My firm is planning to be back in the office sometime over the summer. I’m staying fully remote though.

My company,plans to revisit in August. Personally, ideally, never, moved a few states away and approved to work remotely post pandemic

I know that's not realistic, I've got a long career ahead of me, so we'll just see how long / what happens to remote opportunities in 3-5 years

Firm management told us at the end of March that offices will reopen on June 1st, and have not changed that date since. However, we’re not being forced to return and the details of what reopening would entail (masks, temperature checks, capacity limits, etc.) are still TBD. So if the reopening includes a lot of security theatre, we’re still free to WFH.

I’m wondering this too. We said by Labor Day weekend with 2-months notice.

We reopened the office for those who want to go in. I’ve been in - felt good to be back. I think it’ll be Sept before we’re back with any consistency/critical mass.

Question about fiber.

Last year, I was diagnosed with IBS following a few years of unexplained bloating, chronic upset stomach, and frequent bowel movement.

Because of the diagnosis, I’ve cut back on caffeine to only 1 cup of coffee per day about an hour after waking up before a workout.

Diet is relatively balanced. High protein so I take some enzyme with fiber supplement. Fiber seems to make the IBS bloating worse which on a daily basis is pretty irritating.

Any suggestions?

1) there were obvious favorites (coaches are not even hiding that fact);
2) some can’t even play and got on the team,
3) some that can obviously play but did not get on the team;
4) decision were obviously made before the first day was over.
