Articling student in Canada (8 month internship with potential hireback), currently doing transactional work. I’m WFH and having a hard time building relationships with partners. I’m friendly/chat with associates and am on great terms with one partner who gives me work often, but not much else. The firm “encourages” reaching out to partners to chat, though I’ve tried and been essentially ignored. Partners rarely have enough time to give me feedback, so I feel they don’t have time to chat.

Ever since moving to hybrid work, my coworkers are always complaining about how much they hate their jobs, how much of a hassle it is to travel or work from home. How can you be expected to do your job when you're just so far away from everything?

Hi network! Needing some help. My fiancé is seeking a position in the Supply Chain sales or consulting area. He currently is a Marine Scheduler for an oil&gas company here in Houston. He is open to remote or hybrid positions, holds a B.S. in Supply Chain Mgmt. Has 5 years of supply chain industry experience. Are there any companies that we should be targeting? Also what compensation should he be asking for?

BDO, I need some help~ What so you think about a remote position? Is there any huddle in progression if you are fully remote? What's next after MD?

Junior here. Any advice on how to deal with a mid who rushes my work?

I’m on a matter where the mid regularly rushes my work. If I say something will take me an hour, they will instead have a 20 minute conversation telling me it should take me 30 minutes. When I let them rush me, I inevitably make mistakes.

Whenever I say something will take me time, they ask me why. When I explain why (e.g., number of documents, I want to double-check X), they tell me they don’t want to hear my excuses.

Hello Everyone. Please let me know whether Infosys is actually giving permanent WFH. What about next year or next to next year?

Hey guys!

Can anyone give me ideas for remote jobs that can be done at my own time?

I work 9-5 and i would love to work a remote job during nights and weekends...

A creative startup agency is looking for a partner / sales executive to assist with client acquisition. We offer 45% split profit share for all clients brought on or deals you close. We have a marketplace of over 100 UGC influencers and growing and we create engaging video content as well as graphics and brand identity. If you have a list of clients you’re looking to leverage into sales / revenue, this is a great remote opportunity. If you’re interested , please DM me.

Any thoughts on what the 'full' transition to hybrid will look like? Do you think showing up in-person to the office would be required even if the client isn't requesting it? I'm planning on staying WFH for as long and as much as possible and getting concerned about some of the emails we've been getting about the future of hybrid work at PRO.

Is it wrong to say "thank you" when you're given an assignment? If so, how do you end your response? Just "will do." or similar?

What made you start working as a customer support agent? Don't ask me, I just needed remote work during the pandemic, but I want to know if anyone else have had a different motivation.

I (and mostly everyone else) lightly work nights and weekends to keep up with my work schedule, while one of my coworkers only works 8 hours a day and doesn’t open a laptop on weekends, and never finishes his work on time.

instead of having a conversation with this coworker, my bosses accommodate him and shift work around, which i think is unfair (unless he’s on a limited work schedule).

i’m getting frustrated and want to say something but don’t know if that’s appropriate? what would you do

I've worked as a maid for a long time but am tired of driving to everyone's homes, so I'm thinking of trying out a job as a housekeeper in a hotel. Is there anyone out there who has done both jobs and can tell me a bit about the differences? I would appreciate any advice at all.

It's a great catch with Nagarro. I researched and found that there are 2 companies -Nagarro Enterprise Pvt Ltd and Nagarro software Pvt Ltd. Definitely not same as both inception year is way different.
What's the catch, in offer letter they mentioned Nagarro Enterprise Pvt Ltd. Is it a copy of Nagarro or indian subsidiary of Nagarro group?

Any one working in Intellect design arena?

Recently, I inherited a mess of a project. During the scope stages, it became more and more apparent that effective communication hadn't been established across all key stakeholders.

I'm a firm believer that the right communication establishes a structure for effective project execution. It lays down clear project goals and objectives, leaving no room for ambiguity.

Creating a communication matrix often makes a difference to planning. How do you manage your communication within your projects?

