Was at a BBQ yesterday. Friend went to the bathroom and then line was SO LONG. She was gone for like 45 minutes. When she came back and told me what happened she said, "This doesn't happen with virtual events."

I think she still does zoom events even though things are opening up. She wears 2 masks out despite being fully vaccinated.

I think some people really kind of enjoyed the pandemic on some level.

Or the pandemic was incredibly difficult for them and it’s not as simple as flipping a switch to go back to normal. Much like PTSD, some people will struggle with the rapid change back and will need a gradual easing

I really thought the punchline was going to be hooking up in the bathroom and you can't do that on Zoom

It was on a large public park and this was one of the few bathrooms on that side of it. She couldn't gone to a cafe or bar just outside the park but she didn't know she could do that

Why does it bother you so much that she takes these steps to protect herself if she’s not comfortable? Does she force you to do it too? Or shame you because you don’t? There is still a chance you can get covid and pass it on despite having the vaccine and maybe she is protecting others in her life who, for whatever reason, may still need to be protected. I still wear my mask despite being vaccinated because my wife is pregnant and is not getting the vaccine until she delivers. I couldn’t care less what people think about it because they won’t be there if I end up getting covid or if my wife or baby get sick. Maybe ask yourself why it bothers you so much.

Yeah I agree with OP here - I was also pretty frustrated that Trump politicized it instead of encouraging everybody to do what was necessary to beat it ASAP, and I'm not offended if people still choose to wear a mask, but I can't say I understand their behavior or motivations beyond a level of caution so far beyond the scientific recommendations that it doesn't make sense to me.

Again you do what works for you it's your business just don't ask me to get it just like I didn't "get" the woman who walked up to me in a car repair shop last week and started telling me how Fauci should be shot

I’m pregnant and have a 2 year old at home.
My fully vaccinated husband and I still wear masks everywhere we go and will continue to until we feel comfortable enough to not. I dk I think that if people are not comfortable not wearing a mask, it shouldn’t affect anyone but them.

like

Thing is you're married and pregnant with a 2 yeast old at home. This woman is single with no children and no roommates. Completely different circumstances...

I’m a little puzzled reading this post and comments. Some people are comfortable not wearing a mask when it’s not required, some people rather wearing a mask (presumably to be extra cautious). Why do we assume alternative motive, like being political or just being negatives. Wearing a mask is an effective way of preventing the spread of airborne diseases. Just because it’s no longer required under guidelines, it doesn’t make them weird or unreasonable for wearing a mask.

Switching from commission to salary!

I’m considering a less sales-oriented role that doesn’t pay commission. The new role will have a higher base but lower overall earning potential.

What % haircut should be expected? As an example, if I make 100k (base + commission) today, would it be realistic to ask for 90k (10% cut) + equity to make up the difference?

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
