With weekly travel I fee like I don't know how I "fit" anymore with my friends group back in the city. Not included in the inside jokes from the week or latest chit chat.

It's saddening. Any advice?

You’re not missing anything. No one does anything during the week either. Just keep your group chats alive and it’s not any different

I was WFH for two years and learned that most people don’t do anything social during the week. People work all day, then go home to eat dinner and pass out watching Netflix. Or, my friends all went to the gym after work, then ate dinner and went to bed. We think we’re missing out and get FOMO, but trust me you’re not missing much

I think that’s you overthinking it. Just like I’m sure you’re not at every event together; you’ll miss some things but by no means are you out of the group. You can always ask a friend what they feel...

Party hard w them on Fri and Sat

You can't won't l win it all OP. As you move further into life you have to prioritize accordingly. Higher salary and travel perks vs missing out on weekday hangouts? GF/wife vs work/travel/friends? Kids vs wife/work/travel/friends? Etc.

Agree. Weekdays suck. Wait till you get older and everyone starts having babies. You won’t see people on weekends either !

My partner of 5 years ended our relationship last night. I’m shattered and feel absolutely sick, and I know the healing isn’t going to be easy. We were on the verge of an engagement and I was ready to spend the rest of my life with him.

I don’t know how to approach work during this time. I think I can get by, but I’m definitely not 100%. Should I talk to my boss about it? My team is close-knit and comfortable around each other, but I don’t know if it’s “appropriate.” What would you do?

Recruiting for a Corporate Strategy role (individual contributor) for a non-profit focused on the Accounting & Finance professions.

Role is fully remote (no travel), incredible WLB (seriously), and comp is $85-$110K (all base, no bonus), depending on experience, which for this role, we are targeting 2-6 years of consulting, strategy, or other similar experience. This should be considered a pre-MBA role.

DM me for additional details if interested. Thank you!

Boss has WFH for 9months. I have been WFH for 2-weeks for travel quarantine/state guidelines. She now requires that I go back to the office to “show face” that HR is right alongside the essential employees. I have been more productive from home vs the office. I get the perspective of team unity, but is it wrong to feel there is no reason to risk my health? The company justifies increasing my covid risk (high-risk already) to “show face”, when my job is being fulfilled while WFH. Am I crazy?

Hi all,

I just got a job with Delta airlines and I had an accomodation request to work remotely as I am Immunocompromised. I provided all the neccesary documents to back up my request and letters and documents from my Dr. aswell. My request was denied because the team said they wanted me to have face time and one on one interactions with people from other team (which defeats the purpose of my request) because I have to limit those interactions to reduce the risk of infection. What do I do?
