Sorry, OP. Good luck, and hope you can learn from this and move forward.

Work on it = take concrete steps to remedy it. Do counseling. Or a program. Make a plan/schedule and execute on it. Then talk to your coach and a partner you can confide in. Try to knock those it as early as possible, so that when the time comes for the check the blow would have been softened and they'll make fun of you instead of fire/discipline you.

Why do you have an internal background check?

SA1 - what’s your situation

switching groups @p3. Have to effectively get re hired

We all make mistakes OP. Hope you regret what you did, and if so, wish you the best.

Do you have a more senior SM or Partner that you trust? Do not wait until it comes back from HR and do not disclose to HR first. you need to actively manage with the leadership in the practice you are leaving and the leadership in the practice you are going to. If you let HR learn about it before leadership does, you might get screwed. And lawyer up.

People here are ridiculous. You don't just lawyer up for every damn thing. OP, you'll be fine. Now, if you were transferring to Canada, that's a whole different story. Any DUI is considered a felony there.

Consider call like the ‘help line’ and having rehab options so that you are ‘in treatment’ before disclosing

Which group are you switching to?

It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞
