Is a responsive email from a partner laced in profanity and all caps acceptable? How do you deal? Does this bowl allow male attorneys in (this post is about a male partner)? Within an hour of said email, I received a phone call and email from our “hr” blaming me for the response and bringing up alleged shortcomings that have never been voiced before (despite receiving feedback in a firm wide attorney meeting discussing each associates’ strengths and weaknesses).

Could anyone elaborate on or point me in the direction for info on AUSAs, when it comes to restrictions on trading securities? I know the SEC is very strict and has a blanket rule for all attorneys, but not sure about DOJ attorneys (and whether it depends on what office/unit/section you’re in).

The first letter was always underlined. I'm so immature and proud. But I pretended not to even notice.

I’m just so tired. I feel so drained with no end of fires to put out in sight. So tempted to just quit with nothing lined up but I’m too risk adverse to do that. Where do you all pull energy from?

Ok, fishes. Twice this week, I have seen or heard a white male lamenting DEI initiatives and their growing fear and discomfort over the threat to their careers. This can’t really be real, can it? I’ve been just flabbergasted by the discussions and comments… I’m not even sure how to respond. Are others experiencing this?

What are some important/reasonable questions to ask of future colleagues before accepting a pending job offer?

There is a partner in our office that routinely discusses associate performance with other associates. For example, she will tell Associate A that Associate B isn’t performing and/or hitting hours, etc. Recently, I learned that she has been discussing “issues” she had with my work product two years ago (I no longer do any work for her). Is this something I should bring up? It bothers me that she is talking about me to others.

I would like to transition from a corporate transactional practice to a guardianship/conservatorship practice with a firm/org in another state. Any thoughts/ideas on how I can make this happen?

Just started taking pd cases and going to visit the jail for the first time tomorrow. A little nervous. Any tips?

Can anyone relate to working from home and having children at home 24/7 due to mandatory virtual schooling? It seems as if my male colleagues do not understand why I can’t meet the billable hours each month. I haven’t had a paralegal or any admin assistance in 7 months. And one response I received today was “Can’t you just lock them out of your office.” No I can’t. And the firm is making 7k per month revenue off of me but wanting the double my billing.

Input appreciated! As a second year associate, I have a reasonable 1800 billable requirement and make $70k, but I don’t feel aligned with the firm. I want more WLB and don’t care about making partner. I am considering pivoting to a contracts analyst position (glorified doc review) because it’s 100% remote, same pay, has a 40 hour cap (rather than my current minimum!), flexible hours, and no billables or stress. Would this be a bad idea for my career?

I bought some Tretinoin cream in Mexico and im wondering how others use it. Current night routine is cleanser, hyrolaunic acid, Inkey List retinol and moisturizer. Any tips appreciated!

Ladies. Have you ever been to a wedding an remembered what the bridesmaids were wearing? I’m a pandemic bride and so over bridesmaids dresses. About to have everyone pick their own, I don’t even care if it isn’t the same shade.

How do you deal with the sedentary lifestyle that comes with being overloaded at work and needing to be in front of the computer most days, sometimes into the AM just to get things done? I’ll have a good week where I get to go to the gym everyday, and then 2 weeks of it being impossible, having super late nights, throwing off my sleep schedule and still not keeping up. It’s frustrating and feel hopeless when lack of time is literally the factor, not some excuse

Just need to vent. I Learned the hard way that your coworkers and partners are not your friends. They’re only friendly when it serves them. I was so close with some of the partners at my firm, they’d come to events with my non work friends, were supportive of major life changes and would keep in touch daily. Ever since giving notice, they’ve been giving me the cold shoulder and it hurts. I can’t wait to get out of here. My only regret is staying here as long as I did and wasting time.

So I just got fired…. And was told I’d get two months severance… I’m in utter shock since I just got back from the hospital. I was told I needed to improve my performance in January and all the check ins I’ve had I was told I’m doing much better and was put on multiple long term projects and then this happened. I’m in shock and idk if 2 months severance is good bad?!? Idk thoughts?

Started a new job when I was 3 months pregnant. My probation period will end when I am six months pregnant (September). I am beginning to show and am not sure if I should tell my boss prior to or after my probation period. She’s a female with older children, and I’ve had nothing but positive feedback - but you never know. Thoughts?

What are your favorite places/brands for buying casual dresses?

I’m WFH and STRUGGLING with productivity. I’m now “getting dressed” every a.m. in hopes of tricking myself into more motivation. I feel ridiculous wearing my usual work clothes, so I’m looking for dresses/options that are more casual but are still real clothes?

Please also share any tips for (1) resetting when you’ve let your life go to hell and are v overwhelmed with fixing it and (2) staying focused + motivated while WFH. TIA!
