Is your firm treating 12/26 and 12/27 as firm holiday since the 24th and the 25th are during the weekend this year? Of course client demands would dictate whether people will be working, but curious what the official policy is. For what it’s worth, my firm treated the day after thanksgiving as holiday and I didn’t have to work for the whole day.

The 26th is “Christmas Day Observed.” Which for transactional people means, congratulations, you get no real day off for the holiday! There is no way clients will be observing anything on the Monday after Christmas on the last week before the year end.

Half of 12/23 and 12/26, and 1/2 “off” though as noted above there’s no way we’ll get these days in corporate. Kinda screwed by having Christmas on a Sunday because that’s one of the only protected holidays all year

couldnt agree more and if it helps I’m in dispute but with a trial coming up - no way are we getting any time off

26th only. But oddly they are giving us the 12/30 off for New Years instead of 1/2.

We don’t get anything for new years. Just the 26th, then MLK Day 🙂

Lol

What's a holiday?

Lol seriously. Since when does it matter to associates that the firm allows IT, HR, and legal assistants to take the day off?

No - not for transactional lawyers. Deals need to get done before EOY.

I have been working in my job for a year now but I have 5 years of experience. I am technically doing 3 full time jobs - marketing manager, social media manager & part time recruiter for a trucking company. I am starting to become overwhelm and SEVERELY underpaid. I’m only at 45k for all of the work I do.

So my question is how do you ask for a raise? How much should you project for over what you’re already making? What should you have prepared to back up your reasoning?
