Got a ton of shit this week for skipping the company ‘get fucked up’ party - how do I push back against complaints/crap-giving without being a d-bag? I’m 22 and just not interested 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’d attend in the future- just show up, say hi to everyone and ghost after 30 minutes - by then they are probably on round 2 and will start to get too buzzed to notice or care. Def make an appearance tho- these things are important whether or not you are interested (and I feel the same way you do about them). Better go for a short time than deal with them talking about so and so not bring there - trust me, that talk (right or wrong) is never good for your career. Pretend to care.

Have you ever been told off by an older attorney of color?

I don't think I've ever had a bad attitude at work, and whatever "tone" I'm speaking in it's my normal one. As a Black woman I just feel super weird about it and kind of sad.
