Can’t help feel like I’m excluded from certain files that I think would make me gain experience, being opportunities, work with different partners etc . Hate having to compare myself with others associates it just makes you lose so much confidence , make mistakes and I feel like partners they feel that.

How do you deal with a partner who critiques every little thing and is just a rude person. I am looking for suggestions beyond leaving the firm as I just lateraled, so that is not an option for me. Today, he messaged me on Jabber and said “next time, don’t tell the client we are scheduling a ‘call.’ Say ‘telephone call.’ It is important to be precise.” Besides stupid critiques, he is demeaning and demands I prioritize his work. (See below)

I hate my partner. There I said it.

How do you deal with a mid level who bosses you around and takes credit for your work? A mid level recently wormed their way onto a matter I’ve been helping a partner with for several months and has suddenly made it miserable (I’m a junior).

Would you feel comfortable telling HR that your service line’s culture sucks and name the individuals who cause it? Or is a better approach saying it’s the leadership in general creating a negative and toxic culture? How effective are these conversations really? Trying to assess if there’s any point in bringing this up. Obviously HR works for the company and an employee sharing their thoughts on the unsupportive, cold leaders could bite me in the long run.

*inspired by an earlier post…I’m a F and just found out that apparently men you work with are picturing you naked. Is there an age limit on this type of fantasy? Or are y’all really fantasizing about the hot MILFs in your office?

I’m in my first real job and I want to update my portfolio with some of the work I’m doing. How do I talk to my boss about this? I don’t want to overstep or show anything I’m not allowed to, but I find the conversation difficult for some reason.

So… I am working on a project with outside consultants that wraps up this week. I’m feeling some kind of “vibe” with one of the male consultants and I am wondering how to figure out if I am imagining things or whether there is actually something there. He lives is another state and it doesn’t seem likely our paths will cross again.

I hate that I have my bosses on my Facebook. I get mad when they keep liking others’ posts and ignore me, feel I’m judged on how I write on there, etc.

I feel like so much of the media discussion about people NOT going back to work is centered on POC. I have white coworkers just as frustrated. Is this just another example of how POC are having the authentic conversation no one else is willing to have?

One thing I like about my firm is that, if your intern sucks? You can just say they suck and they’ll get pulled off your job so you can focus on being efficient. I put considerable effort into 1: he’s never available, never finishes anything, never takes notes, doesn’t follow through on communication ever, zero initiative, and refuses to talk to anyone except 1 staff associate even when specifically directed otherwise. I can’t push pull or drag him if I tried (and I did). I don’t feel bad.

Looking for a decent work backpack that I can use when I am making international travel, I have a Tumi shoulder bag that is not best for international trips and DONT want a Tumi backpack and attack unnecessary attention..

Is it ok to discuss age at work? Do you tell people your age if they ask? I’ve had experiences in the past (non tech companies) where older coworkers change their perception of you if they find out you’re much younger than they are...If you have coworkers that ask about your age (especially around birthdays), what’s a good way to avoid telling them your age without coming off as rude?

My coworker always looks me intensely in the eyes when he speaks. I guess he does it to everyone but I'm the only one that seems to react to it. I always come off so submissive and sheepish when he does it. I feel like he notices and does it more now.

I'm not even submissive, it just reminds me of my crazy ex that I had great sex with. He used to blatantly stare at me watch me like prey before we dated. First time I experienced anything like that.

Anyone else still getting emails from their old boss 6 months after leaving the job asking for info/strategies/impressions on files they worked on? I left detailed file notes on every case I worked on before I left and had multiple debriefs.

Is it just me or Asian managers/senior managers are always harder to work with? Esp if they are female. Always give very STRICT deadlines and ridiculously high requirements and expectations.

I am definitely not gonna risk my career flirting with a coworker. Being fired or cancelled for that sorta thing would ruin not just my life but my family who I support. Lots of other fish in the sea over at competitor firm🧐

I will say this I love working with the students . I love getting to know them . I smile to myself when I go to work . I still feel this way after last week being asked my three different people about doing something where I told them that I was not going to do. following day I was then ambushed by admin (where I have never felt more like nothing. Following this encounter with people in charge I had an anxiety attack. This was terrible and I have no trust . TAs are mistreated. Similar story?

I teach freshmen who haven't met the only other single teacher in my department. Today, I asked one of them to take something to him and immediately kids started talking about how we were dating. Ugh.

Hi Fishes,

I come across many job descriptions for roles in corporate communications preferring experience in digital marketing. As a marcom person, I feel we should know how to use the digital platforms effectively rather than literally sit and work on the campaign tools. Please let me know if I am mislead.

I am so tired of my sister and mom, and the pressure they apply on me to get married, 32 year old female and I have not met someone yet. I was in a relationship last year for a year and he turned out to be a very mean person and they now don’t trust me at all and want me to marry the first nice guy I go on a date with even if I have no attraction at all, and if I go on a couple of dates and I don’t feel it, they question my judgement. I feel like dying from the pressure.

Got the back to office mail today.
What to do?
I don't want to leave home.

I’m interviewing for an associate position at my firm’s competitor. My main reason for doing this is because I don’t feel valued at my current firm and the pay at the competitor is substantially more. This obviously is not something I can say at my interview. But i need to be able say why I’m looking to move firms when it’s the same work in the same geographical area. Any thoughts?

First time home owner in US (Chicago). And the heat doesn't work well in our town home. Recently installed Nest thermostat and the temp continues to fall during the day after it heats up for a while. Any suggestions on check up costs. Nest suggest handy for $49 just for reviewing. Thanks

I lateraled after two years of bad reviews and failing to be promoted to the next class year at the firm I summered at. When I lateraled, I was brought on at the class year that matched my graduation year but was unsure if I had what it took to be a biglaw attorney. I had my annual review yesterday and was promoted (and received nothing but positive feedback). Sometimes it isn't you.

What do you think is going to happen with Trump’s legal troubles?

This bowl was originally created for black attorneys in big law, but since it’s the only bowl for black attorneys, many black attorneys in other sectors have joined. Some people are apprehensive about starting another bowl for all black attorneys because it will take away from this bowl. Assuming that the conversations & topics will stay the same, What are you thoughts on keeping this bowl solely for black in big law verses Opening this bowl to any black lawyer?
