just booked a combo corporate trip, vacation with my wife joining me.
I wish i could use Corporate travel to book the whole thing, but did it all on my personal cards and will deal with the reimbursement later.

Yes, for $33k I’d expect painting to completion.
And that’s a euphamism right?

I recently changed ISPs and my prior ISP refunded my $5 balance as a Visa gift card.

My company announced a RTO mandate for six months from now, 2-3 days a week. People leaders were given no advance notice and no feedback was solicited on it.
People are very upset and I don’t see this going well. They want to reduce headcount, and they’ll get that, but they’ll lose some of the best people and they simply do not GAF.

Frankly, the company will go on. And likely, the loss of staff won’t even be noticed.
When I worked at an insurer, people were leaving in droves. 300 person company and IIRC, like 5-10 people leaving a month. At one point the entire pension department from front line right up to management left - there were zero employees.
The company’s still around today, not even sure if all that turnover was even a blip. The only people it might impact are the current employees.
Of course they will, but for a company that loves to wax on about culture and values, they don’t really live those values. And of course they don’t, because it’s not real. But as a first line manager this has a very real impact on me and my ability to do my job and manage my team, and that I do care about very much. I was just required to take a course on change management by my company, and all of the worst practices highlighted there was how it was handled by my company.

Lol that’s so true. The company I was at that had this problem, same thing. Always on about culture and team. They were/are a mutual so one big happy family was the story.

Sweating on the elliptical and check my heart rate. Fitbit says 109, elliptical says 157. I think I know which to believe.
Jeepers, which one is it?
I couldn’t sustain 150+, and at closer to 100 I’m barely moving. Neither one would be realistic fore actively working out.
Actually, thanks for posting this…going down now to do some weights, will.see.what my HR is
Lol, it’s definitely not 109 if I’m sweating.

I get into the 170’s-180’s when I do cardio and always have, even when I was in great shape and ran cross country. It makes cardio very difficult to find enjoyable. Walking I get into the 130’s-150’s.
We also have some pushing for RTO (1 day/week mininum) but we just did an internal survey (they use these to kind of see how people are doing) and the results were pretty dreadful.
Change Management: very bad
Work-life balance: bad
Pay: bad
Do you see yourself working here in 1 year? Very bad.
The C-Suite is completely freaking out now.

I get into the 150+ but can’t sustain that for a workout. 139-145 is top of my range for longer workouts, though I try and drop down from that.
I usually have to wipe the sweat off my arm that accumulates underneath my fitbit for it to work correctly.

My company tried to make us come back into the office 3 days a week and no one did. After a few more months they just asked us to come in Tuesday and Thursday - the “core” days. Then the reminder emails stopped
I remember going back in the first day of RTO and being blown away that the actuaries were the only ones on the entire finance floor who came in! By the second week I was one of the few people in office
I didn’t come back after that
