In your opinion, which Covid wave was the hardest to manage? For us, it was omicron. Things really went down the drain back then, we almost lost our business.

None, to be honest. We work remotely and while some of us got sick, it wasn't the entire team, so it allowed us to keep working as usual.

Omicron, I share the idea with you, if we talk about the company as such, Omicron was the worst because we were barely adapting to the disaster of the first waves and it took us with nothing in our warehouses.

Same. We never got the chance to recover before beep hit the fan again. It was rough.

Definitely Omicron as well. Our entire team got sick at all once and we lost out on a lot of business because we closed down for two weeks.

In my opinion, the third wave of Covid-19 has been the hardest to manage. With cases and deaths rising exponentially around the world, this wave has had a devastating impact on our business, we had to downsize significantly.

I think nothing worse than the first wave, we were not prepared and the failures were disastrous.

I am sure that in the first wave, most of the companies related to the health sector lost a lot of their inventory quickly, the replacement speed was not as expected and, of course, the most important thing was the human losses that we had.

That's a difficult question to answer. The initial lockdowns and wave weren't all that bad since we were still in a good position and had the room to make rapid changes as needed. With every wave after, things started getting messier and resources were depleted.

Is it sad that I want to take mental health leave desperately but am worried if I leave in the next month I’ll screw over my team who is already short staffed and has a huge case that’s going to trial at the end of the month? Has anyone taken leave and planned the start date for a few weeks out? Should I worry that I’ll be penalized or given the cold shoulder if I leave now or in the next 2 weeks?

Hello,

I am a 3rd year insurance defense attorney with product and premise liability experience. Due to long-COVID, I am likely to lose my job.

The plan is to find a government position that would involve more substantive litigation and trial work, then leverage that into the private sector a few years down the line.

Any advice would be appreciated regarding networking, where to start, etc. Thank you.

Asked for a LOA because I just got bad medical news and want time to process & find surgeons (I have to decide between staying in constant pain or being able to have kids one day). HR said it’s not a valid reason & I’ll lose my insurance at the end of the month if I take leave. They want me to use my 5 days of sick time & return to work after. I have an underlying autoimmune issue & need to save my sick days in case of a flare up. Ranting, but a reminder that companies don’t care about anyone
