If I need Friday 4-5pm to go to a doctor's appointment, do I need to set a meeting invite to my manager in order not to be fired?

If you did get fired over that, that isn’t a place you want to work at

Don't send a meeting invite, but communicate you will be unavailable and block your calendar not just for the appointment time, but any travel/waiting time you need too.

I’m at the doctor now, didn’t tell anyone but I’m easily reachable via mobile.

I over communicate, a simple calendar event saying you’ll be offline from 3-5 on Friday for the doctors is more than enough. Most people should be wrapping anyways

Don’t think you should be fired either way but I usually just send a OOP invite on their calendar to give them a heads up

Is your manager in the same time zone as you? Do you get 4pm Friday meetings in general?

I'm in east and my manager is in west, so my 4pm is his 1pm and very much working time.

It didn't hurt to send a calendar invite, make sure you set the time block empty for his calendar.

I block my calendar, mark my Slack status as unavailable and communicate with the lead that I’ll be OOO for the designated time.

Does anyone think it’s weird that my firm is bending over backwards to try to keep a first year staff from leaving the firm after she was rated a 2 this year. But now she’s trying to leave and they keep trying to push her to stay saying she can be a partner in 8-9 years and laying it all out in detail. The issue is they laid off other staff (all but her) so maybe that’s it? Find it very odd.

Boomer. I am in between jobs. Laid off in 10/21 after 16+ yrs, with an ABA firm. RIF. Still on excellent terms. Took my time living off generous package and didn’t seriously start applying until 01/22. Made a rookie mistake and accepted first offer.
Turns out job wasn’t as advertised. Mutual parting of ways 3/22. Due diligence is critical.

Layoffs. Most big firms say they're sitting on a conservative pile of cash - which I believe is true - but work will obviously not return to pre-COVID levels in the short term, probably not even in the medium term. Are Biglaw layoffs coming?
