Agreed. We learned a lot these past 10 days though, and our friends need our support.

Agreed. But this is good for us as a country. We are finally seeing the issues black people have been dealing with for decades, and it is being brought home by friends and colleagues (to the point where even Republicans are talking police reform). This is a good thing. It may have not been our generation that started this mess but we’ve been eating the fruit from a rotten tree. Now maybe we can do something about it.

To be clear, I am a black woman. Fear of police brutality and hate crimes have always been my reality. I've fought for protection of my life through protests and and trying to educate others. But the fact that this country has quadrupled down on its hatred for my skin color, to the point that I can't escape any mention of it lately, can't suppress my anxiety with work, is especially painful. I just want a break from being reminded of it all the time.

I feel you OP. Also a black woman and was just saying to my husband that I missed when we were talking about Tiger King and playing the hunger games for a Fresh Direct delivery window. Now I feel like I just rage and feel sad all the time.

I am leaving the classroom.

I don't want to manage so many humans at one time, anymore. I'm considering working remote to be able to travel more easily and figure out where I want to live and what I want.

Is there anyone who has left the classroom or the education field? What jobs were you able to transition into?

Curious if anyone has started doing in-person meet-ups. For eng/product/design I feel that it would be good to do occasional in-person “offsites” at the office or a wework for collaboration sessions, or just to work together every once in awhile. Has anyone started doing this? Since people are remote and spread out across the US, it needs to have justification but how do you justify “face time”/“collabs” - should it be tied to very specific projects?

I accepted a role in New York City but my direct manager said I can work from home in Boston instead. My understanding is that I would be paying NY taxes, but not MA taxes. Can anyone here confirm? Also, would my employer have to incur any additional taxation because I am remote? They’re a really small firm and I worry that this sort of thing could be prohibitive for them despite my manager’s approval.
