I was riding an elevator with a partner once on like a Wednesday morning and I saw he was wearing flip flops and shorts. I made a comment in jest saying “oh I didn’t know that was dress code, nice”. He went all high brow on me and said when you’re a partner you get to do what you want, but it was really snarky like “I can’t believe this staff is calling me out, I’m disgusted to even be acknowledging him"

Sounds about right for some partners. I probably would have just gone with “it’s jimmie buffet day, didn’t you hear?"

I basically told a partner that I like my job but people think it’s crazy and the partner was like well I like this job and I sat there like no shit Sherlock I’m an idiot 🤦‍♀️

Just remember they say just as much stupid stuff as you. In fact, they talk much more so even with a lower probability, it will naturally result in more stupid.

Everyone says stupid stuff. Learn to forgive yourself and others.

Yep. Been there done that😖

Given the expectation for people of my tenure to transition to EM in a year or so, I can’t see myself staying due to the WLB as an EM. I’m 35 and have 2 young kids. Can it even be realistically done? Would love to stay but I don’t see a balance which would keep my family happy. What options do I have from there?

I have been told not to bill for this but if I didn't have to spend time to do such things my billable hours would be higher
