Sounds like your boss is just being nice and trying not to waste your time. Say thanks, keep your notifications on, and enjoy!

Thank them. Tell them you’ll be contactable all day if needed. And ask if there are any department projects or things you could be thinking about. Or if you have an idea already talk to them and suggest you spend time thinking and progressing it while home.

Not a trap if you still get paid.

Need career advice. Trying to break into a finance role, preferably an Analsyt role but I have no transferable experience.

I know I can essentially get any sales job I want in finance IE: financial advisor etc. but don’t want to be stuck in sales forever. Any advice?

Does anyone else constantly get mistaken for a nurse? I get it, I'm 5'4 and Black and work in pediatrics, but the assumption and casual racism is kind of ridiculous when the actual nurse has just told you that the doctor's coming and then I walk in the door. Doesn't really help when I'm one of the only Black on-call physicians. Annoying.
