J'inaugure le bowl avec une question covid : quelles sont les politiques de vos entreprises en terme de retour au travail? BCG propose deux jours par semaine mais le teletravail reste recommandé.

Maybe this is the socialist in me but shouldn’t Moderna and Pfizer waive their patent exclusivity for their Covid vaccines? Don’t we have a moral obligation for the world to vaccinate as many people as quickly as possible?

It blows my mind that many countries won’t be able to vaccinate most of their people until 2023. There should be access to vaccine generics

NYC based. I feel like as soon as Covid restrictions loosened up, it turned summer & now it’s way too hot to do anything outside. I don’t enjoy parks, botanical gardens, & outdoor dining in sweltering sun & humidity. Anyone else in the same boat and have suggestions of alternative things to do (inside or outside the house)?

Anyone else dread their physical after falling off the fitness wagon during covid? My last physical I was around 170lbs and could run a 210lbs 5K… now 215lbs and terribly out of shape. Also drink whiskey every day. Maybe this visit will help me get my shit together.

Anyone currently enrolled in an EMBA currently affected by COVID-19?

UK associate here. Do you get your trainee a christmas gift?! I’ve only had trainees since covid so this will be my first christmas with a trainee where we’re not working remotely. I feel like it would be weird but what do people think? And what if he gets me one?

I am so over the politics of an agency. I knew it was bad but didn’t expect it to be this bad when I signed up to be an SVP. Exacerbated by covid. Anyone else?

Still looking for work 2 1/2 years later. I was laid off when Covid hit as a Director of food and beverage in West Hollywood /Beverly Hills, relocated to Omaha Nebraska with the same organization to open a property. Laid off after the opening. I’ve been doing Task Force work since. Looking at vice president or Director roles hotels/restaurant companies! I have applied everywhere, nothing but ghosting treated disrespectfully, offered horrible salaries or told positions on hold. Need a Job

Is it concerning if a recruiter is dancing around giving you an offer? or is it just busy bc of Q4, coordinating teams, start dates, and covid?

Anyone nervous about the coronavirus and/or if companies are letting people WFH/any policies in place to request doing so?

I started dating this guy some months before covid struck.. he was literally crazy about me. He even stayed in Hyderabad for months just so that we could meet once before he went on to stay with his family. After that it had been a real roller coaster. He pampered me a lot before and now he hardly talks. We both have switched to different companies (earlier were in the same) and now he works 6 days a week. Sleeps or Vists his relatives or works on Sundays. Sometimes I feel he no longer loves me.

Has anyone managed to NOT catch covid throughout all of this?

How to handle the dual employment in BGV? I have a friend who have a overlap of 30-40 days from his last organization which is not disclosed in CV and with current organization. I feel UAN check will spoil it but his overlap is cuz he wasn't able to return assets back during COVID. Any suggestions?

Anyone have good alternatives to the integer card game for 7th grade? With Covid I don't think I can use the cards

Recently finished a simple assignment that took forever because my cd and I weren’t aligned. He had me stray from the brief and now part if it is inconsistent with the greater piece. I just feel we’re not on the same wavelength. Which I hate because I live for collaboration and being a team player. And I joined this team at the beginning of the Covid WFH orders in March so I’ve only met him like once before. So not a tight relationship. I gotta talk to him about it. Any advice?

I’m so jealous of anyone who has gotten and recovered from COVID without any lasting damage. It’s like having a super power right now.

Any parents here? How did you originally explain the Covid pandemic to your children?

In NYC, which agencies have been told to work from home so far for COVID-19?

25 M California. Moved to the States in 2017. I can't get rejected by women in person anymore (covid19) so I figured I would post here instead🙃

I am on the fence as to whether to fire my nanny. I met her through a fb moms group rec in my nassau county town. She's 44, from grenada and lively & energetic with my now 1 yo (which I wanted). she's been with us for 4 mos. we've been staying w/ my wonderful parents since covid & my mom does all the cooking and cleaning for the baby (and my toddler) as I work at a v10, my husband works nonstop, and we are exhausted. we are moving to a new house beginning of the yr. she's great w/the baby BUT--

For those that are more “stuck” in your current public accounting role, whether due to it being difficult to switch jobs for personal reasons or visa considerations, how do you best cope when you’re frustrated by being understaffed / overworked or difficult coworkers and it not being feasible to look for other job opportunities? Looking for some mindset shifts and how to be more positive

Hi, I am an expat living in France and working as an IT consultant. I got an experience here that recruiters insist on disclosing my current salary. Is it a norm in France? Do you reply how much you earn? To me it seems absolutely inappropriate and irrelevant. I can respond what are my future salary expectations. I refuse to tell how much I make now, and then recruiters say that they can't proceed with my application without this information. WDYT?
