If I am going anywhere for work (working for a company, not self employed), I would never pay out of pocket. Period.

Do it if you want to.
I can’t imagine a work conference that i would want to go to that badly, so I personally would stay home rather than pay for any part of attending a work event. But if you have friends going and know it’ll be fun and want to go, and it’s a fun location and you have the time and the money is negligible to you, then do what you want.

No never you should use the company $, if you’re high up enough (M or above) try to make a business case to leadership to cover it on the account you’re on

Just found out that my favorite aunt, who claimed I was her “favorite” niece, chose to leave all her valuables to her other two nieces who never visited or called her once in the last ten years. My aunt passed away suffering from cancer last year and didn’t have her own kids. I was there by her side throughout her battle. I still wish I had done more, made her life easier. I probably sound petty, but a part of me is forcing me to re-evaluate every interaction I ever had with her.

LinkedIn is a garbage app where I can’t even post my opinion or experience because it will go against the mainstream ideologies. If I even “like” a post then I worry that my peers and managers see what I like and suddenly I need inclusivity training. What a load of shit! You can’t be who you truly are on that app. Which is why I like fishbowl so much, the anonymity is a game changer. If LinkedIn was a anonymous, we’d see a lot more support for Kanye and a lot less LGBQT material. Bet!
