How is your firm dealing with COVID-19? (Lay-off, pat cuts, working from@home, etc)

Ringing that bell tomorrow. No hate to my firm, but we have a kid during covid and it’s hard to work two jobs and be a daycare provider. Plus, no job makes me as whole as being a father.

Old employer arranged a WFH contract deal where my contract is on par with my current pay. Have to pay both sides of FICA taxes, but I control my time and know I can be there for my wife and kid when needed. Keep grindin’ y’all! ✌🏽

I feel like i want to be done with the human race. Before COViD I truly liked people, my work, and I had good friendships and hobbies.

Now, I just want to turn my back on my career, as pros in my field are never trusted or valued. I’ve lost interest in hanging out with people other than my GF and my dogs. So much entitlement in people today.

I’ve just had earth shaking levels of disappointment in life. Two divorces. Five of my close friends and my favorite dog have died in the last two years.

Anyone else feeling the struggle of working from home during COVID-19? Not having the separation of work vs. home has been so rough.

I coughed while warming up my spicy food and I got a never ending panic attack and have started feeling symptoms of coronavirus. How do I make this anxiety stop?

Any word on big law covid bonus announcements this weeks?

Was wfh there in HCL and cognizant before covid as well??

Any good baby moon recommendations and the best time to go? Currently 12w based in Washington DC area and starting to plan. On the fence about flying right now with Covid numbers, but considering places where masks are still mandatory for air travel (I.e Germany, Portugal)

What was your favorite restaurant before COVID hit? What are you most looking forward to trying when they open back up?

Hi ME fishes! Does anyone know how BCG and McKinsey are doing in the ME with the COVID situation? Are there more CTL than usual? If you have the choice to stay in the US or go to the ME, what would you do?

If you're teaching right now do you have a second job or did you? Most of the teachers I work with do. Trying to find something that I can do from home or after school to bring in some extra money, I've taken time off because of covid and I'm struggling to make ends meet this month with the holidays. Any advice would be great

Do you think there will be any change in the amount of travel post covid for MBB? Especially as some clients start to WFH more often than pre covid?

I was diagnosed with ADHD a long time ago, and because of the low severity of it and the affects of adderall I decided to not be medicated. I think with WFH and Covid times it’s gotten a lot worse for me and I’ve noticed my work performance tanking and my anxiety rising in public accounting. I know this is normal for people in PA who don’t even have ADHD, but does anyone have any advice??

What would you do? I’m 7w pregnant and don’t want to tell anyone yet. Have an upcoming shoot (6 hour plane ride) and agency said anyone can opt out for coronavirus fears. I’d hate to miss it. Help!

I’m hoping to move to a coastal MD town in the next 1-3 years (from Philly). There don’t seem to be many job opportunities, if any. My plan B is to work remotely, but I’m worried that the available opportunities won’t allow for growth or promotion. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with working remotely in corporate law (outside of COVID of course). At the time I move I’ll have 3-5 years of experience at an Am Law 100 firm in M&A.

Feels like the first weekend to not think about work or COVID since March 2020? Anyone with me here?

I am taking another sick day this coming Monday. It's necessary for both my physical and mental health, which are severely compromised due to the stress of this insane school year (and the last one, and the spring before that -- I think this is cumulative with COVID, the political situation, etc.). I have never taken this many sick days during ANY school year in my 20+ years of teaching. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is anyone else having anxiety about taking so many days off?

Pre-Covid, what type of vehicle were you driving to work?

How much time per week does everyone spend in the office (not so much a billables question, just time in the office pre-COVID orders)?

Anyone know where to get some high quality unbranded clothes? I want a nice solid color hoodie, some shirts, etc, and don’t want to walk around like a billboard.

Was wfh there in HCL and cognizant before covid as well??

M fish have good cheap shorts? With this weather and being home I’m in need of more than 5 pairs of gym shorts. Like the lulu ones but can’t afford 68 a pair

Hey boys 👋🏼 first day here, so how does this work?

Why can’t I just appreciate that I have a job and be happy? What’s wrong with me, why does it have to be such a struggle?Sometimes I think if I don’t quit my job I’ll kill myself. Other times I think I’m a complete moron for even considering it. I really don’t like myself right now.

What’s the best store you’ve ever worked at and why?

The interview happened last month first week and documentation process also completed. They have given a verbal offer, but no offer letter as there are still doing some audit and compliance on the earlier employments. They have yet not reverted. What should be done in this scenario. Is this a normal thing in Accenture where they take an inconsiderable amount of time for small things too

What’s the best way to share unpleasant feedback? I’ve seen many people be direct and rude, sandwich negative feedback, and transparent but polite.

I’ve worked with managers who share negative feedback in a friendly, non-degrading way in the past, but lately, I see more blunt and harsh - is this an industry norm? Was I just lucky a few times?

Anyone have any insight as to public sector (including gov’t of course) positions that pay a starting salary of $150k or more to an attorney with approximately 4-5 years experience, preferably in geographic locations North of SF. I know there are a lot of variables but just trying to get ideas of places that I’m not already aware of. Thanks in advance!

Gonna be in SF for the summer. Staying on Pacific Ave, in Chinatown. Looking for recommendations on things to do, places to eat at, bars, and also any concerns to keep in mind. How safe/unsafe is the area etc. Appreciate any help!

Will be moving to the Bay area for a new job which pays a bit under 200k. I know SF is very expensive so just trying to gauge what would be a reasonable amount to spend on rent. I have no debt and decent savings. Bringing my car with me and will be commuting to Marin most days, but looking to live in SF. Otherwise tend to be fairly frugal and like to cook.

Any thoughts/suggestions are greatly appreciated!

What are some new ways you connect with clients?

I don’t know about you all...but WFH means I never have to touch those those CLOTH handles on BART! Anyone want to share their positives?

Are there any networking opportunities in the near future? I moved to SF recently, and would love to connect with the legal community here.

Anyone women lawyers here interested in a local get together? New to the area & looking to meet friends, which is hard enough as a busy attorney, and got even harder with pandemic /WFH life. I brought this up in the women lawyers bowl and there were several 🐠🐠 in the Bay area looking to connect!

Anyone here regularly practice in Alameda County Superior Court? This is my first time in that particular court and I could use some advice as to the procedure for requesting an informal discovery conference. Local rules don’t provide a whole lot of guidance on this.
