I still see people traveling to places like Seattle and Portland with everything going on. Is it safe? Recently been to SF and it was not great.

Portland’s hella safe! Wildfires are done here so we’re back to having some of the best air in the world in terms of AQI, and honestly the protest/chaos is insanely overblown. Stay away from the 2 block by 2 block radius around the justice center building after like 9PM and you’ll have an awesome relaxing time! I feel SUPER safe, even having gone to many of the protests to check them out. And I live just a handful of blocks from the justice center

Also, as of a couple of weeks ago, Seattle and Portland were best and 2nd best in the country in terms of COVID :)

I live in Portland & a block away from the ICE building where there’s been some protests. It’s literally fine, the worst thing is they play music on loud speakers at night lol. Also for COVID, I’ve never seen anyone without a masks indoors and even walking outside most people wear them or will put theirs on when passing you on the sidewalk.

Desi folks - question on travelling outside US while you're on L1B visa. I have my valid visa stamp till 2022. Do any of you know if we can travel to India in Dec and come back in Jan? Or is it affected by the Trump executive order that was passed in Jun that said non-immigrant workers can't enter the country till Dec 31? Just wondering if I leave for holidays, will I not be allowed back. Any sort of clarification you might have is helpful. FYI - I was in US before that June ruling came out. Thx

A report opened to me that they are having money problems and wants a raise. We are remote and they moved to a high CoL city. We gave an increase to help with retention 6mths ago. In my response, I helped mentor with best practices on how to ask for a raise professionally since I need to make a case to my Head on finances. But their performance has been avg and not seemingly worthy of another large raise within a short period of time. But how do I respond when they talk about personal finances?
