To be a top performer because there's just not enough hours in the day or week for project, firm initiatives, learning etc. I'm not even thinking about me time or hobbies. How do you all cope? Any strategies that work? Oh and my husband is very supportive but he works full time in tech

Strong work boundaries, FAMILY TIME is marked on my calendar with OOO notice. I will not accept meetings regularly at this time. It does mean I have to start a bit early and then maybe 1-2 days a week I might work late but its OK atm. Eventually my kid will not go to sleep at 7pm, but until then split shifts. I might get back online at 7pm though usually my brain is done and I go to bed by 9pm anyway.

I am generally uncomfortable when I’m around my mother-in-law’s husband.

While he is overall a decent guy, his anger issues, yelling at his wife for the slightest issue, and insulting nature makes me uncomfortable and triggers my own anger due to his blatant disrespect for just about everyone around him.

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).

I’m in-house at a small company (60 people), started right out of law school about 5 years ago. We had a legal team of 5 then. Everyone has left and we just hired a new GC. I went from $70k to $100k a little over a year ago. I am expecting an offer from a firm doing business law work but think this might be an opportunity to go to my current employer and ask for a significant raise, with new offer in hand. Any thoughts or advice going into this?

Is this okay?
