It’s better now when the sun sets at like 7 pm. The winter is awful when it goes back and the sun sets before 5 feels like Stone Age

Personally, I don't care. I can use the evening daylight a lot more than early.

I’m all for permanent DST in the USA. And/or states choosing to align to a standard timezone (i.e. Colorado could elect to be Pacific time even if Utah wants to remain Mountain standard).

Permanent DST would be great. I don’t think I’m for the standard timezone. I’d hate having to check which states are which timezone when traveling etc.

So I read something yesterday that there was a time when they tried to implement DST year-round because people wanted more daylight in the evenings, but there was an increase in auto accidents (specifically children being hit) from trying to get to school and work in the dark.

Apparently it was so unpopular it only lasted one year and then they went back to DST. But we don’t bother learning from history here so let’s give it another shot.

I work in the EU with global teams across the globe, DST is just another freaking hurdle when coordinating multi-time zone meetings. Either make it an international standard or flush it.

How so?

Maybe don't stay at one or the other but split the difference 30 minutes

like

Yes, I've often felt that as well re: splitting the difference to the half hour.
Or move the switch to a Friday night - if the majority of the time change accidents happen on the Monday after, then maybe they'd instead happen on the Sunday when there are fewer people on the roads.
I suspect people's thoughts on DST versus Standard time also have to do with where they live in their time zone in terms of both latitude and longitude. So not easy to please everyone/anyone lol

Pivoting away from Sales: I’ve been in sales positions for 15 years, and I’m just exhausted by the role (disputing commissions, arguing about deals, all of it). I have a degree in marketing, but I am having a hard time landing interviews since I’ve never had a strictly marketing only role. Can anyone provide any advice, or has anyone successfully moved away from sales?

I started my new job completely remotely in June and when we go back to the office, it would be a 1.2 hour, 40-mile one way commute.. Would it be entitled of me to ask to come into the office 3x/week since by the time that we return to the office, I’ve already proven that I can work efficiently from home? I feel like it’s a much more sustainable option.

Seems that the vaccine that usually takes more than 10 years to develop, test for side effects and go through the regulation process is being very fast tracked to roll out - which is a super great thing to potentially eradicate the virus. on the other side of the spectrum, people with life sciences n healthcare insights, how reliable and safe would you say vaccine (being fast tracked) is...?

Every time I speak to my director (at least twice a week), he works in how he is getting older into the conversation(humorously). For instance, he forgot something non-work related, said “sign of old age”. He recently told a story, said, this is how old people talk. He likes to come across as a grandfatherly figure, but I’m not sure what to say in these encounters. It is always an innocent, non work related context. Have you guys experienced this ? What is an appropriate response ?
