For partners that have ever had to deal with ironing out some of the bad habits lateral hires get from smaller firms, what are some of those habits? How do you recommend not picking up in 1st place?

We had a guy who I shit you not, would take a shit in the copier (not on it, in it). Huge problem, huge mess, people would print stuff and there would be shit smears all over it. Management tried working with him, showing him repeatedly where the bathroom was. Ultimately unable to be fixed, and he had to be let go. Solid writer tho.

Co-Founder here. I have 25% of the company, and the other 2 cofounders have 10% and 65%. The 10% cofounder hardly does anything anymore. The 65% co-founder still seems dedicated and I think it’s largely because of sunk costs (this person put in most of the money). I don’t believe in the startup anymore, which seems to be a good indication it’s time to quit. Any advice for quitting and leaving your company in an even worse state as a result? Thanks 🙏

Hi, everyone! I am extremely passionate about issues such as climate change and gun violence, and how money in politics leads to inaction and disinformation regarding these issues. Does anyone have any insight as to where I should be looking for employment opportunities? Practice areas, the type of organization, traditional vs. non-traditional law jobs? Any help or guidance would be appreciated. I really want to make a change. Thank you!
