How common is it to get fired without having had explicit conversations with supervisors about the quality of our work/in the absence of major red flags? I know it’s happened to a few of you but is it the exception or more frequent than we think? How much should one read into subtle “signs” in the absence of such conversations?

Happy Friday!!

Resume question I've had three positions over my career one of which lasted 3 months and that I got fired from, the job search took an additional 2 months. Is it worth it to leave the 3 month stint off my resume? It might be easier to explain getting fired then a 5-month gap I was thinking

What to do with a candidate who calls me even on a Sunday and bugs me?

I'd like to surround myself with more positivity, namely positive people. I'm finding it so difficult to do while at work though - I feel like I'm constantly surrounded by negativity.

Im wondering if anyone knows what the “rules” are re: being contacted while out on leave. My VP has said she’ll be texting me if she needs anything, and while I don’t want to be unhelpful,I REALLY don’t want to think about work at all while I’m out. Are there any guidelines regarding what is and isn’t ok in this context? Im thinking if it gets to be too much I’ll be very slow to respond and train her to not expect to hear back quickly, and she can find answers for herself. Any insights?

Does Globant terminates the employment of certain trainees after their probation(3 Months) based on their performance in the training period? Some of the fresher trainees were laid off this morning without giving a notice or reason.

So countdown is on to last day...what do I need to do before I leave?

What’s the easiest way to save all the Google slides I’ve created (as an Art Director) when I leave an agency? It’s so tedious sharing with your personal Gmail account (to give yourself access) then saving a copy. Is there a quicker way? In the past, it was all created in a local program like InDesign so this wasn’t an issue.

I’m not looking for an intellectual property discussion. This is about saving my own ideas to look back over if I need to.

Any tips/tricks for the UBE, particularly the MEE or MPT portions? I did a couple practice MPTs but largely ignored it because most samples are simplified work tasks (memos, letters, whatnot). What did you do for MPT prep? Was it sufficient?

Thanks everyone!

How did you get into your area of law? I have been licensed for 5 years and I still don't know where I ultimately want to be. I started as a line attorney and after 3 years, I moved to a non-litigation position working for the state. I feel lost. I have thought about getting MBA to compliment my JD. I was a good litigator but I had trouble turning off my brain and being present with my family when I was a litigator, so I don't think I would want to go back.

Getting really frustrated with my job. Im by far the busiest associate my year level, and there are 2 people in my group who literally have no work at all. I feel like I keep missing targets and the partners are disappointed in me, but it’s hard to motivate when I see others not doing anything. I know I should be grateful bc the partners think I’m better than the others (and job security) but I can’t seem to convince myself to care.

Am I making enough profit for my firm?

I became a 2 year lawyer in September. I started working at my firm, a mid-sized firm practicing commercial business litigation and PI, in March of 2020. Last year I made the firm $180k from my billable hours and I was paid $85k + full health and other benefits.

This year, I'm on track to make about $150k and to make the firm about $450k from my billable hours and PI cases that I originated and settled.

Trying to do right for my firm. I'm treated well.
