I'm waiting on a verdict for a civil jury trial (first one) and I want to go snowboarding tomorrow. They deliberated from 9-5 today with no verdict. Is it super frowned upon if I zoom in (it was a zoom trial) in a car or on the mountain or a lodge or something? Probably a dumb question but idk if receiving verdicts is a much more relaxed etiquette.

Zoom baby showers: yay or nay? Any ideas on how to make them fun and engaging (and not cringey)? Due late March, originally we were thinking an outdoor shower in late Feb (we are in Atlanta so weather isn’t terrible, though we thought of renting outdoor heaters if cold). With omicron, now thinking virtual is best, but I’ve been to one virtual shower and it was pretty awkward. Ideas welcome!

Hi fishes

Recently saw a post on linkedIN where a company has fired 900 employees over a zoom call.

Today I saw another post of a BI developer getting laid off without any prior notice.

Just wanted to know if anyone else also faced similar situations, since I see the market being very good in terms of switch options and better compensations

But seeing the above 2 scenarios I am a bit sceptical about making my switch

Does anyone actually have a work/life balance in this industry? It seems to get worse as you move up the ladder, which doesn’t inspire much confidence. I’m fairly new to the industry but everyone seems miserable and I can’t say I blame them. No training, no work/life balance, unrealistic client expectations and so on. People quit in droves and you’re just expected to pick up all the slack without any increase in compensation.

Apologies for the pointless post, just needed somewhere to rant.

Should we be treated like athletes? Like the star associates billing a ton, getting involved, should get paid super high. The ones that slack are keyboard warmers, they don’t make much. But most importantly if a good associate isn’t feeling the love or enough cash, they demand a trade from their firm. The partners negotiate “ok we got a star litigator and a bum M&A guy, we’ll give you those two for your 3 mid level finance associates”. I don’t see why this can’t happen. THINK ABOUT IT.
