All these totally unhelpful responses. Expecting someone to act like a Foxconn employee is not how you build a sustainable pipeline for leadership as ultimately this turns into a sales job. I am dealing w this myself op and I don’t know what the answer is but I know I’m not going to last much longer because I value things like my health and relationships....

Job duties are primarily project management and editing/proofreading. As the first read on articles, they need to have an understanding of the material (business/regulation). Has anyone had experience with job sharing in this type of a role?

I realized I've been a dummy for getting a job at a creative agency and not working on my portfolio.

I don’t think people understand what the difference between conservative and liberal judicial philosophies are.

Conservative judges see their role as interpreting what is explicitly in the Constitution and that there are explicit constraints in it (cont’d)
