A female leader I respect labeled herself as “girl boss” is that weird? I never see a man brand himself “boy boss” why do women feel that they have to over compensate for being female and being in

Recommender asked me if I wanted to write my LOR and have them sign off. I don’t think it’s a matter of laziness but they wanted to be sure they accurately captured what they needed to. Would you just ask her to run a first pass and offer to review after?

Partially venting, and partially asking if this is worth sticking through: I am a junior associate. About a month ago, I made the move to a larger firm. Since day 1, one of the partners has constantly put me on the spot, quizzing me every time he calls, which gave me a lot of anxiety, but I was dealing with it. Up until recently, the same thing happened, and he yelled at me, screamed that he was pissed off, when I didn’t know the answer to one of his questions. Now he doesn’t delegate any work..

What is the least worst way (sorry) to let partners you appreciate very much that you are leaving for a competitor?
Would giving a warning before accepting the offer considered better or just rip the bandaid?

A guy who used to be on my team resigned a few weeks ago for another opportunity. I ran into his new boss socially and told them I was really impressed with how this guy was handling the drug bust and battling his heroine addiction during this career change. It shows real grit. That’s what wishing the best for others looks like.

Today I find myself not excited about my current job and since the firm is much smaller than my last job in HE I feel like there is less growth opportunities.

There's an office 5 minutes from my house. But I've been commuting 45 minutes for 4 years since I've been hired. Hoping they move me soon. I've asked several times to transfer but there has to be a canvas since it's based off seniority in the company. Hopefully with gas prices the way they are this will happen sooner than later
