going commission based. How are the IS brokers out there doing?

There’s definitely a salary component, but yes the brokerages are culling bonuses and freezing hiring so I’m surprised there is a role to begin with. I’d say the industrial tilt will mitigate some of that, but you an anticipate activity to pick back up rapidly over the next few years. If it’s a decent base pay and the direction you want to head in your career, I’d say go for it

Nice, that’s reassuring. Thank you!

Can provide more details if needed, but if an employee is constantly coughing at work (small retail establishment), is it okay to ask them for a doctor's note stating they aren't contagious? They're claiming it's due to allergies, but I've gotten several confidential concerns from employees and customers alike due to the current enviornment.

I’ve been depressed for years now and this past week I lost a dog I’ve had for 15 years; he was one of the only bright spots in my life and I’ve just found it so hard to focus or motivate myself on anything after this. I genuinely feel like I’m at rock bottom, Idk if I’m crazy to feel that way bc of a dog but I used to be able to control this and put up a front but now my depression and anxiety are starting to leak into my work conversations completely unintentionally, I wish this would stop :(

I have been working remotely since covid getting nothing but positive reviews. My company is not remote friendly and is now telling me I have to return to the office or I lose my job. I just found out a co-worker had a remote position created for them, without a job posting, without an interview and without the experience required (normally a license or certification would be mandatory). I understand life isn’t fair but is there an ethical problem with this?
