I’m confused. Doesn’t your firm just save everyone’s number to your phone?

My firm auto populates everyone’s work cell number in my phone, along with their personal cell number if they opt to include it. My practice group also has a separate list of everyone’s personal phone numbers for emergencies, etc. I don’t really understand how you wouldn’t have these numbers for WFH.

I have every partners cell. Our firm automatically has the entire firm directory including work and cell phone numbers in everyone’s phones. Yours doesn’t?

Nope (thank god). I would honestly hate that.

Just curious to see what the norm was. And also trying to make myself feel better that I’ve basically memorized the cell numbers of the 2 main partners I work with…

I sure do. Easier to screen calls when you know whose calling!

Yep

Our firm passes around an excel sheet with the cell numbers in case someone needs to get ahold of somebody. Everyone is pretty respectful with it

The three I work with, yes. We never call each other unexpectedly. Ever.

Just one

6 on my personal phone.

But do the partners constantly text you on weekends and during the workday? I’ve silenced them all but it’s made me hate my cell phone

I'll text partners to tell them to read the email I just sent. Smallish office of massive global firm.

Of course! I have everyone’s cell.

Do you have the phone numbers for any of the partners’ daughters is the better question.

Yes, I have all of the partners in my group in my personal and work phone

I don't know who needs to hear this, but I have a few former classmates and colleagues sweating over lateral interviews. Take a deep breath and relax.

First, doing these interviews does not define you as a person.

Second, take it one day at a time; if they are moving forward, they see something in you.

Third, remember that the people interviewing you are human beings. Connect with them, be personable.

Had someone lateral into our firm as a fifth year (soon to be sixth). They were kind of a retool and went from small law to the firm I’m at. They are still learning a lot of basic stuff, and I think it’s weird that the firm hired someone at that level as a retool. They sometimes ask me for help with stuff, but I’m just getting annoyed at this point. Can I just say “no” since they’re about to be a mid/senior associate who should know all of this?
