7am or 745am flight out of ORD. Leaving from River North. Is it even worth it taking the 745am based on travel time in the morning? When to leave if taking 745am?

Take the 7am flight, leave for airport at 5.20. For 7.45 you should leave around 5.35.

I just moved out of river north. I left at 5:30 for a 7 am. I’d say 5:45 for the 7:45 flight because traffic picks up around 6

I left today at 5:15 for a 6:30 fro RN. Got to my gate as they were calling concierge key.

To clarify, boarding was at 6

Take the earlier flight in most cases: (1) traffic is better, (2) you charge more time on Monday vs. make up for it later, (3) client is happier to see you earlier. General rule is to take first flight out

(1/2) I started a new job less than a month ago at a large firm with a significant pay increase. I work remotely- which is a special arrangement. They paid for my travel to their headquarters for in-person training. After interacting with my manager and some of the attorneys, I feel like I made a mistake. Manager is demeaning and rude. A bunch of the attorneys dropped not so subtle hints that people who work from home are causing all kinds of problems. I don’t know what to do.

Less of a question, more of a request... stop asking your junior BIPOC strats to work on BLM briefs because they are the only voice of color on your team. In a time where we need support grappling with our very REAL realities and how it impacts how we show up in the agency, the LAST thing we need is an “opportunity” to express our “unique POV” on a diversity brief (that we won’t even get to speak to none the less). Imagine having to chanbel your trauma into a deck to sell in an idea to clients?
