I think half my company (corporate) spent a good chunk of time online shopping today during the day. I think people should feel free to do a few small personal things like that during the work day and not have to hide it. Does your boss or company care if you step away for a few minutes to take care of things?

Take care of some things? No.

Not working the majority of the time? Yes.

No, if they do then you need to switch jobs

Not at all.

I’m in the throes of family issues with my parents. Should be in AL but refuse and I end up on a plane randomly. My VP doesn’t care one bit that I have to take care of things. All my work is done.

I’m not paid by the hour. I’m paid for my bandwidth to handle problems.

Chrono24 seems to have couple years older ones for around 8-10k in very good/with papers, so not sure if I should keep shopping around

What are the work hours?
Does Disney pay for relocation for new hires like some of the FAANG companies do?

A director in another unit wants to meet me to “continue a conversation we started last year”. He is referring to the time I had asked him if there were openings on his team. That was over a year ago. I am not too happy where I am right now ( I stayed where I was). I also don’t know if he really has an opportunity or if this is just some corporate circle jerk where my current director is trying to “smoke me out”. I don’t speak poorly of my team/work. How would you approach this conversation?
