Is it rude to ask employees at the office for coffee chats? I just started my internship, so I haven't been staffed on any engagements. I don't want to be asking around so many times and have people talk negatively about me in the office

Which people or which department in your agency are the sharpest/most professionally dressed? And does their attire affect your perception of them?

I feel like I am so inexperienced in my job that everything takes so long to complete and get used to. Hence, I constantly feel guilty that I am spending a lot of time on my tasks and I am not adding enough value especially given the cost that clients pay for our time. I also fear that most of my time will get written off at the end of the day by the matter managers. Is this feeling normal and does it go away?

On a big zoom call this morning. Child walks in fully naked and COVERED in marker. I mean face, legs, hands, everything. Even better, I didn't hear them right away and a coworker had to let me know they were there via chat. Turned around and my kid looked like a soldier in army paint. Not my finest parenting moment since I just pushed them out into the hallway and continued with my meeting. Sharing the shame here

I am the only immigrant with an accent in my office and it’s almost a daily thing now that my bosses/coworkers would explain terms to me that I already know. I’d often freeze when they do that because my first reaction is always confused. How do you talk about it with them after the fact especially when it seems like it’s not a big deal to them?

I work at a small agency with an approachable cco. I’m drowning in free time while the rest of the office is always busy. How do I approach him to convince him that I am capable of writing more than an email and banner a week?

If your MD invites the team to his house for a BBQ, is it ok to bring him a bottle of champagne as a gift? Should it be chilled?

What’s a side gig I could do that includes me dressing in a suit and talking to people

I keep seeing people getting upskilled or hired for better opportunities and I feel bad! But I’ve learnt that it’s best not to say bad about them rather it’s best to work upon ourselves … That really helps!

I filed an ethics complaint in early June, and after going up the chain and calling out nothing was done on it, and I was being gaslighted/my personal life being used to show I am the problem in early October, I met with the execs in Ethics. The initial meeting, they gaslighted me, and then tone was better in the second meeting. Now 2-3 weeks later, General Counsel wants to see me. What should I do? Should I be worried? I have sought counsel outside of the company. This is huge fintech company.

Okay the time has finally come. I was offered a new job! Now for the hard part. I have to give my notice to my boss. I absolutely love my boss. We have a great relationship. I've only stayed at my office for so long because of her. Any words of advice of how to soften the blow?

Lateral associate question: when submitting my conflicts questionnaire to clear conflicts, do I need my firm’s prior approval of the disclosures I’m making? I’m not sure how this works…

Do any of you actually “slide” into DMs? I feel like that’s something I’d do as a college freshman to chase someone I met at a party the night before. As a professional it just seems creepy now, plenty of my friends were talking about it this weekend like it was the bee‘s knees.

I need some interview tips, I have a virtual interview for another HR Manager position at a much larger company, in the email it said to dress for the position you are interviewing for. At my current company we are very casual Friday all week long as we are in the Non-Profit Arts Entertainment industry. Any suggestions would be appropriated.

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.

My manager gets mad at me for sending things out without him telling me to, then he also gets mad when I don't send things out because I'm waiting for his go ahead. What the fuck...

Month out from trial. I represent one of two codefendants. Other codefendant’s experts have been deposed. Mine are next week. Pl just cancelled them with no explanation. What could the explanation be for why you wouldn’t want to depose a defendant’s experts? The only thing I can think of is they want to try and settle with us or surprise them at trial.

Just went on LinkedIn. It’s terrifying how similar everyone’s cheesy profiles are. Also so many profiles are beefed up beyond belief. Judging by the profiles, everyone is a top tier corporate god aka data wizard aka game changer.

I'm a US citizen living abroad I applied almost 11 months ago for my spouse. Married for years, kid. I wait and wait. It seems this will take 2 years, maybe more. I feel trapped. On one side the US system demands I work and domicile in US, the other side says families should be prioritized to stay together. My spouse has had enough of the process. I feel trapped abroad and locked in a dysfunctional system. We're just in limbo, it's depressing

Senior up for promo to manager in audit in next year. Have decided I do not want to be an auditor. Which of these paths do you think is best?

1. Stay 1 more year, exit to industry with manager title.
