How is the RTO policy for the ECVC firms - Cooley, Fenwick, etc.? Are these firms flexible with WFH?

So I took a job as an environmental scientist back in private sector two months ago. All I do all day is write reports & keep our clients out of trouble with the Dept of Environmental Quality. It’s kind of boring. The lady I report to (she’s not really my boss. We have a small office 5 hrs away from main office, so we are more or less remote staff) is a typical boomer. Geologist from the 80s, and she’s the best of the best. Nice and eccentric—her husband got diagnosed with cancer the week (cont)

Looking for a new HR opportunity in the Madison, WI area, or remote work. Any leads out there? 19 years experience, SHRM-SCP certified. Tons of employee relations, talent development, benefits, payroll, experience! Still growing in comp administration, and enjoying aligning people strategies to organizational goals and objectives.

We know that sooner or later, most of the companies will start calling employees back in office to work.

Many of us find it easy to WFH/Remote. (Well many might like the opposite or hybrid and that's totally okay)

But If you were called by your employer and you convince that you can work better from home and agreed to extend or convert you to remote..!

Share Tips(😉)/insights on this (if it works or not to help out)

Thanks in advance. 🙂

Incoming newbie here! Do we have a WFH expense for equipment? Dual monitors, etc.?

I am a Family Nurse practitioner with years of clinical experience. I als have spent time working in: Quality Assurance for CMS surveys, Post Acute Care and Readmission prevention and teaching BSN programs. I would love to get into consulting in a WFH position. I have been working from home for 2 years and would like to stay home. Any leads would be appreciated.

If you are experienced at WFH, check on your friends who are experiencing this for the first time. They might not be ok. Remind them to take breaks, encourage them to get fresh air, etc.

I hope I don’t get hate for this. But I recently moved in with my partner and his elder cat, and I do NOT like her. I’ve interacted with her for two years but the dynamic seems to have shifted since we moved (I know cats don’t like moving).

I’m WFH and end up spending a ton of time with her. She occasionally purrs but mostly yells about everything and cries for my partner when he isn’t around. Even he admits that she is super difficult. I constantly read up on it but not sure how to deal?

Can someone please explain what type of life insurance I should be purchasing? I’m setting up life insurance trusts for my wife and me and now need to purchase the actual policies. We’re late 30s, 2 kids, lots of assets. I’ve spoken to 3 insurance brokers and they are all inconsistent in what we should be getting, so don’t know who is scamming us! Term life, whole life, universal, etc. Why isn’t this shit taught in like high school? Something so important shouldn’t be complicated to get right!

Heard Milbank just raised salaries. 10k more a year for first through third years and 15k more a year for fourth years and higher.

What’s with partners taking the line that in-house who gave us assignment/project/case doesn’t want to receive a list of documents/ info from outside counsel we need to assist with matter at the outset (after initial client contact, obviously)? Partners say “this is a lot to ask” or “they called us for help so we shouldn’t give them a to do list” or “just jump on a call and talk it out” or “they may not be the person who has this information”. Seems like everyone above 40 thinks this way.

Dads, how much parental leave did you take vs available? Lateraled in January and baby is due December. Firm offers 9 weeks for non primary caregiver for reference. I'd be inclined to "take it all" but a bit nervous about missing a ton of time with increasing economic uncertainty.

Does your firm post your hours for all to see? Thinking of going to a new firm but this policy makes me nervous.

Reading all these posts of “we as lawyers are making too much money and/or not paying enough taxes and whoever disagree are mouth-breathing idiots” makes me happy about leaving law 👋

What even is the first step to trying to buy a house? How do you decide which neighborhood to sink a small fortune in?!

Just remember, we are all easily replaceable and nothing we do at these firms (outside of those choice pro bono cases) REALLY matters. Go outside and touch some grass, those billables will be there when you get back.

Thoughts on internal check in calls being scheduled on a holiday?

Cahill Gordon announced earlier today. Inappropriately only commended the efforts of mid-levels and senior associates in the email and noted they had to deal with challenging circumstances. They gave mid-levels and seniors above market bonuses. As if they partners couldn’t be clearer they want juniors to leave. Bye Felicia.

Is it bad that I’ve only been working for 6 months and already want to cut and run? Totally willing to take a 30-50k pay cut to guarantee my weekends and nights free. Thoughts?
