I'd just work from my hotel or the nearest McKinsey office

Just get a drink and chill at hotel

I'm forced to sit here and wait. Worst thing is I was asked to come a day early and change to earlier flights. Ironic how this is the end result bc client feels "overcome" by people

Sometimes it just depends on the clients mood or who he/she chooses to bring in with them on the client side.

I'd at least wait at the hotel

hahaha this is something you should bring up!?

Hi everyone!
I currently work for Graybar Electric as a Project Specialist. Over the past few months, I’ve been training some of the new employees and it’s really inspired me to want to move into a operations training and development or a leadership position. Unfortunately, there isn’t a lot of room for growth where I’m at. I’m hoping to make new connections and see where this new endeavor takes me, if anyone would be so kind as to refer me. Here’s a picture of our family dog for some likes ❤️

Hi team ,

I have started working from jul2019 and I have filed my tax return for 2020 and 2021 tax years.


However I note that there was withholding of some amount in 2017-2018 and 2019 tax years ( withholding from comission received from insurance commission from lic and United india)

I have not filed 2017, 2018, 2019 return as my total income was less than threshold

Is it possible to file return for 2017 , 2018, 2019( all r in refund) now without paying any penalty?
