Is it rude to not answer your manager's/colleague's phone calls beyond your working hours? Will it invite any serious repurcussions?

Yeah I guess. Pick up if it's not a regular thing. Otherwise set up a 1:1 to discuss work life balance with your manager

I think it depends. If it's rare then fine I'll pick up. But if it's a constant thing, I nope out and like Amazon said above, have a chat with them to understand why it's happening

I would never pick up the phone. Once, I'm off, IM OFF.

Unless I'm on call, that's gonna go to voicemail everytime. I get paid to do the company's bidding during work hours, I'm not going to sacrifice family time in the evenings to work for free.

I guess it would depend on whether it was rare or commonplace. If rare, I'd probably assume it was some type of emergency and pick up. If it wasn't urgent, I'd definitely not make a habit of it.

Do you think it would be better to add a female associate to my practice or a male or do you think it wouldn't matter as long as they're qualified. I know sounds like I'm stepping into a mine field but I'll concede a woman adds different intrinsic attributes to a team- on the other hand, I've already got a wife maybe I should steer clear??

I work at a ‘free market’ firm and have developed a very good reputation among partners. Naturally, they are drowning me in work. Each time a new case comes up, the partner will email asking if I have “time and interest” in helping. When I’m at capacity, I take these words at face value and explain why I can’t do it, and that seems to work out ok with no hard feelings. But what’s the “interest” thing? If I don’t want to work on a toxic tort case, do I just say that and pass?

My previous manager would track us by hours daily, made a fuss everytime anything stretched and guilt us for that and the unplanned leave too unless it was COVID. Hinted him a lot of time, this is problematic but apparently he considered it "standard practice for agile".

Now 8/10 teammates have switched within < 1 year of project start (6-7 months with him) which tbh had good work in our opinion and even team was fun to work with even though none of us ever met in person.
