    Personally, I think if you're outside you're fine for the most part, even though this thing is much more contagious. And if there's an ass long line that snakes back and forth then F that S. Good luck with the roller coasters and bungee rides! Don't take a sea gull to the face, or kick any custodians in the head! Our speed will be more carousels, log flume maybe, and the games that require hitting a hammer to launch frogs onto lillypads, so on and so forth. Maybe get nuts and do the tennis ball cannon jawns with the submarines (I'm assuming this is still there).

    I don't think it's till you're about 17 or 18 years old that you grow a hatred for the boardwalk. I'm looking forward to that day. Until then it's overpriced prizes and Mack's pizza. Is Polish Water Ice still a thing?

    Yup - those kiddie rides and all we've done so much of that. As long as the kids have fun and get tired out then you get your drinking time later.

    I emailed our HR rep and told her the company should impose a vaccine mandate nationwide. They are mandating we return to the office and I know that we will be exposed to unvaccinated people there - so what we are supposed to just breathe in their delta variant and go back home to our under-12 vaccine ineligible kids?

    My company is requiring some employees to come in twice a week. I'm not one of them but I did go in today for the first time in a year and a half. Really strange day. Anyway--our VP told me, or made it seem, as if they might be going back to full time working from home if this thing continues to get worse.

     I absolutely love working from home anyway, so I'll be fine with that. But still...these unvaccinated dopes are literally ruining this country and they're too dumb/stubborn to realize it. We are in bad shape.

    I've been back in the office since the end of June on a 3 days in/2 days WFH schedule. It seems like the consensus of people at my job weren't going back until the mask mandate was lifted - which is what ended up happening. Now I wonder what'll happen next because it really doesn't make any fucking sense. I think the Fed needs to incentivize companies to be hard asses about requiring vax's and masks if these dipshits want to do this - e.g. send bonus money or tax breaks to companies that require vax's/mask mandates, and anyone in the company that doesn't do it needs to be incessantly tested and put in the basement.

    Our CEO tried to puff out his chest that we were moving forward, things were better, blah blah blah, and tried to direct that ultimately we'll be a 4-1 (office/WFH) company. Little did he know how the market would respond and now he's been walking it back because he has no choice. It is now part of the competitive packages to hire employees. So now it's basically up to the managers.

    It's not like our place is hemorrhaging employees, but we have a shit ton of openings and they doubled our referral bonuses. So if you know anyone looking for a job send their resume my way!

    What type of work?

    We remain full virtual, and will.  I am remote so it doesn't matter to me but an an Exec I will continue to vote for full remote.  In our business people do not need to be in the office.  We leased out our warehouse space so really aren't losing much by doing so and keeping our offices pretty much empty.

    Chubb Insurance. I'm in finance, so that would be my wheelhouse. But it's a big company that needs underwriters, claims, HR, legal, marketing, IT etc etc.

    Yeah we are looking too but I'm not mentioning my company's name on this public website.

    I did learn the company actually is discussing a vaccine mandate or something. I'm sure they would do it after tons of other companies did - they would not be an innovator.

    So we have an idea of one of many many companies you may work at, ah ha!

    Anyway, yeah, with everything going on I honestly don't give a shit if my work told me to hit the bricks tomorrow. It would surely suck in the short-term, but I'm kinda over all of it. Trying to find a pivot out of corporate work the sooner the better.

    I went looking for our company's jobs on indeed and literally could not find them. My boss is like "search for this search for that" - nothing. Such incompetence.

    Somehow the COVID outbreak that caused last night's Phillies game to be postponed was due to the other team.
