I was recently having some issues that I would go to the obgyn for and I am due for my Pap this year so I tried to schedule an appointment with my obgyn and both then and my pcp said that all in person exams needs to wait indefinitely or go to the emergency room. And the local urgent care won’t do it b/c of covid, even tho the city has like no cases. I am honestly so appalled by this. How many people aren’t going to get health care when they need it because of this nonsense!?

I’m a 2nd year associate and I’ve been working at the same firm since I started. In a nutshell, I love the work (the practice area) but not the people very much (it’s just not a fit). I’ve been thinking of leaving for some time. I have an opening at another law firm, but my practice area would be different. Should I just wait for another opening in my area of preference? With Covid, openings are rare for entry level associates ...

I have been WFH ever since Covid hit. Which I love! ( I do miss the social part of it tho). But I feel ever since then, I became SUPER lazy. (Not with my work) I live in NYC. When I needed to go to the office, I would wake up at 5am, go to the gym, take the train, go to work, come home, cook, spend time with my daughter and help with HW and spend time with my husband. Do it all over the next day. Now my energy is SUPER low. Stopped working out too. Anyone here could share their WFH Routine?

COVID halted living out of suite case and allowed dinner at home with family. Discovering what my life should have been. With rapid vaccination, I cringe at the thought of meaningless nights on the road again. Since I am older (and wiser, hopefully), see how things unfold and probably make a different choice (than did as a younger person).

Has anyone noticed a shift in intern-personal skills with your teams the last few weeks? I feel like I’m mediating elementary school playground squabbles of late. People using harsh tones, people taking offensive to said tones .. people escalating because they don’t like the harsh tones or being accused of using harsh tones. When did harsh become normal? Is it the weather? COVID fatigue? I swear there isn’t enough wine some nights!

I am bored out of my ever loving mind. No heavy incentive to look for work just yet due to COVID in my area + I’m not really sure what position to even look for since I don’t want to go back into PA. You can only scroll through social media and news so many hours of the day. I’ve cleaned. I’ve FT dated. I’ve read. And read. And read. I’ve done the self makeover/reflection thing. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I have a contingent offer after being laid off in spring due to COVID. Since then the job market has obviously been tough, so a few buddies and I started a start up that has done very well, but we haven’t filed for LLC status yet (keeps pushing back). We have ~10 guys working on various areas. I just received an offer back in my usual industry, and have been truthful in my experiences. Will they ding me in a background check since there’s no 1099 to prove formal employment? FYI I have references
