I make the minutes and send it to my PM for review. They change shitty things like changing the format of the time of the meeting from regular to military time. What’s this behavior??

As a manager, how do you expect your employee to deal with a diffcult customer?

What’s your favorite WFH footwear? Any recommended brands for a chilly home office?

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

Kippot — do any of you wear one at client sites? How do you message that with your firm and the client firm if there’s comments?

I put in a lot of effort to show my client properties that fit their requirements, but they ended up working with a different agent just because they wandered across an open house. I'm so frustrated right now. Has anyone else experienced this?

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear. He wasn’t really much of a leader but basically a foreman. And he could make my existence miserable. I admit that it wasn’t easy to find another job but the bottom line is: trust your guts. If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.

What is your biggest challenge as a plus size professional ... wardrobing? Air travel? Perception/image? Energy/stamina? Outright discrimination?

Tips on giving notice over the phone? I’m required to be in the office 5 days a week but the two partners I work for never come on Fridays or Monday mornings

What is a common holiday gift for staff in a smaller biglaw office other than assistants? Thinking helpful IP person, receptionist, etc? Just cash in a card?

My boss in my creative agency threatened to fire me because I, a male, came into work with my nails painted. HR is having a very complicated day today as I found out I could take legal action if he does fire me since we don't have an established dress code that has any guidelines against male nail polish wearing.

How would you suggest dealing with a toxic boss? They gossip and seem to purposely be vague about critical information, likely so they can't be held accountable.

I have a Deputy CISO who constantly instructs us to not go to HR with top level compliance issues (because JP Morgan Chase frowned upon it). But these issues are pervasive to tone at the top and could cause non compliance. What should I do?

Do you tell your boss you’re going through a breakup? I’m phoning it in and obviously going to be camera off for awhile.

Can I give notice by email? Or is it truly preferred to call the partners directly? What if they don’t pick up?

My firm’s holiday party is on a weekday after work. I can just wear what I’d normally wear to work for that day, right?

Doing those mid year peer/self review kills all time that would be better spent pretending to help my clients

How do you get over the anxiety of an impending deadline and just write?

Cyclescheme Question: very specific Q but does anyone know *who* reviews the applications? I kinda need to get the bike asap and was wondering if there is a way to reach out to support the process.

If you are a first year in a stub year, and significantly under billable hours requirement, do firms typically still give pro rated bonus? Do first year stub associates really ever hit their pro rated hours in those 2-3 months?

What is 2nd round for In an Interview ? What do they ask ?

I have applied to a lot of compnies from company portal some 2 months, not getting calls from them. My notice period is just approaching to an end.

Also, to those companies I can't get a referral, how can I deal with this?

Been seeing a guy for a few months now and I can’t stop myself from getting in my head. I’ve never been in a solid relationship before like this and I’m afraid I’m going to mess it up. We’re together most nights and some nights I need a night off or some space, but when I don’t hear from him I get paranoid that I did something.
I don’t know how to just let things be and feel we’re as good as I know we are.

Is there a corporate way to bring up to senior leaders that an IC is causing issues across multiple teams because they are demanding and also doesn’t collaborate well? The IC gives vague “direction” then says they are too busy to clarify. They also refuse to use our project management/ collaboration tools.

Chronic Care Management as a side hustle

We should not be working for clients that still use Internet Explorer.

Holy cow how do you guys live? Everywhere is so expensive but there are so many homes on the market.

Do you guys plan on living in LA for the long term? Any tips on navigating the neighborhoods and where I good starter location would be?


(For reference, new jobs office would be in Santa Monica)

Any recommendations for a good, accessible Syrah?

How long do you let your wine decant before drinking/serving?

I just need some Brugal rum, Aventura or Romeo Santos songs on repeat all night…

It's freezing tonight bitter cold. I just ordered Chinese and I'm not sure if that was a shitty thing to do. I think they need to make money so if no one calls that wouldn't be good. I did tip well

So inquiring minds need to know. What happened to kevin ?

The mornings are when I’m most productive and it never fails.. my one friend/coworker comes over to talk to me about meaningless BS every time i start getting momentum. Nice guy.. but leave me alone.

I can smell your desk from the bathroom

Since disconnecting with past stories my reality has drastically bent. My stories programmed my reality, attracting what I told myself I was/wasn't.

I like to think of myself as calm but really I’m just dead inside.

After a year and a half of recruiters not responding and no job prospects I’ve finally got a call back - for a barista job. I guess advertising is not for me. Back to what I did in college

First day back after a 10-day beach stint. Putting on pants was hard enough.

Sometimes I don't uphold the company mission 😱

I think I have ADHD. I’m middle-aged. This has never been a problem for me before, but I’ve taken several screening tests and I’m scoring really high. What do I do?

For everyone I reject in an interview: I secretly wish we can have a feedback session and I secretly wish you find something that fits you like a glove. And I mean it when I say it: all the best.

Getting sober has made me realize how bad my boss really is.

I get so frustrated and annoyed when people make stupid common sense mistakes and I think it’s starting to affect my relationships. Don’t really know what to do.

I don’t get paid to write advertising. I get paid to sit through meetings like these. Kill me.

How many people have hooked up with someone on their team? Is it that common?

Guys I just killed my first cockroach in NYC. Either I need a new job and to relocate immediately or am now invincible/can do anything?

I didn’t make dalgona coffee when it was a trend earlier in quarantine and I’m not sure if I missed out on anything...

I left my job without having anything else lined up otherwise I would have had a mental breakdown. I’m not even in that great of a financial place, but it was my job or my sanity. I know at least three other people who, in the past few months, have left with nothing lined up. I feel like it’s something we need to be talking more about. This isn’t normal for people to be doing this right?

Tip o’ the hat to all the SVPs and EVPs who reply all “congrats team, well deserved...” to the email from the client thanking the team for sending out that banner ad expeditiously.

I’m 30. My friends’ weddings are piling up and I’m just... still very much single. Feel like it’s acceptable in NYC but also sorta depressing. Dating is hard.
