I make it a cardinal rule never to dip my pen in the company ink. 😂

I did it multiple times and it turned out pretty poorly. It created a hostile work environment and schedulers we’re constantly battling not putting us together on jobs.. I didn’t have a problem with it but the others did. I eventually left that firm and joined another! Haven’t done it here yet..

Badly, work relationships are taboo!

I work at a ‘free market’ firm and have developed a very good reputation among partners. Naturally, they are drowning me in work. Each time a new case comes up, the partner will email asking if I have “time and interest” in helping. When I’m at capacity, I take these words at face value and explain why I can’t do it, and that seems to work out ok with no hard feelings. But what’s the “interest” thing? If I don’t want to work on a toxic tort case, do I just say that and pass?
