Anyone else think girls wearing flip flops in the office is just wrong? #itsFriday

I've been working remotely for the past two years, and it's been great. I love working from home and being able to watch my kids grow up through their eyes as they play around me. But sometimes, when you're in this kind of situation, it's hard to know what to talk about with your coworkers.

Has it ever happened to you that you meet someone and they say they want a “LTR” however they don’t even put the effort to say hi or ask you things?

#Genders
Women, do you find it difficult to work with men?
Men, do you find it difficult to work with women?

If there is something you absolutely hate and would like to change when working with the other gender, what would it be?

PS: I'm sorry for focusing on male/female genders in the question, but it's valid for anyone having different experience working with other genders than theirs.

Ever work for a manipulative micro manager with a better than you attitude? How the heck did you deal?

Anyone else get frustrated when the partner brags about their billable hour amount for the month? Like congrats, you get to bill .2 for each piece of mail. You also get .2 for every letter your secretary types up as a "form letter" you never even look at. As an Associate, I don't get those easy/automatic hours.

Should I contact HR at the company I interviewed with at 2 days ago?? It’s only been 2 days but I’m fucking desperate. I just want to reiterate interest and say I had a great convo and am looking forward to connecting with the rest of the team. Thought?

I’ll be asking my last job for a letter of recommendation but I’m not sure who to ask. My boss, who is lovely and would write an amazing LOR. Or my boss's boss who would put minimal effort in but it would have more weight.

For the natural girls: is a perm set or/and flexi rod set considered unprofessional, especially if you’ve only been working at the firm for a few weeks

When your team director calls you out for liking crazy rich Asians, and says, “I didn’t call on you because you’re Asian....” in front of my entire team of 70 people.

Traveling for a client for the first time since Covid. Any recommendations on dress shirts for athletic builds? I’m 6’4” broader shoulders / narrow waist. Always have trouble finding shirts that aren’t huge around the middle that can accommodate wide shoulders. TIA!

I was working at a Hotel one night & I saw a man appearing on two different floors, then in the stairwell. The man was in his 70’s or 80’s. He was wearing nothing but tidy whiteys. When he got to the front desk I asked “is everything alright? Are you okay?” (Assuming he may be senile),He wasn’t senile, he went swimming & wanted to make me uncomfortable and started to flirt while in his sopping wet see through tidy whiteys- and of course I had to clean up the water he tracked through the lobby.

“It’s not that I struggle with ambiguity, it’s more like you have no direction” is what I want to say to my client

Which people or which department in your agency are the sharpest/most professionally dressed? And does their attire affect your perception of them?

What's your go to office dress type shoe?

What's your opinion on making friends with non-HR coworkers? I don't like the thought that someday I might have to write up a friend for disciplinary action or tell them they're fired.

I think it's funny that I was told when I got my first big girl job, I'll be a catch and that there so many single men in cooperate. I've been working for a while now and everyone I meet is married. Is there I memo I missed?

Agreed to serve as local counsel for another attorney in my firm (different office). Answered complaint and then the case fell off the rails. Turns out firm has a conflict of interest that was missed in initial check, client has been instructed to retain a new attorney, court has ordered us to withdraw and client to produce documents by Wednesday. I keep reaching out to the attorney who I am assisting to ask if I can file my withdrawal and for the name of the new attorney and nothing. (Cont.)

Quick vent, would love input: I’m an attorney working for a state-wide nonprofit. I’ve been crushing it this year and have been very successful in obtaining favorable divorce and custody orders. An OC (who is generally a terrible attny) just filed a bar complaint b/c I requested attorney fees, arguing they shouldn’t be allowed b/c I work for a nonprofit. The fee request is warranted & allowable. My manager thinks it’s a compliment, but I’m anxious. Thoughts?

Wife got lawyer, and I am interviewing lawyers starting tomorrow. I am primary breadwinner (95%), but she is citing at-fault divorce. I have been having substance abuse issues and anger issues (no physical violence). Need help. She is okay about negotiating outside lawyers. Can anyone recommend a divorce lawyer in ATL area? Any pointers? No kids. Married for 3 years. I paid her student loans and put her through school.
