On the markup just circle things and say, “Is this market?” Thats 90% of it. Good luck!

Is it worse, I negotiated the entire deal this morning on a phone call.

CYA - still send everything to the partner for sign off and put it on them to refuse to look at it if that’s what they want to do

Yeah my tip is the same to cya as much as possible. Keep running things by the partner even if they never comment.

This just seems like really bad news. Make sure you reach out to help when needed. How many attorneys are at your firm?

Yeah, they don’t really get to go MIA.

If my word isn’t good enough, go ask your malpractice carrier.

Do your best, and track down answers on your own when you can. But when you aren’t able to do that, it’s the partner’s job to re-emerge and deal with the billing issues later. It’s your job to make their re-engagement as easy and efficient as possible, so when you go to them, make sure you’ve identified the issue, identified possible solutions, betters those solutions as well as you can, and are prepared to make a recommendation as to next steps.

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us. She starts work at 4:30am and leaves around 2:30pm, but she still expects us to stay until 6pm and work on the weekends! She gives us really long shifts and doesn't give us much time for breaks. And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?
