Have any of you approached your employer for reimbursement for being asked to use your phone at work? Specifically things like texting your boss while they are in court? I started a new job and am trying to set boundaries but this is one that I cannot set as it is standard practice. In our state, an employer must reimburse you if they direct you to use your personal phone for work. It seems petty, but I’m trying to (rightfully) cash in on something that I would rather not have to do.

Have a client who agreed to get a few friends together for a dinner. All his friends are doctors. I dont want to make this feel like an event or like they're being sold. Any pointers?

What are your tips and ticks for dealing with nonresponsive clients? (Ex. Won’t return calls, emails, only answer half your email so you have to ask the other questions again). Finding it very time consuming to constantly be following up.

Any tips for being better at “informal mentee-ship ”? Im a new joiner who feels like remote means I’m not really learning nearly as much as I can from my team. That said, I can recognize the benefits of WFH and so want to learn to improve while not excluding the remote possibility.

My coworker always looks me intensely in the eyes when he speaks. I guess he does it to everyone but I'm the only one that seems to react to it. I always come off so submissive and sheepish when he does it. I feel like he notices and does it more now.

I'm not even submissive, it just reminds me of my crazy ex that I had great sex with. He used to blatantly stare at me watch me like prey before we dated. First time I experienced anything like that.

what are you go-to brands for work clothes?

My organization absorbed another and the former deputy PM became a branch head - a demotion. For org was more focused on tech dev and not delivering a product on a sked. New org is very focused on that. He is not a driving leader, but is the only one with the tech knowledge needed. He is retirement eligible. He has no heir apparent - previous org didn’t plan that way. If I move him under someone who is a driver - he retires and I lose the knowledge. If I don’t, we may not meet schedules. Advice?

I will say this I love working with the students . I love getting to know them . I smile to myself when I go to work . I still feel this way after last week being asked my three different people about doing something where I told them that I was not going to do. following day I was then ambushed by admin (where I have never felt more like nothing. Following this encounter with people in charge I had an anxiety attack. This was terrible and I have no trust . TAs are mistreated. Similar story?

Bankers are those magical creatures who can work for 14 -18 hours straight but somehow will still go out with their team to dinner, drinks, and probably more drinks. I'll take it.

Met with partner and law clerk "associate-to-be" to discuss work to be done on a specific matter. Partner issued each of us specific tasks. One week later, the law clerk wants to discuss tasks and what needs to be done. Appears to me the clerk is going to shift his tasks onto me. Advice appreciated.

Has anyone ever gone on disability at a law firm where you’re the only paralegal to the partner of the firm? I’m worried I’ll be replaced while I’m out or that I’ll be letting him down. I’m already behind on my workload so I can imagine how backed up and out of touch I will be when I come back. I don’t want to let him down. I’ve been with the firm 5 years and I’m really his right hand. But I am concerned about it.

I have my first case review I am kind of nervous about it, wish me luck. I am not scared, I am just nervous about it.

I had been applying for several positions with a well known company since 2019 but never heard back. A few months ago I applied and wasn’t expecting to hear back, but then a recruiter reached out to me via phone maybe a month or two later. I was a taken a back and probably wasn’t as friendly over the phoneas I normally would be. At the end of the call she let me know that one of her recruiting assistants will reach out to schedule an interview. I’m not going to lie, I didn’t really take the…

Anyone pass a paralegal certification test? If so, which one and would you recommend?

Ever been let go before your billable time entries were in? Was let go today and not all of my time made it in as it was due next week. I’m expecting a heavy payout but I’m wondering if they can withhold since my billables are not in? Seems like their loss at this point.

Paralegal in India here primarily in M&A law and white collar investigation and advisory and wanted to know whether there are any Paralegal certifications that are globally recognised and worth pursuing?
