have you experienced sexual harassment at work? What did you do about it?

There have been a lot of posts recently about appropriate gifts to give paralegals and assistants during the holidays, but I have a question about being in the receiving end of gifts from attorneys.
I just got the kindest handwritten thank you note and “just because” gift in the mail last week from one of my attorneys. How should I respond? I don’t work in the office with her, but I was so touched by how thoughtful this was and was wondering if I should respond beyond just thanking her?

Ok so if I use the Snapchat makeup filter on my zoom call is it super obvious/ look silly? I'm taking about that really subtle one that clears your face up and adds subtle "eyeliner". Do you know what I'm talking about? I don't want to put makeup on for calls but I look washed out without it lol.

I just found out a new colleague was brought on at 20% higher salary than my current salary. (Have been w/ firm 1.5 years) She doesn’t have a 4-year degree (working on it).

Just discovered a public slack channel (that very much should have been private) that a few women at my work have been using to bitch about the co-workers they don’t like.

Do any real estate lawyers out there know of/can direct me to a ROFO agreement to purchase commercial property? I’m working on one now (but using a ROFO to purchase equity interests as a basis) and would like to see what other people are doing.

Also, are there any provisions you’d consider absolutely crucial from the owner’s side?
