President Donald Trump really wanted a made-for-TV moment when he left the hospital. While he was at Walter Reed getting treated for COVID-19, the president pushed the idea of looking weak and frail when he left the hospital only to rip open his button-down shirt and reveal a Superman t-shirt underneath, according to the New York Times.

With the new one executive order on US visas, trying to read through the fine print to see the impact to existing visa holders. I flew home to Ireland as both my parents were sick (both since recovered a couple months later thankfully). Now waiting for Covid travel restrictions to be lifted so I can return. Reading conflicting updates from multiple sources, can anyone provide guidance? (I have L1-B Visa since last year).

Seeking immigration / travel advise. I know we are not lawyers but any experiences / stories would be helpful.

Can I enter the US when I have H1B change of employer petition approved but employed with my current company and serving notice period? Which company’s I-797 form do I show immigration? Do I tell them about switching jobs, etc.?

My new company lawyers are not providing clear guidance on this and suggesting against travel due to COVID in general. Thank you.

Anyone familiar with Covid Supplemental Paid Sick Leave in CA? Does having planned time off nullify a full time employee’s ability to use the C19 sick leave if they become sick just prior to the planned time off? (I’ve only been able to find references to eligibility being based off of hours work preceding C19 sick leave - nothing about planned time off)

As many of us navigate the challenges of negotiating during Covid layoffs, my question is what do you think is a good, fair and realistic salary for an independent agency to offer a Creative Director with 10+ years of experience in metro Detroit, considering the current economic climate?

Does anyone have intel on signing bonus amounts (apart from Covid and year-end) for mid-level litigation associates? The move would be to a V10 firm. Thanks!

Random, last-minute request.

Dallas is hosting “America's Outstanding Teen National Competition” (Miss America-Affiliated) this week and they are looking for one CPA to volunteer/support for 1-2 hours a day (Tues-Fri). Their CPA had to back out today with Covid.

If you or someone you know would be interested in volunteering, I can connect you with the organizers. Good opportunity to give back/support a good cause.

Are other agencies on promotion freezes due to Covid19? Our company has cancelled this quarter's promotion run (we can only get promoted in April or October each year).

What is the work from home policy of Atos, will it be too rigid post covid???

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?

Hi, I did interview with amazon.

Round 1: HR round. cleared.

Round 2: Hiring manager round. Went well.

After 2 weeks they said Role no longer available. It was L5 supply chain role. This happened in April. Can I apply again in Amazon? I joined a company 3 months ago, does it look bad in CV to leave again in 3 months? I hv a 6 month gap in career in 2019 due to lay off (covid). total exp 9 yrs. SCM exp 6 yrs.

Haven’t seen bf in over 3 months due to COVID. Lately, he’s been pushing to see me but I don’t feel comfortable because he hasn’t been quarantining. He makes it sound like if I’m not willing to go see him might as well breakup. Any advice?

For the Protiviti fishes, were you onsight before Covid? I keep seeing jobs that say the roles with Protiviti are hybrid. Do you think the company will eventually move away from remote? A recruiter reached out to me but couldn't answer my question about remote now or in the near future. It was very vague.

Is Covid finally becoming endemic? Most Omicron cases (according to my ER wife nurse) are very mild, and not worth the hospital visit. How will/should this impact us as educators?

Are firm offices in LA closed due to COVID? Or are associates able to voluntarily go in?

I have an H1b which I received in 2019 and was valid till august2021, due to covid I wasn't able to travel and then I switched to another firm last year in November. If I get visa transfer, will it provide me a validity back as I haven't used any on site time on that visa.

TIA

COVID-19... Curious what LA BigLaw thinks about the possibility of Diploma Privilege or a postponed bar exam here in CA? NY decided to postpone despite significant potential consequences (see thread)

Anyone know where to get free covid testing near west loop with fast turnaround time for results?

History is repeating itself:

9/11 - hatred towards Muslims
COVID19 - hatred towards Asians
Russia's invasion- hatred towards Russians

Please stop the hatred/avoidance towards your neighbors! They are NOT the problem! Unless they are a government officials they can't stop the problem! Please be kind to your neighbors and ask them how their day is going instead.

There has to be a point where focusing on minute details generates diminishing marginal returns.

Looking to get some feedback on this investment strategy: Contribute 100% of the allowed limit in ESPP program(15% of base) to get full company match(15% of my contribution). Sell it on the same day it vests(vests starting of every month) and then invest that money in vgt and voo. I understand the short term tax implications but still feels it is better to invest in etf than in company’s stocks. Thoughts?

What investment shops are hiring in Austin?

This guy has been a pleasant surprise. I had him pegged as just another far-right Okie loon, but he's been low-key and diligent despite his boss being a childlike buffoon who thinks he can snap his fingers, create a Space Force, and put men on Mars.

All you first person shooter players should feel good today. Prosecutors hopefully have gotten the message that bringing ones call of duty playing into a murder trial is incredibly ridiculous.

I see Trump has gone with the “If I talk louder I must be right” strategy

[SERIOUS] Trump supporters, what does American “greatness” look like to you? Specifically, when POTUS says he wants to MAGA, what does “again” look like?

Do you think commuting a federal felony would count as a "high crime or misdemeanor”? Why or why not?

Random and genuine question for Trump Supporters; if you were alive during the civil rights era, do you believe you would be on the correct side of history?

Keep in mind the civil rights movement was way less popular than BLM.

You Trump supporters just be posting to post. You don’t have no essence or substance to your viewpoints. You just be talking out of your rear ends. Then you all just lie and accept it. When someone else may lie or do something wrong the world on fire. You all point of view is so slavish. All you want to do keep American the same: to be unfair to a large portion of the population.
Now I get it, I basically just describe Trump, that’s why you all are Trump supporters. You all are one in the same.

Am I missing something, why would asking about citizenship on the census not make sense? Guess I never knew what questions where asked but would have thought citizenship would have been one of the 1st
