I have been with my firm for about two years. The associate I work for is not meeting the partners expectations. My fear is the associate will get fired and then I will be without a job. Thoughts?

Is it any surprise we’re seeing mass layoff in tech? Years of rich friends hiring rich friends with no work ethic has lead us here. I know way too many tech people who work maybe an hour a day followed by errands and traveling. A lot of getting in these places is who you know, apparently that doesn’t work out like it used to. The amount of people who worked for Meta, Apple, Amazon, etc for a few months / maybe a year is astounding. it’s around that time frame a boss can tell if you’re worth it

Layoffs at Walmart corporate 😬😬

If I just chill on the bench for long will I still only get fired at the end of the year?

I recently laid off from First Source because There is no work in Mortgage process. I'm getting offer from a company but less 30% less package as compared to First Source. Im the only earning person for my family and don't have any financial backup. Should I Join for temporary ?

off-topic:
in office have you seen any girl wear nosepin?

Am I more or less likely to be laid off if the economy tanks even more if I just started as an analyst two months ago

Anyone else tired of having to work so hard to get where you are, only to realize you will be the first one laid off because you aren’t in the “sorority.” Watching it happen is filling me with anxiety

O&M Creative: more shuffling still to come? And by shuffling, I mean layoffs too.

I like my job. I like my client. I have BPD. My boss micromanages me and makes me feel incompetent. I’m never invited to team functions. It’s really depressing. What would you do?

I attended a Kindergarten Readiness meeting and a preschool director who has been open for most of the pandemic said that her staff wears smocks or aprons to protect themselves. We are going back full time in less than a month. I am not sure if I should buy an apron. Does anyone know any research about this?

My manager continues to ask me to help other teams and do work on other billable projects. I’m sick of it .. and I’m going to explicitly say that no I can’t do it because my hours are taken by the existing project we are doing. Is this appropriate?

Is the SALT team in your company considered the “stepchild” of the family?? Intrigued to know if this just my team or everywhere in general.

How does one go about resignation in the remote setting?

Should i email my boss then follow up with a call? Or the other way around?

The "confrontation" is really difficult for me lol. I actually like my current boss and she's been helpful and made me feel like she looks out for me too. But the new opportunity is too good to pass up on (huge increase to pay. No concerns on the team since ive worked with those people in the past in a different company)

How do you cope when your employer rapidly descends into chaos from the top down? Today is my 2yr anniversary with this company. In the past 6mos, they have repeatedly changed directions / goals, pushing out several supportive and productive managers in favor of a single chauvinist overlord who makes HR violations daily and does no actual work. HR denies every complaint made against him and he retaliates to the point of firing people. Very hostile. How do I survive until I find my next gig?

I have been interviewing for a new job but I keep hearing about layoffs and a recession coming. Is now a bad time to switch jobs?

What advice will you give to yourself when you were a newbie in the professional life? Give the context too.
I’ll go first- I’ll tell myself to not overshare, especially to the manager. People will generally make an image of you and judge you on basis of that even if you have changed a lot.

How is the morale in your groups especially with constant layoff news in the market?

Is there mass layoffs happening in the industry right now? Is the rumour true? Are we back in a recession?

Has anyone recently signed up to take the gmat online prior to may 20? I’m trying to sign up for a slot in the next week or so, but I keep getting redirected to an error page. Not sure if this means slots arent available anymore

Nothing on here for the Forestry industry. This app caters to do nothing managers it seems. :(

Looking for a new challenge and have heard great things about Adobe. Does anyone have feedback on the inside sales/account management roles?

Looking to rent a home in the Central Park area but there are very few homes available for rent on Zillow. Does anyone know of any other platforms that might have listings that are not on Zillow? I imagine most people who are trying to rent out their home/investment property would list on Zillow but thought I’d ask!

Hi..for a business analyst of 6 yoe what are the technical courses that can be taken up?

Has anyone used Productboard with Jira? I’m specifically looking to understand how you manage epics within the Jira backlog. Currently our backlog contains the child issues for each epic

Thinking about getting a MBA, partly for personal enrichment but also for professional reasons. I know schools all have different “cognates” but do people have recommendations that pair well with corporate/securities/financial legal practice fields?

What’s the best way to turn down a 2nd interview? During the 1st interview, I learned that the compensation for the role is not within the range that I am looking for and requires 400 more billable hours a year than what I bill now. I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice? TIA!

I’m junior to two Legal Counsel (I work in-house) who are passive aggressive towards each other. They don’t attend each other’s meetings and leave each other out of email CC’s. It’s pretty clear this is done on purpose as one of them has bitched to me about the other.

What would you do in this situation?

How do y’all deal with burnout? First year already billed 1900 since Jan. I feel like I’m tired and uninterested in work all the time now.

All of my experience is in litigation but I think I might like real estate more. Any advice on how to sell myself to a real estate firm?

I'm a third year plaintiff's employment law attorney and I'm looking to move to defense, preferably still in employment law. I received an offer from a midsize firm that primarily focuses on PI with little-to-no employment law practice, so I'll have a bit of a learning curve. Offer is $90k, billable hours of 2100. Is this reasonable? I'm dead-set on leaving my current job, and this would be a $20k pay increase - which makes me believe I'm leaning towards taking it for those reasons only.

How are 1st year litigation associates dealing with WFH? I’ve been having terrible anxiety/panic attacks, and pretty sure my billables wont exceed 110 for April. I’ve been super stressed about it and don’t know how to move on to May with the proper mindset to make up for as much time missed as possible. CA courts are still closed, and I’m worried I won’t be able to exceed (or even meet) my May goal after April.

Those who are voluntarily returning to the office — how often are you going and what days seem to work for you? Looking to slowly incorporate a few days here and there for change of scenery etc. — will add there is no pressure to do so (yet).

In case I’m not the only one who cares. The strike at Facebook is about union busting. I will be back with more because I am a dedicated gossip gatherer.

What do you do about computer problems? It just took me 24 minutes to send a .1 email due to my computer constantly freezing. Is it worth entering that time into non-billable? Or do I just stop whining and work longer to make it up?

I’ve been with firms for 6 years. I struggle (not that I’m not intellectually capable of doing this job), I just hate the detail oriented nature of this industry. Everything gets scrutinized so carefully and most things I stayed up late for doesn’t matter.

I just got PIP talk and they are pushing me out next year. I’m kinda relieved. I want to leave law completely and be someone on the operation side. Eventually I want to be an COO.

How do I get there from here?

Does anyone’s practice seem to ebb and flow based on seasons or time of year? If so, what practice area and when are you busiest/slowest?

Billables are low this month. Like I have 65 billable hours in so far. I’ve messaged partners over the last week to try and get more cases but there are tons of new associates who were just onboarded and were at a low point for business. I’m freaking out

What is everyone’s: (1) billable hours this year; (2) practice group; (3) year; and (4) size of law firm?

Would it be considered burning bridges if I gave less than two weeks notice before lateraling?

Parental leave: do you have to be at a company or firm for a year before being eligible to take parental leave? Are there any companies/firms that don't have this requirement?

Does anyone know sports arbitration or general arbitration well? Have been a figure skating fan my entire life and am curious whether the judgement of recent Valieva case makes sense to you.

Can anyone provide any insight on what it's like working in Sidley Austin's London office? Culture, target hours, work life balance etc
