For your own good—don’t even consider Badlose

Do you want to do ECVC? If yes, Badlose might actually be a Goodwin! Haha! It is as good an option if not better than other firms that do that work well. They all laid people off and some are still not doing well. WSGR, Uncooley, Fenweak, and Blunderson have all behaved more poorly in the last 6-12 months than Badlose. Call me crazy, but if I had to pick any of those it’s Goodwin.

Would you people move on already? You’re living in the past!

Sounds like a badlose situation.

Given how much of their own c/o 2022 they laid off, I’d say to avoid. Unless you want to be part of their revolving door roster of hire-then-fire laterals, that is.

Wondering what I should do.

I realized recently that I can turn my “super associate” persona at any time. I had it off during covid when my kids needed me and got a bad review. So now it’s back on. I’m responding to midnight emails (and daytime ones in under 20 minutes) and getting work done the same morning. I’m spending countless hours doing edits over edits. I actually don’t like super associate. Why do people live like this 24/7?!? 🤔
