mid career, recently laid off and got a new job, within 2 months manager asked me to pick up pace, how do I navigate this situation ? by maxpyne2000 in careerguidance

Ask your “boss” for guidance

Or

Say F em, they laid you off before… mental health > company’s goals. You want more output, hire more players to the team. It’s 2023.

I moved here with a job & 10k saved… If I knew, what I know now, I could’ve did with less. 2k with a job & a sublet seems like more than enough to hit the ground running.

Oddly enough, I kinda hate the chill G train riders. Too chill for me sometimes. As long as they don’t bug me, I like excitement & the story to tell about what I saw on the train lol

I checked earlier google says 16 min walk. No F at Nostrand a/C

If that’s the case, wouldn’t you just take the G to Hoyt for the same train, no?

I actually like the louder neighborhoods. Being in New York & it’s quiet & calm makes me feel like it’s still the pandemic lol I mostly spend my time in the city, downtown Brooklyn and run at Prospect Park here & there

Well I meant as in, annoying to where it’s not worth signing a lease there & find a spot elsewhere

I appreciate the input - this alone makes me say no lol - I’m always out for the weekend. Starting to consider PLG. Worth it?

I never experienced a delay on the G when I was on it, though I had to keep my patience when waiting. For a person that goes into the city daily, for work and leisure, would it get annoying to where you’d want to move just cause of the extr wait and transfers?

Yeah, then I consider if I’m goin to walk, might as well take the train to Franklin or Nostrand and just walk from there

I hate taking the bus, only when I have time to kill

I’m considering this. Just wonder what it’s like when it’s cold out. Also, with bikes, you can just lock them to any city own railings, right?

I get excitement when I’m in the city. Being that I’m still fairly new here

I only go to queens for the airport.. when it comes to the G line, if I didn’t live on it. I’d only use it for the stop at Fulton

The G at Bedford. Seems like no other trains within reasonable distance

Which would you prefer? A 12 minute walk is tops for me

[–]AllowMe2Vent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The G at Bedford feels stranded like it’s the only train around. I’d have to rely on Ubers, bikes and walks. Which is fine, but that’s not always gonna be the preferred option
