frustrationentertainment..And the beat goes on.
Do you have a place at your office building (assuming there is one) and, if so, do you have to report there periodically?
The reason I ask is that my son works for Earths largest defense contractor and works from home. They live in MD and expressed an interest in moving back closer to family. I was wondering how that worked.

Then, of course, there's the politics. If you aren't on-site to have "face time" with whomever needs to have their hem kissed, that can be a factor as well.
No, I'm not bitter, not at all. I started in 1968 and left in 2018, and all but the last few years were pretty decent.
There is still 'hotel space' in the office she used to go to every day.
He used to go in a lot, but it didn't seem to matter so he stopped. I told him a few years ago, when he was still relatively new, that when it was time for a promotion they may be more inclined to promote someone the have actually seen - in person.

They just had their second son and it would be great to have them back home.

My wife is not required to go into the office, although wasn't forced to leave it either.
We have a dedicated office in our house, so it's finally getting used for that after 20+ years.

I am only kidding a bit, but it does make one think. I feel like the C250 is like a new car. If you can afford the $600 a month and you like the G-Car go for it.
A young guy at pickleball has a black Mustang that looks pretty fast. He wanted to drag me......I told him I only had a 4 cylinder, it wouldn't be much of a race. He was disappointed, he thought it was a fast car. He opened the drivers door to look inside, he closed it and was amazed at how solid it seemed. You forget about those things. The C250 is my first used car in many years....and I like it just like a new car....unless it starts to act up! :@

What most people would be surprised to learn is....it is only worth $11700 as a trade-in.

He doesn't seem to be concerned about it any more. I suspect, but don't really know, that he has assumed as much responsibility as he wants.

There are some in the group who have dropped subtle hints to go to desk sharing to further reduce the treks into the office but I'm not in favor of it nor is space an issue. Some of my service partners however only need to report in quarterly.

My office phone is a cell (Android). My laptop is an HP running windows. I have a printer, desk, keyboard, mouse, monitor, pics on the wall and a view out my window of the woods in my back yard. I like it that way.
I have another cell phone for all my personal stuff (iPhone). My personal laptop is a MAcBook Air. And, when I just need access to emails, I use my iPad as my travel computer.
So, I have one foot in the Android and Windows environment and another in the Apple ecosystem.
Q...thanks for looking up the lease parameters on both Kias and Genesis. Looks like if I’m going to dip my toes back into the leasing pool, neither will be on my radar. If I decide to buy outright, the Stinger GT is still selling for around $40K on a $50K+ MSRP.
