Instead of RTO policies, can we start threatening people’s jobs based on if they can actually do the work?? I work with plenty of people who are in the office everyday, but are quite honestly, morons.

Same! Pretty sure there is an inverse correlation. Those who do the best work are too busy to commute and hide at home because they don't need any more work. I will not be returning to any set number of in office days.

Define “can.” If the client is paying for them to do ~2000 hours a year, the firm’s idea of “can do the work” may not match your view of their competence.

I mean not missing deadlines on deals as a specialist, actually reading the documents so we avoid closings going up in flames, being reachable after 7 PM on a closing.

I struggle with extreme self-doubt and take all criticism very personally, which translates into me engaging in self-destructive behavior to compensate and to please others. What are daily actions I can take to combat this? How can I assess when to take criticism seriously, how to regard it dispassionately, and how to push back and stand up for myself?

Can we be honest for a second? No one has a clear policy for how we should be billing our time and no one wants to ask. I’ve heard perspectives ranging from, “a good faith estimate at the end of the week is sufficient” to “you need to have a timer going at all times and if you don’t turn it off when you pee, you’re committing an ethical violation”... also, “Bill anything that moves the deal forward” vs. “You can’t bill for collating documents. That’s not legal work.”

Did you ever had this feeling of not fitting in? People (including non-legal staff) in my team just ignore me. I know I made some mistakes, but resenting a trainee for that reason seems unfair. Just went to farewell drinks of an associate and only two persons out of 14 actively engaged conversation with me. With the rest I had this feeling of forcing everything and of being the awkward one. People were referring to funny stories on cases we’re working on and that I never heard about.
