Long: associates nattering about rumored layoffs

Short: actual layoffs

Hi all, say you get equity vested in 4 years with a one year cliff. Let’s say the company goes from $50M Valuation to $2bn in that one year. Is there any laws that protect you from being fired during the cliff period? I’m not sure if this ever happens, but couldn’t the employer, if they had zero morals, just fire you during the cliff period so you are left with nothing?

*this is probably the worst case ever, not actual thing, not personal experience, just trying to learn

Curious for everyone’s thoughts on real-estate right now.. my spouse and I are in Denver and trying to buy our first home. To get a halfway decent 3BR home, we have to spend upwards of 500k and still put a little work/investment in to update the home.. I can’t help but feel we should be waiting for 6 more months and seeing if the price drops.. I want to take advantage of the low rates right now, but can’t believe a half million still requires further investment to update the home.

What are the best ways to collect demographic details from your employees?

Our business is two years old and about 60 full time employees strong. We've never gathered demographic details from our team members such as ethnicity, cultural identify, sexual orientation, etc. and recently ran into an instance where the percentages of diversity among staff was requested. We obviously do not intend on guessing so I'd love your best options of how you gathered this info. where you are! thanks.

Anyone have tips for industry interviews for a tax role, but with folks from cross functional teams (e.g., corporate development and legal)? What kind of questions should I expect?

Money management tips? Or resources for learning to manage money? Grew up with parents who know nothing about money and have 0 saved for retirement. Now that I’m making good money I want to make sure I don’t repeat their mistakes.

Have a client who lost their original stock certificates but has pdf copies of the original certificates. The client now wants replacement stock certificates. Do the replacement stock certificates need new stock certificate numbers or should the replacement stock certificates match the pdfs? This is Delaware for reference.

I’m an IP associate (focused mainly on trademarks) in an AMLaw 200 firm (slightly below NY market pay) and I’m curious to know what IP groups (mainly trademark related practices) at V50 firms are like. My practice is relatively chill. No major fires to put out - steady and predictable 8-9 billable hours a day. I can generally not work on weekends. Am I at a unicorn shop or is this normal for Trademark practices?

Recruiters calling my work phone from different numbers so I pick up. It’s getting so frustrating and aggressive. Just email me, I don’t have time to talk!!!

Any insight on what K&L Gates Miami is like? (in litigation)

Burnt out. I feel increasingly bitter over even a few hours spent on work during the weekends. I know it’s normal in this industry and expected. It’s just been a really rough year and I’ve been working every weekend for the past couple of months.

After my clerkship ends in a couple months, I’ll be joining a biglaw firm as an associate, and it will be my first associate gig (went straight to clerking out of law school).

I’ve never worked with a paralegal before, so I’m hoping to learn the best ways to work with/utilize a paralegal. (I know it can be firm dependent)

Attorneys, how do your paralegals support you?

Paralegals, what types of tasks do you usually work with associates on, and how can an associate make your life easier?

How do you all take care of things outside of work? The last thing I want to do after being hyper-organized at work is figuring out my budget or retirement plan or scrubbing the bathtub or figuring out what to buy at the grocery or planning a vacation. I feel so burnt out I can only just sleep on weekends and can’t bring myself to go out or even do basic self care. I feel bad putting this all on my husband and how would I even have the energy to raise kids??

Project estimated to take 5 hours took me 8. What do I do re billing? Partner I never worked for before.

Who else has trouble staying in the office all day (for those in the office)? I have to get out and walk somewhere at least once a day. How are folks fine with staying in an office for 9-10 hours a day?

I’m so so unwell today and feel awful having to tell my team and take some time off.

Has anyone had experience with secondment interviews? Are they just like regular interviews?

How do you stay motivated day-to-day when the work gets boring? I'm a first-year associate who was assigned a long-term project with no deadlines. I'm struggling to bill 8 hours/day on this incredibly repetitive project.

Why are the expectations on billable hours so extreme on lawyers? Consulting, accounting and other comparable jobs, apart from investment bankers, are way below lawyers.

And it’s not that lawyers won’t make enough money if they work less - reduce hours by 10% and you’d still be making fortunes as a partner and a small fortune as an associate.

Anyone at Foley Hoag? I’ve heard conflicting info on bonus. Is it full market bonus at 1850? I was told by a friend that it wasn’t market bonus until like 2000 or something, but someone on here said 1850.

What do you when a partner asks if you can take on a a new project if you know you're giving notice at the end of the week and have no other reason to turn them down? And you don't want to burn bridges before you leave? They know I'm not busy.

Partners trying to put me on new deals on my last week. Seriously…😡
