It has been a month since I have left my prior firm. My former co-workers continue to reach out to ask about questions about matters/assignment that I worked on while I was at my prior firm. This information they could readily find themselves (e.g., which ancillaries are open w/ the client). How do I politely tell them to leave me alone?

Just stop responding?

This is pretty crazy! I, once, received an email about a matter at a firm I departed, but I did not respond and that was it. Next time, maybe respond saying that you moved on and would appreciate that they wouldn’t reach out to you about firm matters? Or just don’t respond. Not much else you can do.

Reaching out multiple times via text/email for minor/unnecessary questions is crossing boundaries. That shouldn’t be a requirement to maintain good relations. It’s not my job to do their job.

Hi community, humbly seeking professional HR advice. I recently joined my company’s HR team.

This person is 20 years my senior. In the same conversation this person advocated for me on a separate matter & complimented my performance. I am not sure what course of action to take at this time.

I think I may have finally had it.

A couple of decades in this field and now I want to just walk away. The grind in tech is soul-destroying, and the vast majority of the time, coworkers outside of UX have no idea what it is, what it’s for, and how it’s applied. I’m at my wits end and the constant problem is a kind of “willful misunderstanding” of our process and value.

After wasting too many years on design immature companies, It’s senselessly depressing. I’ve given away too much of myself.

What is considered a “large” caseload in employment litigation? I work at a large L&E boutique law firm and handling about 14-15 active litigation cases in state/federal court or arbitration. Some of these matters are multi-plaintiff and multi-defendant cases, but none are class actions. This does not include any matters I am handling in the charge stage or in pre-litigation. Not sure if that’s a typical caseload or not?
