A partner that I work with has repeatedly called me by the wrong name. He has done it twice on a call with a client. I always correct him when it happens but it bothers me that he cannot get my name right.

Wrong name or wrong pronunciation? Keep correcting him. He should feel stupid not you.

Wrong first name or wrong last name? It doesn't really matter I guess, but I think first names are more important to get right. My last name is Chinese and I think people confuse it for the name of the president of China, so I don't get too upset if I know they are trying to get it right (disappointing but not surprising).

Personally, I try to always correct it (sometimes in the moment it's easier to let it go) but if people butcher my name bc they don't bother to ask me how to pronounce or they repeatedly say it wrong after I correct them then they go on my "list" and I keep those people at a distance and generally don't try to get close personally. I would rather someone ask me pronunciation than to just keep butchering it.

Third year new to BL on the east coast. On a deal with another mid and two juniors, all of whom are on Pacific Time. Junior I am working with was working on comments sent by partner (also on PT) and sending directly. I didn’t see any emails from the other mid and junior, stayed up until midnight, but wasn’t sure what my role was there. Was this clear cut and did I miss it? FWIW I’ve worked through the night previously for deals so this isn’t new to me; just wasn’t sure of my role on this team.

Male associate here. This week a junior female associate in my team came to me for advice on bullying from a senior female lawyer. Said senior lawyer has a reputation for this (but has always been civil to me). The thing is: this is the 6th time I have been aware of senior women in law bully younger women in the last 5 years (across 3 firms) and it is swept under the carpet because said senior women are top billers and firms are keen to promote “top women”. Anyone else with similar experiences?
