We printed hundreds of photos of his face and put them all over the office and made face masks of his face that we wore. He f%^ing hated it.

We were admittedly a bit out of control in that office. The senior partner turned the mini party we had to toast him into a roast with prop comedy. Oh the Big 4 crazies…

Bring in a client for them to sign on.

- pring him a picture of something that s/he really like and put it in a frame (family?)
- get helium balloons
- cake and celebrate
- maybe a physical notebook/ card and everyone writes her/him something
- something that ideally stays with him forever (so in 20 years he/she would still have it for memory)
- new office bag / pen / classy notebook/ bag

What would make you leave a contract?

I've been a government attorney for nearly three years now and have worked in the same office/division since I passed the bar. I've yet to receive a promotion other than two cost of living increases (in sum, a pay increase of 6k over 3 years). I know this is meager, but I'm mostly ok with it, I just want to see some recognition. On the other hand, it's hard for me to imagine negotiating because (given my inexperience), I don't feel I'd be able to do better anywhere else. Any advice?
