Conversely, does anyone know how to appear or be offline on jabber but still make or take calls through jabber? Our firm disables the "appear offline" mode but one associate still appears offline to me but is able to call me via jabber.

I hate jabber. All of our leadership keeps theirs disabled but associates can't turn it off.

I saw several seniors at my firm “appear away” all the time and started doing the same. I still have no life and am online all the time but at least don’t have to think about this🤕

Just set Teams to always show you as offline.

My 5yr old son and 3 yr old daughter love watching Ryan’s World videos. My son said it will be awesome if Ryan can come to our church. I’m not sure if Ryan is a Christian. I told my son that we should pray that Ryan will get to know Jesus and he could one day come to our church. Now Ryan and his family is included in our prayer every night before going to sleep. I never thought about praying for the people that are in the videos my kids watch. Jesus can use Ryan to change world.

Anyone else just sitting around waiting for the ax to drop? I'm a soon to be 2nd year corporate associate who has seen work completely dry up.

Aside from letting people know I'm available and doing pro-bono/CLE, it's starting to feel like a serious "covidcation" leading to termination.

I’m currently a third year litigation associate in BL that will not hit the bonus this year due to a slow first half. Most of my hours are coming from two larger matters, and its been difficult to get staffed on new cases when those are slow. I’m contemplating a lateral move bc I am stuck/typecast on one or two matters and want to pursue a broader practice, and am not getting enough hours for good reviews/bonus/job security. Struggling with decision because I like my current firm. Any thoughts?

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?
