i really can’t believe some people/companies think that having their office back open 5 days a week, full capacity starting this summer is a good idea. just because people will be getting vaccinated doesn’t mean the virus will go away overnight. capitalism really wants people to suffer.

Our office (NYC) has made it very clear we aren’t returning until after summer, and that it will be hybrid going forward. I think most companies will be hybrid going forward as well

I think there are plenty of people/company leaders who never wanted to shut down at all and so they are leaping at the first chance to return. These are the “it’s time to get back to normal” people who have never worn a mask over their nose and took vacations this year and said this was all overhyped and that the rest of us are sheep. We had a president who gave them more than full cover for those ideas and in many states their local leaders are on board with that as well- Pandering to the least educated and trolling for votes among the riled up toxic masculinity set.
And so, don’t just blame the company president, blame the governor of your state for making reopening possible and blame the maga peeps for arguing agains reasonable precautions every step of the way.
( liberal/science believing state: offices here have to be fully masked with special cleaning and other OSHA-like compliance rules and workers must be 6’ apart. So return is not happening on a large scale.)

I really want to go back as soon as I can because I am going stir crazy, but it should be totally optional for some time. Right now I think there is a booking system for anything truly office essential although the office is closed, so hopefully that can continue when it’s open.

I don’t trust companies to do the right thing at all. We could have shut down offices before the official mandate last year, but we chose to “follow guidelines” which always means the barest minimum legally possible.

Hello fellow SAP Consultants!
I am SAP HCM consultant having 4.10 years of experience. I feel that this module doesn’t have any growth. My first switch took me to 9LPA from 6LPA and now the second switch is being offered for 11.5LPA where I can see my fellow friends in SAP having more than 15LPA at the same experience on their second switch itself. Should I be worried about my skillset? Any insights would highly be appreciated. I feel stuck.

Hi everyone, wanted to come back and talk about the work environment at the Washington Redskins/Football Club -- the Washington Post story was pretty jaw dropping. One troubling angle was the use of NDAs to stifle victims. NDAs have for too long enabled bad behavior to continue, and it's time companies pledged to stop using NDAs in settlements with victims -- the coverup is worse than the bad acts. I think Warren torpedoed Bloomberg's campaign due to his use of NDAs. Thoughts?

Just wondering if anyone faces the challenges.
