I have COVID and obviously my partners and team are all aware. Run down but not the worst symptoms so have been picking up a bit of work, probably a few billable hrs each day. I’m not telling clients I’m ill or external lawyers and my OOO isn’t on. A partner just emailed a client with me copied saying I have COVID. I am really annoyed about this? Am I fair to be annoyed? Do I say anything?

Thank you! Glad to know my feelings were justified

Depends on the context but it might well be an expression of concern. I hope you’re taking time to rest and that you recover quickly and fully.

Definitely could have been! Just not well executed I think. Thanks so much.

Was it, “the attorney has CoVid” or “the attorney has CoVid, so it may take a few days to respond”. Either way it was probably a poor attempt to limit your work while you recover from CoVid.

I hope you have a quick and easy recover.

Did you say to your colleagues that you don’t want clients to know? It would never occur to me that this was something to be kept secret. If it was surgery or some other medical condition, I would always say “unavailable.” Unfortunately, at this point, Covid is like the flu or a cold.

What the hell? Without your consent, that’s absolutely inappropriate and illegal! The partner should def know better.

Maybe say you appreciate his/her concern and looking out for you but you’d prefer to choose if and when to say anything about that (outside of required disclosure for others’ health and safety).

I work for a small agency and manage our internal marketing acct. We had very few processes in place when I started. I’ve since created, implemented, and trained our dept. on project mgmt for clients and am trying to convince the owner to apply those principles to our internal jobs. They are resistant because they just want the work to be done and don’t “want to keep spending money on internal jobs”. I’m confused because we’re doing the work either way and “spending” in labor/resources.

I’ve practiced litigation in DC for about 5+ years at a larger plaintiffs’ firm, and am considering a switch to a defense firm. Is there any insight to how many billable hours this would require, and how much time that would actually be?
