For the natural girls: is a perm set or/and flexi rod set considered unprofessional, especially if you’ve only been working at the firm for a few weeks

Why do people put “Ex- previous company” on their bios? You no longer work there, presumably for a reason, either you didn’t fit the role, or the company didn’t suit you…
I also used to be a toddler, but I don’t feel the need to out that on my bio, and to be fair, if someone wants to see my@previous experience, they can just see my profile 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Interview tomorrow with a startup. Feel weird about wearing a full suit, even sans tie. Suggestions?

Has anyone ever been coached/talked to regarding your appearance? As in 'you need to look more professional'? Or is that cosidered not PC?

Any Asian who feel less valued while working in the US when none are from your community? Its a helpless situation when these partners hire you from a short term perspective.

Care to share a few tips on how establish a direct relationship with partners? I’m a second year associate in assurance. Our team is very competitive not only in auditing but also in social events. Our team does not sit in the same room with partners and sometimes we don’t see the partners in months. I have worked for the same partners and still don’t think I know them.

Why do i feel like I'm the least liked person in my group by the managers.
I work so hard, almost on the top of the group every time. I have got my team recognition by my work . Still for no reason people justly ignore me n my work. Not when i do even s sought mistake though. They avoid appreciating me as much as they can. This is literally depressing .
And it is due to my nature only because it is not about one or two managers or persons it's about every person in my life.
Even my parents

My boss the general manager is setting me up at work. She is saying all this stuff about me that is not true at all. But when I come into her shift or come into my shift after hers nothing is done for me. A lot of the prep is not done. And she complains about me not doing the prep. Stuff Is still dirty. One day she left the grill on. Etc. There was another manager there training to run another store and she said I basically do a lot of the work while she doesn't do much. So she stood up for me.

I was fired with someone else’s number and never got a proper write up . I was with the company for eight years. I didn’t have a write up before that one. This seems to happen within two months of me reporting my manager for unlawful recruiting practices.

Hello,

I got a letter from my apartment regarding unlawful detainer.

The apartment refused to take our rent for almost 4 months because it was paid in a personal check and not cashier’s check.

I have 5 days to respond, what should I do please?

I lateraled after two years of bad reviews and failing to be promoted to the next class year at the firm I summered at. When I lateraled, I was brought on at the class year that matched my graduation year but was unsure if I had what it took to be a biglaw attorney. I had my annual review yesterday and was promoted (and received nothing but positive feedback). Sometimes it isn't you.

I am an unmarried working man in his 30s with a southern mother. In other words I'm flying home for Christmas and my mother just called to tell me that she just happened to accidentally run into the sweetest girl from her church that she just knows I'll get along with and accidentally invited her to our house for dinner the night that I get home. Deadass the woman will not rest until I am tied down. Pray for me!

When, or if you set time aside to take care of yourself or do something for yourself, what do you do? I'm realizing I don't really have any "healthy" ways of relaxing outside of work, so drop whatever you got. It's starting to affect my personal life and I'm worried I won't be able to have healthy relationships unless I can take care of myself first.

I've wondered about this because of so much news from the Supreme Court, do you think people are losing respect for Supreme Court? Especially when it seems justices are trying to move power to the state level?

I've decided to do a podcast on managing attorneys and how associates can handle some crazy situations at work. Any topics you all can think of that would be beneficial?

Probably dong have all the clout to get partners to tune in but looking to help associates with things.
