I do not but I’m not socially transitioned yet so still present as my assigned at birth gender. But a few times I’ve discussed including pronouns in signatures and conveyed that I don’t because I know it can make some people uncomfortable by “forcing their hand.”

How did you give notice you were lateraling to people you like? Particularly if you haven't been there that long?

I'm lateraling to another firm because frankly I think the management of this one is terrible, but the people (and individual partners) I actually work with are awesome. I've only been here for about 18 months, so I imagine that short time frame will make it extra awkward 😬

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something.
