Is it ok to discriminate against people based on things out of their control or beyond their choice?

Any Partners over here? Why are you not doing enough to make your team members feel less miserable and more appreciated?

Trying to decide who to invite from work. My office is about 45 people total—50-50 attorneys and support staff. I know which associates I’m inviting and know that the others won’t care. But struggling with partners and support staff. I work with some but am close to others that I don’t work with. Reality is that I can’t invite them all but don’t want to offend anyone

Partners, how regularly do you gossip about associates and have you ever written off/avoid an associate?

There are some kickass POC in my office who get respect; they’re more senior than me. I feel like people don’t react as well to me, even though I do/say similar types of things. Tips to get respect?

What’s dress code looking like in the V10 these days? Incoming first year that’s had some *bodily changes* during COVID that’s wondering whether new suits are necessary? I currently have two that fit decently…considering picking up two more if folks are dressed up most days they’re in. Thanks all!

Fuck managers who dump shit on you cause they literally don't know how to do it themselves

Recently I heard someone said that “I’m disappointed in you….” to a coworker. Do you this it’s ok to speak that way to an employee?

As creative directors, have you ever had a client that you just wished you could cut ties with? They're bringing in some money but their attitude is beyond abhorrent.

Just started at this firm this month. Should I get support staff gifts?

One of my coworkers keeps coming to me with questions about the software we use as well as how to do things on our computers.

When I asked him why he didn't just ask his manager, he said that she's really busy and always has her head in something else besides being available for questions.

I need some advice from advisors who have brought other “Junior” Advisors on. What is a fair split? Currently I have passed on my smaller clients to them, as well as providing consistent leads for them to call and meet with. The individual is working to build their own book of business, but up to now doesn’t have much production. They have only been in the business for about 2 years. I also provide an office and everything that comes with that, and admin assistance. Thanks in advance!

My coworkers are constantly making me the target of a joke or casual put down. What should I do to set the right boundary

How do you approach working with an assistant? For example, how do you establish boundaries and expectations from the beginning? What are your daily checkins with them?

I think I am a pretty good programmer. I can do clean coding and make complex systems that are easily maintainable and understandable for my colleague's at a good pace. However, my personality afk is completely the opposite, I'm messy, incoherent in speech, easily confused and distracted and perceived as ditzy. I've been accused of being dumb sheep. (If you know mbti I'm a stereotypical ENFP)

Is this just imposter syndrome from a different angle?

I think there should be more males caretakers in this world. Some of my clients just feel more comfortable with a guy and it's kind of sad how often they say I'm the only male they could find.

I’m a young(ish) male running a private practice. Been with the group a year and a half and haven’t exactly gelled with some of the older employees. We’ve made tremendous financial improvements but in a meeting last night one of the physicians stated, in front of me, maybe we shouldn’t have hired a young guy to run the practice….I can’t think of a more passive aggressive way to ask someone to leave. Thoughts?

Yesterday at a meeting with a big partner every time I spoke he responded to someone else (I was the only black person there). Have you ever been at a meeting and you’re talking yet they won’t respond directly to you. They respond to someone else? Am I over thinking or was that odd

Unsure if my bf and I are incompatible or if I’m not compromising enough. How do you know the difference? He has so many great qualities that I love but also lacks some qualities that I would like to have but idk if I would be giving up on someone that is great for little things.
