What’s going to happen to the people who are at a high risk for severe illness if they catch the coronavirus? Will they still make them travel? Should they look for new jobs that don’t require travel?

Consultant 1 -I don’t think I buy that the country’s psyche is permanently altered. Maybe on the east coast, but not in the country at large. I’m visiting family Texas right now and everything is operating as normal, nobody seems to care especially in touristy areas like Galveston. Things aren’t at full capacity yet but they will be as soon as they’re allowed, and people will definitely go. Back home in CO things aren’t back to normal yet but everybody except the most liberal or the immunocompromised wants them to go back that way. I think the only sector that will see medium to long term changes is travel and tourism.

They need to bring up and review this with their management and HR.

If you are severely immuno-compromised then this was always a risky role so better to exit.

Not true. I have an underlying issue. Impact on my life is minimal to often nonexistent. I’m not even regularly medicated for it or for anything else. Fit as a fiddle!

To say that i can’t work in an office or a job that requires travel is ridiculous. This virus is (hopefully) a once in a lifetime issue. And I’m so tired of people thinking it’s just “fatties and elderly” who are at risk. If you met me it would never cross your mind that I was at risk. If you knew anyone who was at risk you might also cut it out with the idea that your career is only for he fittest of the fit. (No overweight consultants allowed! Haha haha.)

I think firms will not make high risk people travel anytime in the foreseeable future

Let’s be real, a high percentage of consultants are overweight, which is a strongly associated with covid complications.

VP1 that’s true, and I wasn’t saying that there are no high risk people at my office. I was just responding directly to PwC’s comment regarding overweight consultants.

Just wanted to share this with people who would understand. Had 4 IEP meetings last week.

I told her not to worry, in our program I will have him for 2 more years. Boy that made me feel good.

Our baby is due soon so we’ve made the decision that we will only have visits from vaccinated family members (not realizing it would be an issue) only to find out that my Dad will never be getting vaccinated, planned to lie about it AND asked other family members lie to us about his vaccination status too… when we found out and asked him about it, he started to FREAK out. Now I’m questioning if we’re being unreasonable… how have you guys been handling unvaccinated people meeting your newborns??

I've just recently been hired as an assistant manager at a Canadian outlet store. It's a small company in comparison to others, but there are over 10 locations spanning western Canada and NW united states. I'm curious as to what others in a similar position are getting as salary. I was offered $42k plus bonuses at the interview, but when called back I was offered $44.5k plus bonuses. I already accepted. Did I leave money on the table here?

I want to be happy alone before I meet anyone new. Any tips or advice on how I can effectively accomplish this? Thank you!
