Protests scared coronavirus away!

I’m a first year transactional associate. I love tattoos, but so far have been getting mine in only places I can easily hide. I’m getting tired of that, though, and want to start moving onto my arms and lower legs (I’m a woman, and I do enjoy wearing dresses to the office especially in the spring and summer).

I don’t really face clients except on Zoom, and even post-Covid I don’t see that changing due to the nature of our meetings.

Would love to hear people’s thoughts.

Hey all! I want to learn swimming. Assuming it will only happen in the post covid era. Has anyone else had experience learning swimming in the city as an adult?

How strictly is everyone following the Covid prevention guidelines? Are you doing indoor dining?

Had a meeting today with leadership team where I got to know about layoffs at our company. They eliminated some excess roles and targeted "low performers" he assured me and my team is unaffected and there is no reason to be worried. But looking back, I went through this during peak covid time and still regret the decision that I didn't look for opportunities at that time.
Now, not sure to start looking as I hear layoff's at many firms and an expected recession around the corner. Any thoughts??

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?

Any new about layoffs at groupM and mediacom? Anyone one what % got laid off at wpp orgs during Covid?

Okay, it’s time to stop putting on a face about this. I love my boyfriend so much, but covid is ruining us. We are both still WFH and argue every few days about the dumbest stuff. My and his mental health are both diminishing and it feels like an impossible trench to dig out of. My stomach hurts every time we fight and I (independent of him) feel so stuck in this horrible global crisis. I don’t want to lose him, but I need to figure out how to dig us both out of this unsustainable mental state.

If you believed the CDC about the importance of wearing a mask and social distancing, then why do you not listen to them now?

Directly from CDC’s website:
-COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective.

-Millions of people in the United States have received COVID-19 vaccines under the most intense safety monitoring in U.S. history.

-CDC recommends you get a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible.

-Many people have reported only mild side effects after COVID-19 vaccination.

I tested positive on Friday for Covid. I have no symptoms- feel 100%. I can’t leave my studio apartment until Monday. Normally I run anywhere from 4-6 miles outside a day. Anyone have any suggestions on exercise classes that don’t require any equipment? Or just general ideas to keep moving?

Hi all- looking for some good advice. I am currently trying to secure a job for September. I’ve always wanted to go corporate (eventually transactional work although I am open to litigation). However, I do not have corporate experience. The only internship that would have gave me the same was cancelled in summer 2020 (Covid). I am willing to put in the work to succeed in the field. Just struggling trying to find a firm to give me a chance going from a family to business. Any thoughts?

Any covid cases in pune 4th floor? Bit nervous coz of some news floating in other bowls.

I’m in trading operations. I graduated during COVID and it has been my ultimate goal to become a trader. I know it’s insanely difficult to pivot from back office to trading but I would welcome any advice on making that transition.

My boss started harassing me because he found out I am vaccinated against covid. What does a vaccine have anything to do with marketing?

My sister works at a company that is so backward and toxic it scares me. They didn’t have Skype before the pandemic and now use Zoom. She’s trying to get a laptop to WFH with b/c the one that they issued her is from 2005 and is a nightmare to work with, but her boss wants to save money and get her a desktop instead of a laptop b/c they won’t be working from home after COVID. However, he has no problem ordering the newest equipment and WFH himself even before COVID. All I gotta say is toxic.

Anyone else with Covid-19 have lingering ear pain after 5 weeks?

Wife and I both lean right, her more than I. Both of us were skeptical of getting the Covid Vaccine. My job required it so I got it end of October. Well, my wife got Covid on 11/7 and on 11/14 she was hospitalized with pneumonia. Meanwhile I was taking care of her and our two kids under 4. They released her same day to fight it on her own. 87o2. She’s since recovered and I’m on day 8 of being positive. I’m overweight and asymptomatic. Seeing her fight to breathe just sitting up…

I got an offer from Big 4 firm for 85K at senior level. Is that what I should be expecting. Also my current firm keep telling me that the work will be too much and I won’t be able to handle it.

I’m finding that a weird side effect of losing my job in this climate is ad agencies taking advantage of my weakened position. They get in touch, proactively or in response to my reaching out, and they want to hire me as they are in good shape. When I reveal I was laid off, the offer changes to freelance or maybe nothing. My work, awards, the fact that they know me and approached me in the first place should be enough. I don’t want to lie about my situation. Any ideas how to avoid this?

Do you guys think it’s important to personally bond w your coworkers? a lot of members on my team are trying to organize a socially distanced day at the park because they « miss everyone so much » and while I genuinely like/appreciate them as people... this feels so extra? I definitely don’t feel the need to go out of my way and see the whole team during a pandemic? Am I horribly antisocial or do most people care this deeply for their coworkers/team
