I’m leaving employment litigation.

Most of these disputes are so petty and almost every case is about making up makeshift reasons for what would otherwise be wrongful termination.

You see people being fired where the actual reason is for instance hooking up with the CEO’s young female crush, or speaking up about issues in the workplace.

Even the most innocuous detail can be turned against an employee. Eating lunch at your desk can e.g. easily be labelled as being ‘uncooperative’.

Need advice on strategy- got new job and somehow negotiated a sept start date. With the layoffs going on at D, what are the odds I can perform badly enough to get laid off so I can collect severance and take a vacay?

I have an excellent resume as a corporate attorney, have great references and experience, am a likeable person but am in the process of being laid off due to COVID. What are my prospects of finding a job once the firm cuts me loose? Any tips for how to best position myself? I am very flexible about what type of job I will take and salary. My only hard no is working long hours at a sweatshop.

One of my teammates has been taking credit for my work lately. I don't know how to address this without him getting defensive. Please help!

If offered a great position and 30% bump, seems like a no brainer to jump. But I’m wary of an upcoming recession, and how being a new employee would make me vulnerable to layoffs. What do you think?

Is it a good idea to accept offer from Europe ? Considering the recession? How bad is the recession situation and layoffs in Europe ?

Does anyone here work for Carvana? I’ve had a recruiter reach out about a position several times but know they just went through some layoffs. Have they recovered and are they on a good track or is there still a lot of risk?

So embarrassed. I literally had one job to do today which was to schedule a client and give and take her paperwork when she came in. Totally called her by the wrong name today AND gave her the wrong paperwork. She was really nice about it but I feel like my boss was disappointed and I'm disappointed in myself. I don't want her to think I won't be able to keep clients straight when I start doing supervised sessions.

I was laid off this month from a US-based company where I've been a reporter for the past 3 years or so... I live in Europe. I wonder if I'm likely to have luck with other remote-friendly US companies. Or are we already past that?

I’d like to get modest appreciation gifts for some of the junior associates I work with (think bottle of wine, maybe chocolate), but some are in other offices. Any recommendations on how to do this, or should I just send them a gift card?

An unhappy customer demanded free items and was refused. They left my job a terrible review and used my full name (with a few personal insults thrown in). Can I do anything about this? It feels so uncomfortable.

Ladies, how much makeup do you wear to work?

Questions for my fellow EAs out there:
1. How many of you travel for your job? If so, are there stipulations?
2. My team is having an 2-day offsite meeting in another city and many folks outside of our team are all traveling in for it. Some are only attending for an hour. My exec told me yesterday I couldn’t attend (after weeks of asking him), citing that we couldn’t have excessive hours of OT (maybe 4 hrs). I do not feel valued as a team member.
Should I bring it up or let it go?

Is it wrong to say "thank you" when you're given an assignment? If so, how do you end your response? Just "will do." or similar?

Hey everybody. Got laid off at D. BTA within strategy and analytics. Mostly LS/HC experience. Anybody can help out with a referral anywhere? Thank you!

Brand Strategy/Planning roles aren't typical in PR. So every new Account hire arrives with no experience working with a Strategist. I'm tired of explaining/showing my role adds necessary value. I love strategy, but I have an offer at another agency to move into Account as Group SVP. They want to "customize" the role for my experience, but I'm afraid it will just be on paper and people will expect me to know things I just won't. I can't afford to be fired. Thoughts? Considerations? Watch-outs?

Are any ad agencies doing layoffs?
(Hearing a lot about it in tech.)

I’m a manager and one of my direct reports makes more than me. It really bothers me. Anyone else been in this situation before? What’s the best way to handle it?

This is a hot topic now a days

Do any of your companies planning for layoffs and you knew it as official/unofficial ?

How do you respond if you’re asked ..why were you let go from your last position? If it was a personality issue with your manager ? Thank you.

Is it true that most top law firms will generally not consider CSK associates when hiring?

1/11/22 checkin: What are your workouts today?🧐

I’m sick so I’m skipping workouts 😭.

Having worked with energy now for a decade, I find myself enjoying the craziness of it all: You're always two decisions (in Moscow or Riyadh) away from prices halving or doubling. War or no war is quite often a sensitivity, and adoption of EVs/renewables/biofuels will be between X and 10X. Find it hard to imagine doing strategy work in the less volatile/crazy domains - what could be more exciting than this 😋

Anyone ever make a fresh pair of NikeIDs? Tired of waiting for releases, want to take matters into my own hands.

Hi folks,

I have got a offer letter from pwc, where the company is mentioned as "PWC services LLP". Can anyone please confirm whether this is pwc india or pwc Ac?

I've been at the same aerospace company (located in Montreal), in the same department, for 11 years. I got two in-place promotions, and hope to get promoted to department supervisor. What kind of salary increase should I expect?

Surprise all associate call at 11 today. Wonder what this could possibly be about. We were told last week that associate pay cuts were not happening but could later. I guess later is one week, lol.

Do you think our clients are aware of how little we train new associates and laterals? I can’t imagine they would be happy if they did. I also wonder whether it’s as bad compared to other industries as it seems. I can’t imagine a trucking company would hire someone who just got their drivers license to haul freight across the country and tell them to “figure it out” or “learn by doing”.

Hi everyone, my firm (V100) is hiring a midlevel L&E associate for its SF office. Pay is market and billable hours requirement 2000. Please dm me if you’re interested.

I’d like to get modest appreciation gifts for some of the junior associates I work with (think bottle of wine, maybe chocolate), but some are in other offices. Any recommendations on how to do this, or should I just send them a gift card?

Are any other firms out there mandating boosters as a condition of employment? Just announced for us, and no option for covid testing or staying home.

Looking to switch from a boutique firm into big law and make a move into corporate from litigation. Anyone have experiences doing this? Also, does anyone know which firms are more willing to hire laterals from outside of big law and which ones won’t?

Just saw a Facebook short where a woman was saying she made $180k as a first year corporate associate and the comments didn’t believe her. A lot of the comments consisted of “no way, only partners at law firms make that much money!” when she said she was into the $200k zone a few years later.

I don’t really have a point I’m trying to make, I just think the public perception is really interesting compared to what we talk about here. I feel very lucky to be where I am all things considered.

I’m very fortunate to have received a wonderful review with really high praise from every partner I’ve worked with. A slightly weird question, but is it proper etiquette to thank each partner for their kind words?

Looking for recommendations for a virtual therapy sessions to help me manage chronic anxiety related to work and my relationship. It’s been consuming me lately and I believe that I’m opposed to medication. Any other tips on anxiety management/overthinking are appreciated.

Question about the student loan forgiveness. I know a lot of people who had their stub year are planning to apply, but won’t the form you have to submit require you to affirm that you’re under the income cap generally? Or will it just require you to affirm your 2021 taxable income was below the cap? If the former, feel like that could be an issue…

Ideas on what to get with tech stipend? I already have somewhat of a set up so nothing is springing to mind. Would appreciate any and all ideas 💡

Is December always like this? I'm drowning and there's no end in sight 😭 probably going to hit 100 hours for December in the next day or two. I'm so tired

If the partner you want to give notice to doesn’t pick up the phone, is it acceptable to give notice by email?
