Haha, holiday?
Do you know what does that term mean to Indians? They'll start booking tickets.

I think 'Lockdown' should be appropriate term for what you were trying to convey.

I agree with you

It’s a tricky situation to be in.

If you shut the country - many people (especially the daily wages workers) will lose their source of income, and with extended lockdowns they will eventually perish due to lack of funds. There are more daily wages workers than you think in India.

Yes it will help curb the spread of the virus, but it will take lives in the form of starvation

I agree with PEA1, it will only effect daily wage workers... And if you are thinking you with get an off then forget it... WFH is a blessing as well as curse... Even whole india goes to lockdown you n me and like us will still be working.

Hey everyone, would 12/23 afternoon not a bad time for holiday travels? Booking for a flight for my parents from overseas to LAX ,trying to avoid crazy busy afternoon.

How fair is it for the firms to pay different salaries for the same work in different countries? or lower salaries to employees from the developing nations even though they might be working directly with the client or leading projects?
Cost of living is definitely one factor but how would you counter when a Consultant from Mexico and a Consultant from US want to go on a vacation to UK?
