1) the gamestop thing is a pointing to a bigger and deeper problem that just got exposed than most may think

2) covid 19 and new variants, continued uncertainty of new vaccine utility on new variants

3) did Deloitte just expose the essentially fraudulent nature of our entire industry to the world?

4) Conspiracy theorists, radicalized people, extremists

80% chance social distancing ends in the back half of the year in the US, UK, and Canada. EU will take ~weeks longer due to a worse vaccine rollout. Variants (B.1.351 and others) will partially evade vaccines and SARS-CoV-2 will become fully endemic. However, vaccines and past infections will be good at preventing severe disease nonetheless, especially through CD8 T cells. The virus fades into a cold. Some weirdness around international travel persists (though not in the form of vaccine passports).

20% chance variants start to cut into vaccine effectiveness in preventing severe diseases. And then we’re fucked and I have no good solution; this is a borderline apocalyptic situation. NOTE: There is NO EVIDENCE yet that this will happened. Even with B.1.351 (South African variant), the vaccines are EXCELLENT at preventing severe disease, hospitalization, and death.

I have no in-between scenario.

But betting that it’s the second option is essentially betting that this is the first respiratory virus pandemic _ever in human history_ that can’t end itself through the immune system being primed. I’m not willing to bet that that’s what’s going to happen.

That the news will consistently report on some new virus variant or something that might cause us to go back into lockdown and keep everyone living in fear.

Above all else, perhaps just a tad bit of normalcy back to society? That’s an event in of itself.

Just signed a year lease outside of my office city, hoping we don’t go back to normal in 2021 to be honest, too much anxiety and stress waiting to go back in 2020, feel like I just got my life back on track

COVID variant sets us back by another year into regional lockdowns.

I’m 51 years old. For many reasons that would make this post too long, I’ve had a very slow profesional growth.

How do I look for job opportunities where I can find more people of my same age group? I don’t want to be the only old person in my creative group. Should I be looking in-house? Pharma? Any ideas are welcome.

Our annual reviews are approaching & one of my direct reports has been with us for almost six years w/ little growth. My reco was to let him go & find a stronger, hungrier & more motivated designer at the same level. However, my boss instead wants us to promote him in hopes that will spark some motivation. I am not behind this decision & have voiced my multitude of concerns in promoting an employee who doesn't deserve it. HR is behind the decision! Thoughts on promoting an undeserving report?
