Do you have Memorial Day off?
Do you ever discuss salary with your colleagues? Our partner said it was highly discouraged which just makes me want to snoop more.
Settle it once and for all: In the US, is there any difference between an attorney and a lawyer? Are people who graduate law school (without passing the bar) considered lawyers?
What’s the last hobby or project you took on for yourself? Looking to find more balance and do things more than just work and attending work related events.
Anyone at the point of crying and physical anxiety going into work? (Working with terrible people). Job searching but how do I hold on long enough to find something else? Even making time applying and prepping for interviews is hard. How bad an idea is it to just quit? Thinking of going on leave but was told department head has to approve and I think it will be an uphill battle.
One of our legal assistants has repeatedly complained about me to my boss, and each time my boss has met with me about it. The first complaint was because I made a copy of a document and wrote notes on the copy in pencil. The second was because I wrote a note in pencil on a manila folder. Most recently, she complained because I was unable to have someone served when they did not appear in court to be served. I haven't been in trouble for anything else. What would you do in my situation?
Will anyone expect me to work? No. Is my life going to be miserable if I miss an entire day of billable work? Yes. So, I'll be working.
My office is “closed” and admin will be off, so kinda, but I need to meet my hours somehow so I’ll be working.
Yes and my boss told my team to basically phone it in today and just pay attention to email.
thats not vacation. all my devices are off
Our office is “closed” and a lot of people are traveling so suspect my emails will be quiet but I’ll probably sneak in a couple hours to catch up on stuff. In biglaw if that matters.
I’m in a mid sized law firm. Law firm is open 24/7, and also has three days in per week policy. So I assume I can work from home on that day ?
Why would you work on a major holiday?
Yes. Got all my work done before and just said I’m gonna be out today and Monday
Yes but I’m big law so nobody cares
Yes and I’m in big law and I’m taking it off because I’m leaving soon and don’t care.
Yes...but only because I was laid off. My last day is today.
Thank you. It sucks but there's nothing I can do about it.
Absolutely
Yep, closed and no emails reviewed.
