I’m thinking about moving to SoCal from NY during Covid. Don’t know anybody, but also fairly to NY (have some work friends). Really don’t want to resign lease here during the winter months, and the city is just not the same at all. How has SoCal been from a social perspective? Recommend I make the move and try it out?

I'm 32 y/o. I moved to Union City (East Bay) during COVID, and I struggle to make new friends. Any recommendations on channels/platforms/volunteer progroms to make new friends?

We only have 1 car in HH, and my SO usually needs it for his job, which is a big bummer in making new friends I need to take into consideration.

Got an offer to join EY Consulting->Digital and Emerging Practice as a Tech Consulting Manager(M2) for Philadelphia office recently . I have below queries ,would appreciate if I can have some feedback:

Is it truly a remote position since traveling is not happening currently due to COVID ?

Is it a group for generalist PM’s to manage tech projects and what kind of projects do they work on ?what is staffing for a project ?

TLDR: Getting over your ex of 2.5 years ghosting you after they said they wanted to reconnect.

I was dating someone for about 2.5 years and then we broke up because of COVID and the long distance was making it too difficult to continue. The break up must’ve been like a 4-5 minute FaceTime because I was very distraught. After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)

Did anyone receive a TCS Notification call regarding something about Covid and asked to press 1?

Is anyone changing their retirement plans based on COVID-19 realities and the future of work.

Hi Friends,
Me and my girlfriend both live in the same city, working from home, living with our respective families.

Before covid and wfh, we were in gurgaon and we used to go to each other's places to have some "private time"

It looks like a distant luxury now.
Any ideas of what can be done? Anyone facing a similar issue who got any resolution?

What was the coolest work related party/ event you have been at, pre/post Covid?

Covid sound off how did you firm handle COVID?

What’s up everyone!! How have y’all’s agencies been doing in COVID? Do you find your businesses have changed product mixes in the last year?

Looking for any and all ideas! I will be teaching in a Middle School Autism classroom. This is very different from what I did last year and will be even more so with COVID. I am trying to plan for my students each having their own work area. How are people planning to keep student materials separated by their own areas? What type of bins, shelves, containers are you planning to use?

Also if you have any other ideas for this year let me know! Thank you 😊

I gained over 25 pounds over lockdown, went for drinks with colleagues for the first time since March 2020, and the very next day I had other colleagues messaging me on teams and dropping remarks about how they are walking a lot these days to drop COVID weight. It might be a coincidence but probably not. Feels like my weight was discussed a lot behind my back as no one else in the group of people that went out had gained weight.

Is A&M still hiring at Director and Senior Director levels in PEPI practice? Any COVID related slowdowns?

We’re getting married next spring and trying to put together our website.
Many weddings we’re attending this year have some sort of Covid-disclaimer on them saying “please have a negative PCR test or be vaccinated beforehand” (paraphrasing), but it’s the honor system, no one is checking.
For 2022, is that type of language necessary? Vaccines will have been out 1 year. The state we are getting married won’t require it (southern state), it feels like it’s on the individual wedding to say (or not).

Does anyone know the criteria used to determine who is selected to be laid off due to COVID?

Over the last 12 months my role changed significantlu so in Jan I approached the CEO about a raise and promotion more in line with my work and he said yes - but not until until the end of Q1 when budgets are finalized. Covid hit and I was told all promotions and raises were put on hold. I never got a Q2 review bc my manager said the raise was up in the air still. But on Friday the CEO sent an email listing 17 promotions, not including me. Im meeting w my manager tomorrow but idk what to say.

It’s been two weeks since my final interview and no update. Does anyone know if all jobs were cancelled or postponed due to COVID this month of June
