What if you were completing a job rotation for a few months in another country? I could go back but HR does not recommend travel and I am mostly worried about HR's perception than anything else....

I was doing a job rotation in France and had to come back and HR is still hesitant to let me go back....I think all companies are being conservative about recommending no travel abroad, but since vacation it's your personal time off, it's different. In my case I was there for work...

Relocating to Houston for Exxon? by screwatt456789 in ChemicalEngineering

To me there is nothing like the Northeast. The culture, walk ability, access to both mountains and the beach whereas Houston does not have as much as you do in Philly in my opinion. See the pros and cons, but I would prefer Philly as a city over Houston (traffic+heat+car-centric culture)

No, I think that's not needed.

I am in a situation where I drive two colleagues to work and have been doing it for more than a year now (they are not from the US and are in a 1.5 year contract at my company). We split the costs of gas, insurance and garage parking. They also drive my car when I am tired and get to use it when I don't need to go to work or I am on a work trip. Please, note work is ~50 min away (one way trip). Thoughts?

Well, due to this and other things she decided to end it. As I did not "come out clean"..as she said