For people who have returned to the office, are you feeling more or less productive? Today’s my first day back (going in only twice a week) and it feels like being new again. I also feel less productive since it’s harder to randomly to play music or step out for a walk to recalibrate and focus. Is it just me?

Back in the job market , any tips for using this opportunity to switch to product management or sales . I have been throughly technical for my whole career . But being a people person and a visual learner , has taught me that I causenuse those qualities to foray into a sale engineering role . Product owner / management is something I have also been keen on. Any leads and positive vibes appreciated😊

Seeking recs: San Francisco (downtown) mid-week outdoor lunch options for a business lunch?

December feels like a country song. Two dogs died on the 1st. A hard rain exposed latent roof damage and collapsed ceiling in two rooms. Stove, fridge and water heater all went out on the same day last week. Yesterday my spouse said they needed a break from the chaos through the holidays and left. Today a positive covid test. And 7 deals trying to close before year end requiring my full attention so none of the aforementioned can get any attention.

Associates, don’t let this become you.

Hey all - first year associate here… I’ve met my hours requirement for this year (requirement is 1900 and am currently at around 2050 with billable hours - approx. 2160 with non billable admin hours) and I am just tired. Is it okay to just “disappear” during the holidays (thanksgiving week, week of Christmas) and let partners and senior associates know I am not available? At this point I don’t care about making more money - I just want to sleep, read a good trashy book, and cuddle with my dog.

Have two offers (Firm A and Firm B). Made up my mind to accept Firm B’s offer. Got conflicts check forms for both firms. Should I fill out both conflicts forms?

Looking to switch from a boutique firm into big law and make a move into corporate from litigation. Anyone have experiences doing this? Also, does anyone know which firms are more willing to hire laterals from outside of big law and which ones won’t?

Nixon Peabody layoffs confirmed (screenshot on nonequitypartner IG).

How do billable requirements (or expectations in my firm’s case) and bonus eligibility actually apply to first-year associates who may have had a few slow months starting out? I’m finally in the 200 range the past few months but started out sub-120 for the first few.

Why is the tech we have for biglaw so ass backwards. I hate relativity. I hate MS word. I’ve waisted so many hours of my life formatting a doc. and trying to figure out whether a document was produced or not, the bates stamping, and other inane projects.

I need to ask my practice group/HR to make an exception for me. Should I ask my firm appointed mentor partner only? Or ask other partners that I’ve worked with and have relationships with as well? (Don’t know if latter would be too aggressive or unnecessarily?)

I need partners to respond to my emails or give me my well-earned autonomy to make strategic (or basic) decisions. I don’t need 1 junior writing and 5 seniors “commenting” on the draft with questions that do not move the ball. Stop perpetuating this nonsense. I need more great paralegals, not another “big picture” mid level. I need your help making my team feel invested in our case, not more awkward team meetings.

If your firm is losing senior associates at record rates, listen to me.

Has anyone ever had their main partner leave the firm and asked you to join? Pros and cons of either choice?

First-year in V10 lit. I’m annualizing at 2000 including pro bono (most is billable), and I am worried about not taking more work. Staffing has asked me repeatedly to take new matters and I’ve said no because I feel at capacity with my current paid matters. Mids/seniors on my team tell me also not to take completely new matters. Billed 9/10 hours if not more every day and some hours on the weekends this month. Billing better/higher last few months. Am I not trying hard enough and in trouble?

Does anyone have thoughts on Steptoe?? All opinions welcome thanks everyone!

Junior associate. Should leave my firm and I follow a new partner in another firms’s established debt finance dept., or follow a new partner creating another big law debt finance dept. ? I’m leaving my firm no matter what, but have to chose between these two options - I’m looking for the most interesting experience !

Anyone in lev fin in south Florida? Would love to hear from you.

I need some help. I'm struggling immensely to cope right now and have been for a while. I'm talking about breakdowns and crying every day. I can't ask for help as I'm going to hand in my notice in two weeks and then stay for another three more only, but I feel incapable of even getting through those five weeks. How do I make it out ok?

We are very leanly staffed and I have a principle role in many transactions as sole associate which makes it more challenging, to both cope and take space.
