I’ve only taken 4 days off so far this year under our “unlimited PTO” policy. Last year I barely hit 14 days, even though a prior manager suggested 25 days should be the goal at my tenure. Things are hectic with one colleague on maternity leave, and I don’t have more PTO scheduled. What’s the best way to approach my manager about this and get some real time off planned?

What's your bonus period?

Are you planning your own schedule/case deadlines now? If so, you just need to build in space for a week vacation and take advantage of upcoming potential long weekends when the opportunity presents itself. It is something you need to be constantly mindful of though.

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?

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.

Not sure if that’s a typical caseload or not?

Hello, I’m an associate (almost at the one year mark) at a midsize firm on the EPL team. I did about 2 years of employment law as a clerk during school and know that’s what I want to go into. I’ve asked for more EPL work but keep catching PI cases. I second-chaired an employment trial but don’t see any EPL work for the foreseeable future and wasn’t getting as much EPL exposure as I wanted before the trial. Any advice on a lateral move to a bigger firm with a broader range of EPL work?
