SF is chill and plenty to see within a pretty manageable area, but you will be stuck dealing with tech bros and homeless people shitting everywhere, so with that said, LA for the win

LA all the way. SF is cold right now.

Depends on what you're looking for. L.A. has great beaches, bars and lots of nightlife.

SF is nice if you're looking to just relax. Great wine tours, but not much to see other than FB headquarters lol. Also not much night life.

LA baby! Still warm enough to hit the beaches!

Following. Flying in and out of San Jose thanksgiving week - any recommendations for Whole of Cali?

LA has better weather, food, and social scene. SF has better culture and scenery (though OC is prettier than both IMO). How do you like spending your time?

I'd say food is a wash, Bay Area and LA just have different strengths but are both foodie heavens

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time

A parent of one of my students told admin she thinks it's irresponsible that I won't be grading over Christmas break.

Is it wrong that I'm sort of pissed off by this? Should I say something?
