Happy humpday! I’m trying to get a sense of who’s in the bowl and the types of orgs, agencies and companies folks work for to have a sense of what would be helpful content to share. I’ll start, I’m an attorney at a civil rights nonprofit (going on five years) and previously worked for the fed govt.

My client is telling me about how painful she finds PAID overtime. While she gets💰, I get %.. & utilization doesn't pay the bills!

Lauren May and Nicole Wright - Ogilvy

R/GA - they are the worst. Some of the people they have hired over the years makes me wonder if their HR department is smoking crack

I selected a Lenovo laptop but was sent a Dell. What's the chances I'll be able to request a replacement with a Lenovo after onboarding? I want a Lenovo because I'm love my TrackPoint nub!

Exhausted by entitled clients that are just plain nasty. Is it just me or are clients everywhere getting more demanding and treating their agencies worse?

Been with my GF since college and we recently hit the 4 year mark. 1-2 years into our relationship I found out she had instances of micro-cheating (flirting with guys, talking to ex’s etc - but nothing physical) and we addressed it. To her credit and my knowledge, she’s been apologetic and great at respecting boundaries since, but I still feel the pain from her actions years ago (and have talked to her about it). Feeling lost about whether to just leave or to try and work things out

Hulu commercial times are getting out of hand

Anyone else buy a lunch box only to use shopping bags instead? I can’t be the only one. Lunchbox has been empty in my trunk for the last year. Used it maybe 3 times.

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together. It was such a beautiful relationship but ultimately he just didn’t love me. I love him so much. My mind knows that I deserve reciprocal love and I’m worthy, but I feel physically ill. My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao

Curious - sometimes I see people online on Slack and offline for Chime, but then others are offline Slack and online Chime. How do I tell who’s actually online with their computer open?

Trying to avoid paying an accountant, can I actually write off home office space/mileage if I was just permalancing for 3 months last year? Shouldn’t the 7 months of W2 take care of this 1099 shit?

Looking for inspiration from real people versus youtubers..

Post a picture of your home office. Starting my first WFH job and I'm looking for ideas! Top accessories? 13x13 guest room is the desired location. TIA 😊

EY people: has anyone heard from immigration today? I’m losing hope

Hey so like - newfound reason for my procrastination since I got on Ritalin - a tendency towards "putting things off so I can enjoy the hyperfocus later". When I just started taking the meds I was super effective for a few weeks but now my brain seems to be figuring out ways around the drugs 🤦🏻‍♀️ any ideas on how to not fall back into procrastination behaviours?

Any consulting companies with offices in the Bay Area feel they have a good in-person work culture? Being able to connect with colleagues matters a lot to me and I’m hoping to hear which companies have a strong and connected community out by SF! :)

Hi everyone, I had a major surgery and am looking to find a remote position involving anything that isn’t 100% commission based or cold calling/agent positions. Looking to make $25-35 an hour, and have had long term positions such as Clinical Secretary & Receptionist/Administrator, Accounts Payable Clerk, Team Lead, and Sales Associate. I’m willing to try new things and am a very quick learner, and can handle multitasking and high pace. Does anyone know of any good work from home positions?

I want to become a better people manager. I haven’t ever gotten any formal training in this and now my career will demand it. Any training, conferences, books you good folks recommend?

For the nonprofit attorneys here: What do you do on a daily basis? What skills and competencies do you utilize the most? What are the most pressing legal issues affecting 501c orgs?

Senior attorney compensation: I am discussing an opportunity with a Midwest nonprofit doing environmental work. I am curious about salary ranges for someone bringing 20+ years experience and 10 years specific experience, including lots of litigation experience. Chicago area. What is a reasonable offer?

I’m about to whistleblow on my non-profit organizations’s bad ethics, potential mismanagement of funds for personal/family gain, disregard for health/safety concerns, and their retaliation against employees for bringing up those concerns. They have a plan to fire my coworker and I already for making safety complaints.

Does anyone know of any good employment lawyers? Potentially any willing to take a pro bono case for public benefit?

Seeking a payroll service. Anyone with experience with Gusto v. Patriot?

What's the best career advice you've received?

Any online volunteering opportunities that need volunteers?

What’s the best or helpful advice for those seeking to transition into the nonprofit world?

My friend is a 4th year public defender in NYC. T14 grad and easily one of the smartest, most capable attorneys and professionals I know. He finally hit the limit and is looking to pivot out of PD work when she moves to Oregon next year. Does anyone have any experience seeing this PD - private practice transition happen? Hes open to basically anything in the litigation space so long as it pays better. Any advice?

Does anyone know of a public defender making the transition to private practice? Either civil or crim? If so I’d greatly appreciate hearing about the process and transition. 3rd year PD in Brooklyn looking to switch.

Happy hump day! What's one thing you want to improve about your nonprofit?

Good morning! Getting ready for the big snowstorm today by exploring this Bowl. Looking forward to connecting and learning from my peers.

Have your nonprofits announced a return back to the office from WFH? My org is scheduled to return after labor day.

Happy Friday! Does your org offer summer Fridays? My org is closed on Fridays in August.

Does anyone happen to know what the salaries are like at Legal Services of New Jersey? I can’t find salary scales online. Wondering if they are comparable to Legal Services of NYC.

Any nonprofits looking to outsource appeal letter writing? I'm looking for contract opportunities. Thanks!

I’m an immigration paralegal but I have an MA in human rights. I’ve been working at my org for 2 1/2 years but I don’t see an upwards growth for me unless I go to law school but that is really expensive and it’ll take a few years. I’ve tried to seek promotion to Senior paralegal but I’ve been told I don’t have enough experience. Does anyone have any advice on what organizations may be interested in hiring someone with my experience?

Has anyone heard of or worked for the nonprofit Open Plans, inc in NY?
