As a junior lawyer, what’s a good way to ask seniors that review your work for more feedback on a particular piece of work? Sometimes I feel like they review writing and provide little to no comments because it’s not substantively wrong but, based on feedback I get from others, I know there’s areas for improvement (and people always have personal preferences, which are helpful to know, too). I know it takes someone much longer to give this feedback so any thoughts/suggestions welcomed!

If I tell people I'm a writer, they think all I want to do is entertain people. But if I tell them I'm a reporter, they usually look like I'm about to ambush them with questions. SMH. They're both the SAME THING, people

How some people are clearing interview and then getting into a project even though they don't have any skills, no desire to learn new things, can't perform a very very simple task even though it's already documented clearly, totally burden on team members.

A direct competitor just posted a VP position 1 level above my current position. Currently my company does not have a VP and I report to a SVP. I currently do the job of a VP. I've asked to be made a VP and know that it will eventually happen but my leadership is dragging their feet. How do I broach this topic without sounding like I'm threatening to jump ship?

I love working at the bookstore and I'm proud to work with such a large group of people from different backgrounds. I'm really happy we're all here. But it probably isn't the best idea to get someone to reshelve books when they haven't been taught how to categorize them properly. It's like I spend most of the day following one of my coworkers around and discreetly fixing what he works on. He's a great guy, very personable, but wow is it frustrating.

I just had a mental slip up and said some really concerning things to my team on a call. I’m feeling very anxious about it and I feel dumb - I wish I hadn’t said anything.

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.

What’s the consensus on tattoos in the insurance workplace? I’m in leadership and considering exploring my options due to recent personnel changes. I work remote and have arm sleeves, and any time I would be in-person I’d of course wear a long sleeve shirt to be professional, but worry about a cuff rolling up and tattoos being somewhat visible. Nothing is offensive by any means.

I want to thank my manager (she/her) as eoy nears - any holiday gift reco that might not seem overboard but still shows gratitude?

What should I expect from my manager? I've stuck it out for a year now and all I'm ever told is to not make mistakes. Manager stated explicitly that he does not want to review or test my work. Any attempts at discussion of why I made a mistake are dismissed by him as me making excuses. I never get any positive feedback. I somehow manager to make it a few months without making any errors but I missed a small detail in a large project and my 1on1 went terribly because of it. Is this common?
