Dislike big law? or Dislike firm? or Dislike practice area? I'm not sure I can tell. I feel very apathetic about everything I do (corporate) since it's so meaningless to me, but I have no idea what I would do differently if I left a firm. Thoughts on this? I've considered lateraling but I don't know if I understand my underlying dissatisfaction. Plus, I make ridiculous money sitting in my home office while my cousin works in a coal mine...why am I complaining?

Q for the WFH home office pros.. What's the best way to set up a station if I would like 2 external monitors for my laptop (have 1 monitor rn but plan to purchase another), but I also have a desktop pc that I would like to be able to switch my monitors to when not on my laptop?
With my current setup of 1 monitor, I have to unplug the hdmi from the laptop and plug to the desktop each time I need to use the desktop, but it's not convenient so want to see if there's a convenient way to set this up?

I’m starting as a Junior at a new firm and, in addition to the home office set up they provide, they also give a $500 IT stipend. Does this typically cover desks? And do stipends typically get disbursed as a $500 check or they reimburse specific purchases? And if it’s the latter, would they cover purchases made before the start date?

Hi community, humbly seeking professional HR advice. I recently joined my company’s HR team. In an informal conversation, a senior HRBP, considered a peer, called 2 of our fellow HR colleagues “worthless.” I should have rebuked her then & there but was so caught off guard. This person is 20 years my senior. In the same conversation this person advocated for me on a separate matter & complimented my performance. I am not sure what course of action to take at this time. Distraught & unsure.
