Did trivia today for a summer associate event. One of the questions was what month MLK day is in and everyone on my team said Feb instead of Jan. I definitely judged them lol 🥴.

Women in advertising / especially Creatives:

Why is it that when a young woman / a young creative fucks up, or maybe you don’t vibe or think they’re cool (because have you ever thought about how nervous female creatives are in a room and in their head? Not to mention WoC?!) that we DISMISS each other.

That we dont give second chances, that we don’t try to empathize, that we don’t try to ask questions — but instead we talk shit and gossip like we’re in HIGH SCHOOL (contd)

I have a partner who is big on dragging everyone to the office for a single 1 hour meeting, and then uses that as an excuse to dominate our schedules for the day. All of my calls are on my calendar and it’s well established that we all work for multiple teams- but he will just try to take over every second with constant questions, adding working sessions in the conference room to force me to work on his projects, again, after I’ve already communicated that I have other pipelines to tend to.

At what point should I be worried about my ability or inability as a lawyer? I’m a first year, but feel as though my office has very high expectations from top to bottom. Often placed on cases alone with a partner who is too busy to answer questions. Other times mid-levels sort of deflect when they don’t clearly communicate what they want done (e.g., “draft part of this brief” and gets upset when it isn’t up to snuff). Mainly, I am worried that I am failing at this and am not a good lawyer.

She said they had a busy week last week but will make a final decision this week - is the delay and radio silence a bad sign or is this typical for experienced hiring?
