Assuming something isn’t same-day urgent what’s a reasonable turnaround time to follow-up on something? (I.e you request time from someone to set up a meeting and haven’t heard back yet).

Two to three days. They might have forgotten and calendars get busy especially if it’s with someone higher up or multiple people needed. If it’s just between you and the other person, I would follow up after a week.

Never!

Following….would like to see what others think…

A week is usually rule of thumb for me if non-urgent

2-3 days

A day or two

Set the date in your request and follow that.

6 months

24 hour rule to reply to an email.
If you assigned something to someone, you should’ve specified a deadline in which case that would be the follow up date.

Partners - Do you ever take vacations?

I have been at my current firm for about 1.5 years, and in that entire time the partner in my group hasn't been out of the office a single time. Is that normal? I can't tell if it's standard for big law partners to not take time off, if the dynamics for my group may be different (only 1 partner in the entire group), or it the partner I work with is just a masochist.
