I hope people can set aside the political views and fight this emergency together.

Two reasons:

1. Geography Matters - The areas impacted so far are much bluer than the rest of the country - King County WA (aka Seattle plus Microsoft) has more deaths than any other county in the nation and it is pretty dark blue
2. Republicans are more skeptical of the news since about 75 to 80 percent of journalists are left of center - based on their own self identification (even polls of Fox News employees show that more than 50 percent voted for Democrats)

So a little thought is in order before just calling people names

Reality has a well-known liberal bias, so not surprised at the reporter figure. Hell, not using essential oils, or wanting to vaccinate your kids makes you left of center these days.

Hello, I am in USI GES tax at DUSI. I love my job but not my team and mgmt anymore. I'm a performer and I'm dumped with work of 2 ppl while others are searching for work. I am burned out.

I resigned and accepted a job with EY GDS with a huge pay bump that DUSI can't match but I also gave up my potential promotion for 2023.

I've been feeling bad about putting my papers down and letting go off my promotion but I am really tired. I took up this job as an escape.

Did i do the right thing?
