A year ago, I followed my boss (partner in small 3partner firm, in a merger with much larger corporate firm, which has been a match made in hell... I was put on PIP a few months ago and feel like I'm constantly being watched and constantly waiting for a phone call or email to let me know the hammer is falling. I love my boss like family, but just received an awesome offer from another firm I have to take. The stress over telling my boss is killing me... Anyone have any tips??😬

Thoughts about Digitas Health?

Has anyone made the move from a modern vehicle to buying something older and less practical due to their decreased commute or need for a vehicle due to covid? If so, what’d you get and are you happy with the decision?

I read this super interesting article about how big companies like Toyota are investing in social-emotional training for their employees and seeing massive benefits. I actually think this could be a whole separate class for students of all ages. Learning about conflict resolution, growing your own self-regulation skills...it's really important.

Goodness. Why are sofas so expensive? I’m saving for one but looks like every company outdid each other on pricing not in a good way

Boss: I need you to stop challenging me on every decision.

Me: I don’t want us to have a confrontational relationship and I think we can agree something needs to change. When you make stupid decisions, that affects my business and it makes me feel like you’re not up to the job. That makes it harder for my team to do our jobs. I think to be an authentic leader I need to be radically candid with you and point our your mistakes. So are you willing to work with me on this?

I moved to the Netherlands 3 months ago on a spouse visa. Was working with EY-P earlier. I have been applying to jobs and giving interviews but for some reason things are not working out. I get a different reason everytime (after going through the whole process). This has never happened earlier in life and now I don't know what else to do. I have worked as a strategy consultant (& a researcher). Should I change lines? Where else can I try?
I can't apply to boutique firms since Dutch is mandatory

Hi Chicago - just moved here from the UK (via 7 years in Germany) and looking to make some great new friends.

Moved to River North and into trivia nights, most sports, movies etc and would love to find some people open to adding a city newbie to the group!

42m if that matters 🤷🏻‍♂️😁

Cool company swag that you have received and actually use?

A real gem from Henry Ford: "stopping advertising to save money is like stopping your watch to save time."

Questions for web builders, digital security providers, and web technicians.

A Marketing associate in charge of all of our hardcoded web resources says “I have to complete the web admin/updates and security checks every Monday morning” They claim this takes two hours and is super involved. Is this true? Could someone explain to me the process?

Toured One Paseo in Del Mar this week and it’s just so damn perfect💔 But that price tag 😭💸 super new to SD. Any recommendations for similar vibes elsewhere that might be a bit more reasonably priced? Looking to stay away from downtown/super urban areas but not interested in extremely isolated areas either.

This Indian matchmaking show is interesting...love how the first girl is like “my partner needs to fit in my life” 😳🙄😳🙄🤭

Work is an emotional rollercoaster - change my mind.

When applying for a job, what is the strategy when a firm asks you for your compensation requirements? I don’t want to be unrealistic, but I don’t want to sell myself short either.

Have you been laid-off, furloughed, or fired yet? And how were you told this? Do you know anyone, personally, who was laid off?

Had a lateral interview back in January. Looked at the firm’s website and the posting was taken down. I had emailed two weeks ago, and they were still moving through the process. What do I make of it?

Curious to know what other firm's bonus structures are, particularly those with billable requirements of 1900 and below. Trying to understand what the norm is and figure out if associates at my firm are getting screwed. thanks

Firm announced flexible come and go as you see fit approach to coming back to office. Partner I work for said I need to be in office 4-5 days a week anyway. Thoughts?

I'm a junior associate. A couple people have left my small firm and I'm now the lone associate at our main office. I've now been told I am "temporary senior associate or permanent or partner whatever that results in." Please send help. I'm just a baby attorney still.

Enviro/ natural resource lawyers— what’s your dream job?

Thinking about applying as a lateral to Quinn Emmanuel LA. Thoughts on hours, etc.?

Mid-level associate at a mid-size regional insurance defense firm practicing coverage litigation. Salary is capped b/c my firm only does I.D./coverage and has no direct-hire comm clients. Second round of interviews with a comm lit boutique where I would be the only associate with 5 partners. Other than partner track, salary/benefits, and switching from coverage to general comm lit, what qualities of the move should I be thinking about as I weigh my options? I've never worked at another firm.

I recently had a specialist partner send me a fairly nasty email after I (a transactional first year) was told to ask them to review something ASAP that had clearly been on my partner’s radar for over a week. Why am I taking the (honestly justified) blame for this? Surely it should be obvious that I’m just the messenger here.

What up ladies and gentlemen today we are discussing the legal ramifications of contact tracing on cell phone carriers. Are there any plaintiffs lawyers eyeing lawsuits over data policies? Are they are insurance lawyers seeing risk?

Any thoughts on Phillips Lytle? If you could please provide insight on culture/billable requirements? Thank you.

Does anyone practice White Collar criminal defense in NYC or know a decent amount about it? Is it fun or fulfilling? Is it a good way to break into government work in the future?

Looking for guidance: Can a company require its employees to sign a confidentiality agreement prohibiting disclosure/discussion of their individual wages/salary information? Does this run afoul of the NLRA (specifically Section 7)?

How do I train my critical thinking skills? Any book recommendations?

So who else here is experiencing plummeting billable hours and exponential weight gain since this whole WFH thing started? Bought snacks for 30 days, finished in 48 hours.

At a midsize am law 200 firm with subpar salary and bonus structure. Just became an attorney in September 2019. So I feel that it’s too soon to leave. See more below...
