I have to drive to Hunstville for a week this summer and then I have nothing to do for the week I’m there. May work a bit, may not. Thoughts on Lake Guntersville? Or a hotel or AirBnB somewhere? Love traveling alone, just know nothing about the area and most of the stuff I’ve found online is for families. I remember liking Guntersville as a kid but that was longer ago than I care to admit.

Boss has WFH for 9months. I have been WFH for 2-weeks for travel quarantine/state guidelines.

I get the perspective of team unity, but is it wrong to feel there is no reason to risk my health? The company justifies increasing my covid risk (high-risk already) to “show face”, when my job is being fulfilled while WFH. Am I crazy?

I had my PHR back in early 2000, then made a career change to a paramedic (I know, right). I called SHRM and they said I'm eligible to test again even though I only currently have 1.5 yrs of HR.

I purchased the online study guide and it seems that HR has gone in a completely different direction - more operations related than employee relations etc.

Did anyone find this online training to be helpful? I test in July, so any tips would be greatly appreciated!
