Where are you traveling to?? The virus is getting worse. I’m surprised any company (either yours or the client) has lifted travel restrictions.

Guys, I don't want to make this a debate about whether or not we should all be traveling and mask/no mask nonsense. I personally do not feel comfortable traveling but there is something unavoidable that has come up, so I'm going to take every precaution possible.

Apparently they're increasing help from the national guard to enforce restrictions. There might be different restrictions if you're traveling for work, so the same restrictions may not apply. Now you can get a Covid test before you arrive, and 3 days after you arrive to bypass the 14 day restrictions.

Honestly, I don't think they're really doing much about enforcing anything as I've had a different experience every single time.

Thanks C1 - I read about the new rules as well. Are you actually traveling every week?

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

I got a decent deal on a small 1 bed in a luxury building (hell’s kitc). Should I do a 12 month lease or 24m?

Got the rent negotiated to under 3k + free amenities for a year (gym, pool, etc.). I’m afraid rent will atleast go back to the original price (+5%) and then some. The building has some sort of rent control but that’s predicted to go away in less than 1 year as per the lease. The legal rent limit is way higher.

Would love some perspective on renewal experience after 1 year. TIA.
