Is anyone else trapped under superiors who view technological literacy as an optional hobby? I’m tired of being told to work smarter, not harder by partners who don't know how to use Ctrl+F. Management drops a mountain of unorganized discovery on your desk at 4 PM, tells you to stay efficient, and then complains when the hours pile up. They want the speed of modern technology but cling to the workflows of the 1990s because they don't understand how data mapping works.

Curious what anyone thinks about cologne? Is it a turn on? I am not really into it.. but I just got a whiff of this dude at the gym and the cologne did something to me 🥰 It was really subtle. I tend to just like the way a man smells (not body odor but just natural scent) and don’t usually like it covered up, but wow this guy tonight 🥵 I might might buy some but i figured it would be gay to ask him “what are you wearing” because that prob isn’t something the bros at the gym do.

Okay...here goes: I’m not sure if I just want to leave my firm or private practice altogether? For those of you who have contemplated leaving private practice, how did you finally come to realize that that was really what made sense for you, as opposed to just switching firms?

I’ve been negotiating a settlement on behalf of a client. OP is a major corp. we’ve gone back and forth for months, almost a year. Finally came to a final agreement and we’re reviewing for final signature. Then client is reviewing and decides they want something else modified. It’s a point of contention. OP has said no. Should I communicate this to client before pushing back against OP’s rejection of the mod?

How often do you respond to emails from law students who want to learn about your firm/practice area? I get like a dozen requests right around OCI every year.
