A female friend of mine recently received a settlement in a sexual harassment action against her employer during mediation. Upon receiving her (female) attorney’s final bill she was blown away to discover that her attorney charged her almost five times what the attorney estimated she would charge for the mediation. (The attorney was drinking alcohol during the Zoom mediation and settled for far less than she estimated she would get.) [continued below]

What value do TPMs provide? In my company all they seem to do is tell other people to work on things they’re already working on, and incessantly nag people on slack for status updates and timelines which you’ve already provided.

Mac or HP or Dell: I prefer Mac notebooks. However it seems there might be limitations with the use of Skype or other applications based on materials I have seen. What do you all recommend is the best laptop for working at Deloitte?

I love teaching art but am having to teach remotely to 1150 kids, k - 5. Have about 54 amazing elementary art teachers in my district that share SO much! I could retire (34 yrs), but just don’t want to because I love what I do! Feeling like my students aren’t getting what they should because I am struggling with Zoom, Microsoft, safe YouTube, bitmoji, embedding, downloads, editing, etc. Anyone else feeling this way?

Just had a great Zoom breakout room chat with a Bain Consultant who’s an alum the b-school I’m attending (Experience Bain). Asked a couple questions and really enjoyed the convo. Ok to connect on LinkedIn?

I used to work down the hall from Zoom in the WeWork on Madison and 51st, who knew they were gonna blow up like this wow

Tips for helping kids stay on task during zoom? Our little class (9 kids) has been doing zoom circle times twice a week but I noticed they are really distracted. Also every meeting a kid leave...

So you are interested in collaborating? I have been teaching Avid since 2006-ish. Any suggestions on how to transition to distance learning on Microsoft Teams? How does that look in Avid?

Heard that in a Zoom call with all 2024 PE candidates today, the head of CPI was encouraging everyone to sit out of oncycle if it’s this early. If true, that’s huge given that CPI basically runs the game

Anyone looking to do a case prep this weekend via Skype / phone?

Hey! Are there any art directors willing to chat over zoom? I’m a recent grad and I need some advice about jump starting !

Has anyone seen any unique places to find UX portfolios or post jobs other than the usual suspects?
Some UX Slack channels were doing well for a while but I definitely don’t see as much traction there. Meetups obviously came and went. Even the portfolio sites like Dribbble and Behance don’t seem that same.

I am curious how other inclusion teachers are being utilized when the school is doing remote learning. I find that I am sitting in the zoom class and have very little opportunity to contribute. I am having discussions with my teachers on ways that I can better support them and the students when remote.

Anyone else getting conflicting messages on whether it is permissible to use Zoom with federal agencies? Some are insisting on using it (MSPB), some are saying absolutely can't use it (DHS, USDA).

Stopping in Philly for one night...what's the best area to stay in? Would love to be walkable to a few good brewpubs, craft beer bars or breweries, esp. those with outdoor areas/beer gardens and in an area that's less urban and more residential ideally w. historic row houses. TY!

12 years and my partner won't do chores. Vent vent vent. I make 80% of our income and pay 80% of expenses. I'm also tidy but hate cleaning. Partner works 20-30 hours/ week no kids and is a slob. 3 months ago made chore list, got them to sign on the list the 50/50 split that it was fair. 3 months later I've been doing my chores they haven't done any. Brought it up today and was accused that the list was unfair they refuse and they dont have time because they must "work to subsidize your expenses"

How many people use the metro and or commuter bus to work? I’m European and lived in NY but I know that public transport is very different here. I’m thinking of speed, safety, reliability, and realistic expectation to use every day - TIA!

So, it’s been two weeks since the last response from the HR recruiter (they said my resume and tests were shared with the team). Should I send an email? It’s normal that some process take this long, but I’m getting a little anxious.

How’s Consulting at T1/T2 in the UK different than that in the US? Consider all aspects such as client interactions, socializing, WLB, attire, meetings, promotion criteria, etc.

What time do you get into the office? More importantly, how long is your commute?

I’m ready to put my small business on the back burner so I can look for outside employment. I haven’t heard from any of the companies I applied to. What am I doing wrong or should be doing? Thanks

I am struggling to spend the time to study for the PHR. I have everything I need, but I feel exhausted from the work week every weekend. I’m looking to take it in August.. help? What do I do?

Any physician scientists looking for a job in stealth co?

I am seeking new employment, I was recently laid off due to lack of work. I would very much appreciate any leads. I have a Bs in Construction Management and over 15 years experience with Revit and AutoCAD and 7 years of plumbing design. I have solid references and impeccable work ethic. I truly enjoy what I do. Working remotely the last three years has become a way of my life and supports our current situation well, therefore I am seeking a similar role but will consider other opportunities.

Is this bowl still active?

I have personal accounts (under my SSN) and a business account (under a C corp's EIN) at a major bank. I opened new checking and IOLTA accounts for my new law firm (under a new EIN), accessible online via a new userid.

Now the bank has tied my new law firm's accounts to the C corp's EIN and userid. The bank's phone support people say I need to wait until tomorrow to visit the branch. Until then, the C corp's owners, bookkeepers, and systems can access the law firm's IOLTA and general accounts.

Great concept for a bowl! Here’s an ethics question/issue I struggle with — the application of the attorney no-contact rule in a governmental setting — e.g., when an attorney represents a resident on a matter and the attorney tries to deal with the relevant department even after the matter has been referred to the law department. Courtesy and professionalism may dictate that the attorney go through the law department, but I’m not sure it’s required by the rules. Anyone have experience with this?

Referrals are, for many, our bread and butter. Some attorneys often encourage clients and prospective with positive relationships to leave reviews on platforms like Avvo and Justia. Others avoid this like the plague due to the implications and risk of receiving, and more so responding to, bad reviews.

We know against the rules to incentivize through compensation referrals from your clients; however, what do you do or where do you limit incentivizing clients to make referrals, if at all?

We know some jurisdictions out there still have rules that think the digital age is the same as it was in the 90’s, so with how much work is being done remotely lately, what are your biggest ethics concerns? Have any ridiculous ethics opinions that have made you facepalm at how dated our practice can be sometimes?

Crazy ethics issue. Client 1 has VPO against man who later becomes Client 2. This is the 4th VPO this year, previous ones dismissed.

In the meantime, State has filed rape charges against man who becomes Client 2 and A/B charges against Client 1. Client 1 also files for divorce.

Clients reconcile (which is how they both end up clients...) and want VPO dismissed, divorce dismissed, and criminal charges dismissed.

DHS gets involved and want to remove the child from Client 1's custody. (1/2)
