How do you get partners to stop CCing you on every email related to your deal/litigation when you’re just being copied as an “FYI” when you certainly don’t need the info?

My wife thinks the toys in the latest bark box are “too cute” to give to the dog...

Where the best way to process POA for a large number of patent applications?

Is it to get a form 82 signed and attach it to different transmittals for each application and file separately in each case? Is there an easier way?

So marijuana legalization is the real main stream? I personally still don’t like the idea… guess I am the minority now

As a resident of the great state of New California, can any residents of New Nevada opine on how it is there? Thinking of moving to New Vegas.

So a video of Peter Shiff being interviewed on the current economic conditions is now “spam”? Ok, sorry it wasn’t Jim Cramer.

Just got my PERM approved and started prepping for I140. Can I move to another state? My main concern is that it will require another PERM and I-140 can’t be filed.

Has anyone paid for premium processing for their I-140 out of pocket? EY filed my I-140 in June 2021 and is working on my I-485 now. I asked if I can pay for premium processing since the Texas processing center takes 11-13.5 months but I am not sure it will be worth it if the I-485 takes a long time. Thanks!

Hi I was interviewed by Capgemini in December 2021 and surprisingly they called in February 2022 for second round.

1. When can i expect call from hr?
2. I was thinking it is not genuine as they did not had clarity for which they were interviewing me. However in both round people who interviewed had email id with domain of Capgemini.

Did it happened with anybody else?

Please guide.
Thanks

Got laid off today. Ironicly is I have been looking for a new job for over a year. I guess it's good that I no longer work in a toxic environment & no longer for a criminal. Heartburn from anxiety.

Globant or Amdocs which one to prefer?
Offer is almost the same.

I really feel like I’ve been dealt a really bad hand in my life. It feels like no one gives me a chance. Whether it’s a job I know I’m qualified for, or someone I’m interested in. Even things that appear to be good at first end up sucking. I know I should be grateful for what I have and that so many others are less fortunate. But I still can’t help but think that for a person in my position, given the opportunities that I was given, I am just a complete failure and nowhere near what I could be.

Would appreciate any input. My friend is transitioning to another job. She’s put 4-week notice in accordance with her contract. However, seems like her employer is giving her hell for such “short notice”🤷‍♀️ There are concerns for her due to small industry in this area. Potential retaliation? Is there anything I could recommend her? She still has 4 weeks with them 🤦‍♀️

Any suggestions/ ideas about ValuLabs WLB and job security?

I used to have panic attacks because I would fail exams and get low grades, but looking back, I wish someone had told me I was capable of finding success even with all my failures. If anyone is a student right now, know that it’s going to be okay and you’ll make a fine engineer one day as long as you persevere through your setbacks

Hi Everyone! I’m looking for AR valuation vendors since our health system has recently expanded. I know Crowe/RCA is a major player in this space. Does anyone know of any competitors to Crowe?

How long is it appropriate to sit on an offer from a firm before giving an answer. This firm made me an offer sooner than I expected, and I’m trying to check their references (talk to anyone I know who knows anyone that has worked there) and now they’re giving my recruiter pasig aggressive notes about how long I’m taking and saying they’ve been “very patient”….it’s been a week.

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.

New concept: firm that pays well above market and manageable equity partnership track but every month the lowest biller of each practice group is automatically fired.

Vote with your feet and move to Texas. If that state turns blue then the right is f’d.

How much do you donate annually to nonprofit organizations when you are a board member for that org?

I just lateraled as a first year associate in a specialized finance practice with one main partner and a handful of mid levels. The practice group is actively hiring laterals. But as the only junior associate so far, I don’t have very many people to ask for help, and I have a lot of questions about how to do my work, whether it’s okay to respond to an email in a certain way, etc. The partner is disorganized and requires a lot of follow up before he reviews or answers me. How do I manage this?

Do you guys remember doing character and fitness? I didn't have any issues with it but apparently the bar association can contact your landlord?

I remember questioning how they could even obtain some of the stuff they are asking for if you were not forthcoming. For instance, how would they know if you've been civilly sued if that's not always public information or how would they know if you are current on your taxes?

Should you include bonus, raise and/or salary expectations in your performance evaluation?

Any title insurance underwriting counsel here? Full service real estate attorney looking to focus my practice. I’ve applied to most of the major title insurers these last few weeks and I’m feeling hopeful. I’ve never underwritten title but I’ve searched title, written abstracts, written certified title opinions, advised clients in house, litigated quiet title actions, property line disputes and defended oil and gas trespass cases. I know title in and out. I’m ready.

Anyone else loathe doing discovery, put it off forever, then get sick to the stomach when OC throws a fit about it being late? How do I break this pattern?

Hi new here. Idk what my value is and if I’m getting paid an amount that reflects my hard work. I am a paralegal for a small law firm (family and immigration) w only 1 attorney. I have about 20 files or more in my rotation at a time. I work on various types of cases at once. Some are simple, others are extensive. I feel like it’s very unstructured and one of the managers micromanages. It’s like every man for himself. Take home pay is $50k. I am working on my bachelors deg. Do I get paid enough?

I am a young and a woman of color. I am an incoming associate at an established firm in a relatively small city (~80k population). I like the firm very much. I am, however, the only woman of color at my firm. I grew up on the nearby reservation. I have recently been vocal about a local business changing its name. The name venerates an individual who massacred native people. It made the news. Am I ruffling too many feathers? Should I be less vocal now that I will be a lawyer? I feel uncomfortable

What independent steps could a midlevel M&A associate take for business development on behalf of their (somewhat niche) specialty group?

Will law school go back to Zoom University this year?

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.
