Has anyone ever quit and told their boss part of the reason is because of their white supremacy?

Now a days, most of the HRs are not releasing offer letters in notice period, although we are submitting documents. Am I the one or anyone else also facing same ?

Does anyone think there is long-term viability in Cryptos?

Just started watching Start-up. How does everyone like it?

Anyone in Toronto looking for a CD? I need to make a change. Agency or in-house (if the in-house is cool.)

Change my mind: the talk around things shifting to a 'new normal' is overblown. Society's collective conscience is too short-term to enact massive changes to things we are comfortable (e.g., global warming). Yes, it will take awhile for offices to open back up, flights to be full, etc., but within 1-2 years things willbe mostly back to what they are like now and this massive structural shift will have never materialized.

I know that people say it’s all about story, but with a certain gpa/gmat score is there a “floor” that you’re safe on? For example would someone with 4.0/780 (not me) be pretty much assured at least 1 M7? Or is there a reasonable chance that all M7s will reject them? Or is their floor just lower (T15 for example)?

How is CGI work culture and Banglore office?

Any new shops in Canada doing good work?

Should I be happy because I still have a job or should I be mad and sad because I didn't get a rise? I'm underpaid and got a 9k raise through 4 years of work

Any thoughts on Doner in LA?

Do pharma agencies intentionally over-promote / inflate titles so you’re stuck and not really qualified to leave?

I'm going to yell at the next person that suggests "just talking on the phone all day" is easy. Telemarketing is the hardest job I've ever had

I’m a rebellious teenager trapped in a 30-year old woman’s body

Hey Londoners! I’m about to move to London and hunting for a place to live (on a mid-level salary).
Could you please share how much rent do you currently pay and where do you live (area/no. of rooms)?

I was hoping to live alone but everything seems over the top expensive

Does anyone feel like it’s difficult to gain acceptance and find allies when you’re a POC? I have attended happy hours, social events, and lunches, but I am not getting the same amount of traction as the other new lawyers who are white. Don’t know whether I should keep trying or just give up. Also don’t know whether it’s my personality or people at the firm. 😢

Who’s going to Cannes this year? DM me if so !

Can you lose your job if you don’t like the animosity from your creative team and speak up about it ? Genuinely worried I might be disrupting the peace by saying something 🥴 the anxiety is terrible! Do I just accept it that they don’t like me or speak up and potentially burn that bridge?

Favorite national park to visit in July/August?

What was your experience with the LSAT? Do you think it's gatekeeping, preventing students who can't afford it (often people of color) from entering the field? OR is it helping future attorney's of color by giving them a chance to go to a top school regardless of grades? I've seen questions about the LSAT all day and just want to know how people feel.

What are some good websites to use for searching and applying for job postings? I am looking to lateral and have been using LinkedIn and Indeed so far. Any other ideas?

Starting at a new firm, What can I do to leave a good first impression?

I’m a woman of color and my legal assistant is a white man…this feels…good?

Are y’all finding your white male bosses to be incompetent as hell or is just me? And they will milk you for all your brilliance and try to squeeze every ounce of labor out of you.

What's your typical work day look like? Where do you work/what size firm do you work at?

My work quality is slipping due to brain fog and mental health issues and I don’t know how to address it with my firm or who to go to. I was considered one of the best associates in our practice group, but now it can take me 3-4x the time to write an average brief. I can’t seem to think and organize my thoughts any more. This is incredibly scary bc obvi, that’s what this job is all about. I’m in IP litigation at a V50 firm and a mom. Do I raise it with partners and how?

Today is the first day of the new work week! What are your goals for this week?

Okay so I’m a newly licensed attorney in a very conservative part of TX. I just got my first job offer and I was worried at first thinking that I was in “Trump” territory, but I tested the waters in my interview and spoke about police injustices and how prosecutor’s job is not only to protect victims, but also defendants from police injustices. I have to let them know by tomorrow, but thoughts on if this is a good career move for someone who wants to work in transactional work-RE or Bankruptcy?

Any one here based out in the Middle East? If so, what's your experience. Would you recommend it. I am 32F - African Descent planning to relocate to the UAE.

Single black female. Late 30s, no kids. Is it better to practice in a smaller market that’s close to major cities, lots of professional opportunities, but no real single professional scene? OR be in a bigger pond/major city with more professional and networking opportunities, oversaturated with lawyers of color, more competition for professional opportunities, but bigger dating pool?

Does anyone in this group have ADHD? Are you finding that working in a law firm setting and billing hours is just not something they can do or is it possible with the proper medication and therapy?

I don’t cut my hours, I consistently reach 7 hours a day, but it’s not enough to meet my firm’s minimum requirement. I’m usually working 9 hours/day.

I feel like I'm going through really bad imposter syndrome, How do you manage it ?

I'm a younger plaintiff's side attorney (31). Does anyone else feel like white attorneys give you a particularly harder time? Like unreasonably denying clear facts, or trying to fish for a way to sanction you? Usually it's solo defense attorneys that get extreme with it, but I've seen some questionable stuff from BigLaw too. Hopefully I'm not the only one.

Ketanji did not come to play! Came out of the gate ready to fight and turn these racist arguments on their heads. The way she was dropping 14th Amendment bombs on that man made me so happy. And this is only her first day. I just hope they protect her well.

Does anyone know what the dress code is for the upcoming CAALA Trial Skills seminar? Do people usually wear suits or is it business casual? Thank you!

Not legal-related but: thoughts on A Jazzman’s Blues? I loved it. Been a while since a movie has stayed on my mind long after it ended, like this one has. Shocking Tyler Perry wrote it. “Paper Airplanes” is a hauntingly beautiful song.

0 partners of color in group of 20 partners

Was told the lack of diverse partnership was because there wasn’t good minorities to hire. How do I even address this stupidity.

Have you ever joined a firm purely based on how many POC would be in your practice area?
