We won business virtually. And doing pretty well financially compared to the rest of the industry. So far, jobs are secure. Even people who can’t actually work because they need to be in the office like mailroom. Big cheers to our HQ in Paris. 👏👏👏

I was fortunate to find a new job during this time. Very grateful. Career change, so it’s my first job outside of advertising. 9 to 5. No late nights or weekends. And no timesheets!

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?
