How do you deal with rude patrons at restaurants?

What are your thoughts on having your webcam on/off for meetings with prospects? Do you have them turn it on, differences in industries for value of face-to-face, etc?

A company didn’t follow through with a scheduled intro phone call. I emailed during the time scheduled to see if something had come up & after as well to reschedule. No one answered me or followed up. I can’t help but feel like this is a little red flag. If you can’t follow though on an intro call… what’s your HR & the rest of the company doing? 😬

We have a high paying client that texts us ( me the other associate and the partner) at a late hour - usually 3 a.m. the first time the client did it, the partner wasn’t on the thread so I told him about it and he said he’d talk to the client. Now the client is doing it again. It has once again disturbed my sleep and I can’t go back to sleep when I start my work day in 2 hours. I’m pissed. What should I do?

I'm done getting paid 1/3 of the class teacher pay and expected to teach the lessons. The other Paras in the class seem to think this is normal. I certainly don't get the same respect as the teacher. Am I alone here?

I have had a 60%+ increase in volume from this time last year, but we have not had a new hire in my role to assist with the influx. Additionally, others in my department are overworked and they're delegating down to me.

So not only do I gave more work than ever, I'm doing tasks outside my original role

My supervisor cant get headcount approvals. We are suffering as a department. I don't want to overrule him, but should I go to HR?I'm breaking down at this point and see evidence others are too

Anyone had their work straight up laughed at (in a bad way) in a meeting? Is this par-for-the-course or should I start packing?

I’m managing a team of juniors. So I find when presenting our ideas I say we all thought of these as a team. But today someone seemed aggravated with it. For background I call out those key players in my one on ones with my manager but am I in the wrong by not doing it in the presentation? I’m new to managing and I’m still learning so I would love any advice when dealing with this type of situation.

Is it weird to reach out to a CD you interned for in the summer of ’14? I absolutely loved working with him, but I’m afraid he won’t remember me as it’s been 3~ years since we spoke. Reach out or nah?

Random question, my boss wants me to become a notary so I can handle notarizing all of the official documents myself. Has anyone else been asked to do this for their employer? Is it ethical?

My firm rarely fires associates right away and instead just stops giving them work until they literally have no work and then will fire them and say it’s because their hours aren’t good. How common is this and why do firms do it? It seems incredibly cowardly.

My editor-in-chief is, let’s just say, not the most agreeable person. Tips on working better with people you strongly clash with?

For ID attorneys - can someone explain the perks for being a partner in ID? At my firm they barely bill above a junior associate. It makes me somewhat sad because I know these partners are very intelligent and their time is obviously worth more than what they the amount they bill.

Any recs on what to wear for FAANG virtual interview? Always wore button down shirt and blazer for consulting (am a girl). Feel like tech is more casual/should I ditch the blazer? Role is for Strategy if that matters.

I work in a firm of about 20 lawyers. In some depts staff are fantastic. In others, they are lazy, show zero initiative, don’t follow instructions, etc, so I waste my time doing admin tasks. Contd

Each year I buy my staff a small Christmas present as a thank you for all the hard work. I have a senior who is a 25 yr old guy and I have no clue what to get him. Suggestions?

Could use some help with an awkward dynamic.

My Dept has been tapped to help another dept promote a DEI study. The client dept has hired a consultant in this area. The challenges I see with this consultant's work style:

-dominating conversations
-micromanaging things outside her area
-steering things toward her own promotion over our company's agenda
-people in my dept (mostly white) are visibly uncomfortable and reluctant to interrupt or contradict her (black woman)

(Cont'd)

Does anyone else feel guilty after withdrawing from a case? (Withdrew after Client ignored my legal advise and failed to comply with the Court’s Orders) but now I feel like I abandoned her.

Wondering how to deal with a passive aggressive partner who thinks they are the victim!

Hear me out! I left my 15 year career in the corporate world to pursue being a realtor.1) It was never boring

Today my boss took away my reportees just because I backed them. He told me that they cannot have long lunch break as they are contracters . I disagree with him and he immediately told me that it would be better to assign them to a different manager. How can I raise this with Hr ?

Wondering: how many of us have wanted to be more explicit in educating about LGBT+ issues, development, history (etc.) But couldn't due to a significant barrier? If this is you what was the barrier?

I took the role I am in about a year ago and it just has not been what was promised and a huge step back. I have found a good place and am content but not overly happy with my place in the company. A smaller competitor reached out for a vp position that is a huge step up responsibility wise. There would be a pay raise but not huge so money is not the motivator here. Is this crazy to seriously consider? I hate to burn bridges. I have been told I am on the partner fast track. Thoughts? Advice?

I’m a 1styear, and there’s one other junior associate of color in my group.
The partner I work for keeps calling me her name. For ex: my name is “Sara” and her name is “Jasmine”. Names not similar, we don’t look alike - but I suppose we are about the same complexion. I can’t help but think it’s because we’re the only two black juniors. I was granting her grace because my mom accidentally calls me my sisters name and stuff, I get that it happens. But now it’s becoming a microagression. Advice?
