Thoughts on sending a draft to the client late weekend evening (11:30pm sat night 😬)? It’s not urgent but they were bugging me for it earlier in the week and I just finished with it.

Seems fine. If they followed up on it, get it to them. They’re the client. They’ll read it when they want.

Don't be part of what makes the world of lawyers so toxic. If you make yourself so readily available, someone will take advantage of you (probably your boss). Stay off that radar of hyper-availability and hyper-efficiency. Schedule the email with the attached document to be sent at 8:30 am on Monday. Click send and forget.

Hello, I am a junior business administrator working in advisory operations. I have been with the company for 6 months, and was employed along with 2 other colleagues. I have picked the job up really fast and am even doing some “extra curricula’s” I really love my job. However I have recently found out I am being paid the same as an apprentice on my team, I usually do at 3 x the work he does whilst also doing my Cert CII. It has really disheartened me and I feel I should be earning more money

Completely and totally miserable at my firm and just need a space to vent because my friends are tired of hearing about it. I wish the worst part about it was the amount of work, rather than the completely toxic culture, lack of appreciation, arbitrary and back/breaking deadlines, lack of mentorship/feedback/training, and the fact that the associates act like they don’t even know each other. I cry every day and constantly am made to feel stupid for not understanding the highly technical (cont.)
