A lot of people complain about millennials but a Gen Z clerk just told me that she wasn’t going to download some documents from a deal site because they were so many (and she had to download one document at a time) and I should review them directly on the site.

Bro, what?

In my opinion all these youth complaints are just about individuals that maybe have problems related to a lack of experience but do not represent the world's stock of young people. When you were young you probably weren't perfect you're probably still not perfect now, maybe you're more likely to notice it when someone different than you is imperfect but that doesn't mean that you are

@author: Yeah, but unquestioningly doing something is the hallmark of things not changing, which was my point. I think in the next few years, firms are going to have to rethink how to train and retain associates if this trend continues. The juniors (unfortunately) know their worth as frustrating as it is for the rest of us. Until a recession hits anyway.

I need to know how this ended

Can anyone at Pwc AC bangalore office confirm if they are reopening anytime soon or already working in hybrid mode? I have an offer from HR who insists that office isn't gonna open anytime soon but not ready to give anything in writing. Given that HR has miscommunicated multiple things (verbally), it is difficult to take them up on their word. I wanted to understand how long before they start calling people back to office.

Hi! New attorney here. Licensed in January 2021.

I have a seriously hard time working all day. I went straight through, so part of it is probably just that I've never worked in an office before, but I have the hardest time getting in all my hours. Anyone else deal with that fatigue? Or figured out how to conquer it?

Not sure if this has been asked before but what are your billable expectations, what year are you, and what size firm are you at?

I have been lurking on fishbowl for a bit and it seems that my billable expectations at my small firm are too high (1850). I don’t hit them but neither does anyone else including senior associates / partners. Anyways, my boss is using that as an excuse to not give me a raise - so any insight you could provide would be helpful!

Associate in the NY office of a magic circle firm. Been really struggling with mental health issues for a long time - I feel like I’m begging for guidance/supervision and not getting any, and can’t get any support junior-wise either.

Is the expectation just to magically figure out how to get things done solo, even if it’s the first time to do it? Is it better at NY-HQ firms that have more resources?
