[query] Is it a good idea to say a firm No due to medical reasons to a new night shift project I'm hired in?Accenture
I recently got a night shift project (2 days ago) that requires me to work from 10:30pm till 7:30am
I'm not comfortable with these timings and I'm thinking to ask my manager to put me on Bench (Due to medical reasons that involve mental health)
Is it a nice idea to say a firm No to a new project I'm hardlocked into, due to night shifts?

The way people generally hate and disparage attorneys and then have the audacity to come ask for free legal advice, while complaining, is wild. I dislike when people expect free legal advice because it’s “just us talking” but if I was creating an actual product or a SAHM selling overpriced shampoos through a pyramid scheme/MLM scheme- only then is it acceptable for me to expect compensation.
Right? In this instance, this person I hadn’t spoken to in years messaged me out of the blue and goes “hey I have a question (insert legal question here)” and that was it! Thankfully I was able to use the excuse that I wasn’t licensed in the state she was asking about but sheeesh.
“My liability insurance doesn’t permit me to provide legal advice unless I have been retained. I would be happy to help you. The fee for this is $___, which is a discount since we are friends. Let me know if you are interested in this and I will send you over a contract to review.”
I send it to family. I mean, it’s the truth. I give them a discount, but I don’t work for free. If I did, then I would start to resent it and then resent them and no family or friend relationship should be destroyed over legal work.
If they are true friends, they wouldn't be asking for free legal advice. True friends know your worth and don't ask!
