Yes. I’m on medical leave now for 2 months,
although I can always go back earlier.

For clarity, my leave is for a medical issue that affects mental as a byproduct.

12 months.

6 months. Take care of yourself.

I didn’t take a sabbatical, but someone in my group left at the beginning of June until the end of the year. It feels more like they’re on secondment than gone - nobody is going to forget them. Caveat: they are a senior and my practice group is relatively small

If you’re not competent enough to solve real problems in the organization, create a few minor problems that you can solve and look like a hero.

But you have to ensure the org feels the pain of your decision before promising to fix it. It’s like the three parts of a magic trick: the pledge where you float your idea, the turn where you inflict your idea, and the prestige where you fake a way to fix the mess you made on purpose.

Only works managing up, tho.

Litigators—how many different cases are you on?

Been feeling spread too thin lately but I don’t know whats typical. Curious what others do. And would you mind sharing whether you’re a junior, midlevel, partner, etc??

I realize sheer number of cases doesn’t tell the whole story… obviously you can be buried on one massive case. I’m finding it hard to jump back and forth between everything I have going on right now, though, but I don’t know if the answer is to just deal with it.
