Fellow ladies with law degrees:

Can you record a coworker that harasses you in order to use it against him in court or mediation?

What's the process for leaving the firm? Is there a formal process that I have to go through or do I just tell my PML that I took another opportunity and I'm out in 2 weeks?

Any EA's do things to help improve the day of the person they support without them knowing and the person is oblivious?

Started in FDD as an S1 from audit a couple months ago and got put on a messy deal with just me and a director who is very “hands off” and I’m very overwhelmed 😅

When you tell your manager you are unhappy and they are excited that you are putting your notice and don't try and make any changes b/c the new person/persons they are lining up will just cleanup and make it better.

Then, they get here and you are left to train them on everything you do and your manager keeps saying "I owe you an apology" because they didn't realize how taxing and mind wrecking most processes you handled were... welcome to corporate

I just picked up a new freelance gig after coming out (again 😮‍💨) but professionally and they're really respecting my pronouns! They did a whole thing where they're having people add their pronouns to their email signature too 🥰

They never make a deal out of it and if they mess up they correct and move right along. They're from the Midwest and some of the team is older too so its really nice 😅

Just wanted to share the good news and say it very much is possible to have people respect them☺️

Fashion Q: what kinds of pants do you guys wear day-to-day? I know skinny jeans are considered “out,” but super baggy mom jeans are not flattering on my small frame. I wear leggings when I’m WFH, but I want to look slightly more put-together/fashionable outside my home

What quirks of your team members drive you crazy? I have a teammate who never silences his phone. He also happens to chew loudly, with his mouth open.

Honest question here-hw do I work better with Indians who come over frm India(on-site) to client?My patience with them is at an all time low since they jst dnt gt the methodology & hate owning anythng

I wish I could tell my lead how much i like him.

PS: He's engaged.

My boss asked me to submit my career aspirations after bringing in someone in a new position over me. Is this a bill shit assignment? Has anyone else ever asked to do this?

Any recommendations for a work desk?
Not looking for something too big or pricey. Easy assembly / disassembly is a plus.
I see foldable desks going for $100. Any foldable standing desks out there?

I am in Team A and I work for projects handled in Team B. A handles a completely different product than B. I have been strategically placed in A as I'm in a quality related role & they didn't want me be reporting to the same manager as the project team

Now my concern is, my manager at A doesn't have any insight about my role, or how I perform, or what kind of opportunities that can be given me
How do I politely convey this concern to him?

(He is a first time manager & I just joined recently)

Just spent some time in Chicago for work and I love it. What is the main type of PR done there (media or other)? How is work culture, meeting people, dating scene? I’m in NY now

How often are you talking and meeting with your director?

29% of your rejected candidates will completely sever their relationship with your company if they have a negative experience.

Sometimes I come in early or work late just so I don't have to listen to my partner talk.

How do you professionally address a noticeable lack of diversity on your team? More than 85% of my team is white or white passing, and of the remaining individuals none are Black, Indigenous, or AAPI.

Reps how do you handle when a producer requests reels from you then doesn’t watch a single one and completely ghosts you after submission?

How do you deal with making mistakes at work? I’ve been doing good work lately but there’s one partner who thinks I’m mistake prone and I just made a mistake on something he asked me to do, but I corrected it quickly. However, there is public record of my mistake.

Which firm do you dislike working with the most and why?

I was recently promoted, and now part of my team report to me. I'm now able to see their pay rates and I am honestly so disappointed in the company. Especially since we just gave annual raises in Feb, plus we can all see where the money is going and it's not to the employees. Makes me sick

Need to travel to Canada for some urgent work, can I do the mandatory quarantine at a friends place? He’s got an empty apartment. TIA

What do you guys think the salary range should be for a 5th year lit associate at a boutique shop in NYC? Sophisticated clients, mostly international work, well known in their practice areas. Obviously it’s not going to be market, but still curious as to thoughts on rough ballpark. High 1s, low 2s? +/- ??

I NEED A SYNONYM FOR “EXPERIENCE". As in, “experience amazing bullshit innovation like never before.” -it’s a luxury product no one needs but needs to be “elevated”. I’ve used experience too much.

There are two kinds of people in this world: those who wrap and Velcro their AC cords, and those who constantly have to untangle a handful of wires. Which one are you?

I am a new (lateral) associate at a small firm where everyone currently works from the office. When I started, I wasn’t told specific firm hours. I’ve tried to figure out when to come and go based upon when the partners arrive and leave, but their schedules are very inconsistent. The other associates don’t have helpful guidance for me. Assuming that if I ask the partners they’ll say to use my discretion, what are reasonable hours to keep?

Hey all I'm looking to find good places to maybe get some product sold I'm new to all this and just got put on as an ambassador for Raze Energy. Where can I go to get sales up?

Leading with our values my ass. This was a disappointing response, especially compared to ATK

How does your firm measure utilization? I work for a small boutique that defines it as utilization = number of billable hours/2,080 and full bonus payout occurs at 80% plus.
