Thoughts on how to approach the idea of flying out wed night instead of thurs to your SM to witness game 7 in Chicago?

I literally just looked into flights to take the red eye home tonight, work from home tomorrow and fly back to CA for meetings on Thursday.

I feel ya bruh! So sad am not gonna be there tomorrow! ☹️️

Me too, me too.

Are you paying the change fee or do you not have one? Do you have meetings Thursday? If no, then go.

I'd pay out of pocket / use points for the round trip. Sadly I committed to hosting a workshop on thurs / Friday. So cooler heads prevailed and I'm doing the responsible thing and watching 2000 miles away. But rest assured I'll be leaving early tomorrow and sitting at a bar during the game.

I've decided that my good luck charm is being where I was during the other key wins during the playoffs - 2k miles away. Based on the number of ppl in the hotel bar watching, I'll have plenty of company tomorrow.

My SM told me I could fly out today instead of tomorrow... But only if I bought World Series tickets and went to Cleveland 🤔

Hi all, I got laid off from my current company (product based) a month ago. Since then I've been looking for new opportunities. I got an offer from a good product based company with a good package and also my current company offering me rehire with promotion and a good package. I have a good rapport with my current manager, and he played a major role in offering this rehire opportunity. I'm confused about making the right decision here. Kindly share your views. Both offers are pretty much same.
