excellent timing; I was just thinking about here. The social part surprised me too. Good managers make this conversation so much less weird

Only with help got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. My friend tried it in Nairobi and had the opposite result

Surprised more people aren't choosing Not for me. It seems like the practical answer. The low-effort version is probably the keeper

I picked Not for me, mostly becuase it feels easiest to live with. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability
