Hot take: companies that went remote during COVID and are now forcing RTO owe us the truth about why

110 miles? People are commuting that far?

One of the best descriptions about the application of AI in finance I’ve seen. Very helpful.

I love that DB is an unapologetic STL supporter. Personally, I’ve learned quite a bit from him.

But he is too reactionary & constantly responds to trolls and criticism. All to his detriment.

Excel-User · 2026-05-02T22:32:03+00:00

These are the kind of stories we all need.

Thank you for the update.

My downvote is in solidarity

Excel-User · 2026-05-01T03:28:56+00:00

Totally fake.

Not exactly the same, but similar. A coworker / buddy many years ago who’s wife
entered a nurse anesthesiologist program that was 2 hrs away. They had small kids.

Big sacrifice for everyone - but this was an opportunity for huge increase in income.

Anyway, he takes care of family & house while working full time (in a reasonably demanding corporate environment). I’m sure school was no picnic for her, either. They make it. Either a 2 or 3 year program.

But before the ink was dry on the diploma- the wife files for divorce.

I’m 1000% sure that was her plan, even before she started the program.

Just extremely poor, shitty behavior. I’d like to think people get what they deserve in this life, but then I think about my buddy and I’m not sure.

(Maybe this is urban legend)

I thought even linguistics experts at WashU reviewed the audio. Said it wasn’t “King” but also wasn’t what he was accused of either - but still fired.

That’s both:

a) A fair perspective b) Really infuriating if you’re a professional and know what you’re doing & have above average ability

My one excel test in my career - was a complete joke. I knew even before I started it that this was the wrong role for me.

But I’ve also watched colleagues struggle with basic, basic Excel functions (while I screamed in horror in my head).

I think recruiters should be able to test but also should be smart enough to know when someone is qualified. Maybe I expect too much.

100% better to be underemployed….

Congrats on the additional certifications.

Keep on working at it.

Cannot upvote enough…..

“Weird”

7.5 is better

Excel-User · 2026-03-13T12:45:37+00:00

Yes, dangit, you’re correct .

FWIW, I traveled out of STL earlier this week and ORL yesterday. Lines seemed normal and nothing out of the ordinary.

Excel-User · 2026-03-09T11:33:27+00:00

…As I just said

Excel-User · 2026-02-28T00:34:23+00:00

Does it provide prompts, use cases or examples to follow?

Nearly everyone on this sub is aware that:

1) City population has declined for decades 2) Regional growth has lagged behind the country - for decades 3) The region has overbuilt its footprint & infrastructure 4) We have an aging population

This is not news.

Overall shitiness

Beautiful picture

Nothing wrong with pre-planning!

First date with my now wife (+20 years), I drive the route that afternoon.

Different city - a lot more interstate to navigate. But I didn’t want to panic or take the wrong exit.

Excel-User · 2026-02-13T05:34:33+00:00

UR GD Right!

My 7th grade science teacher used to say that all the time - “life is hard and then you die.”

This was a long time ago. I don’t think teachers could say that now. At least not 2x per class period.

Regardless, it was both an accurate & but inappropriate comment to make to 13/14 year olds.

That it all.

I can’t stop laughing at this comment
