I applied to work at a grocery store today! I’m still giggling about it. But if they offer me that job I’m going to take it. 😂

As a similarly overqualified and over credentialed person, I can tell you from first hand experience that they will not call you back.

Just lie? How often do they check references?

Wait, like as a bagger, cashier, stocker? Or corporate offices - counsel, compliance?

As a retail manager lbvs. I basically said, “I did this job when I was 19, I can do it again!” While I know they likely won’t hire me, I had a great time applying.

Love that for you!

Would you really accept the job if they hired you? I told my colleague that I wanted to be a Walmart greeter. For two seconds, I thought I would be happy until she smacked me back down to earth and reminded me that I still wouldn’t be happy because I’d be poor.

I’d absolutely take the job if they offered it to me. I have found that I went to law school and started in this area because I thought money would bring me some kind of peace. It has not. So I’m working on significantly lowering my personal expenses so I can operate on lowest salaries. I was much happier in my job before law school where I was making $10/hour.

P&T AMA is mainly people asking softballs and wishing Joe happy birthday. While I do wish Joe a happy birthday as well, I'd love to see a more candid AMA... perhaps on this bowl, where people can ask what's REALLY on their minds without having to put their name to it? Kudos to the one guy boldly pointing out the current comp issues...

Boss1 (American): “Because it just complicates things! Why do you have to go and throw a spanner in the wheel?!”
Boss3 (British): “Spanner in the wheel?? You’re mixing up your metaphors. It’s spanner in the works.”
Boss2: “What’s a spanner?”

I’ve been practicing in both big law (many yrs ago) and now in-house for over 10 years. Quite often I struggle because I don’t find work fulfilling. I’ve been in industries that allegedly have greater cause (healthcare) but was eventually disappointed by the corporate bureaucracy and went to a cutting-edge tech company for intellectual stimulation. Still I struggle. Should I try public interest? Not that I don’t need the money but it’s hard to work when I am so detached and find it meaningless

Has anyone made the transition from non-profit and small firm practice to federal government, big law, in-house? I’m a special education parent attorney at a small firm and I’ve spent my legal career in the education and juvenile areas of the law working for 2 non-profits before ending up at the firm. However, I’m just exhausted, unmotivated, and and looking for a change. At this point (6.5 yrs of practice), is that type of transition even possible or am I stuck due to the practice area?
