Candidly ask the SM if you can reverse the changes and do it. I’m sure you already have the managers sing-offs anyway 🤷🏼‍♀️

I had to do something similar when th SM added significant risks relating to a transaction not even relating to the fiscal year...

Serious billing question - if during the course of the day, you first receive an email from Client A at say 11:10am and you read it, you then respond to it at 12:20pm. You get another email at 2pm from Client A and respond immediately. The next email comes in at 4pm, you read it and respond only at 4:30pm. None of the email responses take more than 3-5mins. You are working on matters for other clients at all other times during the day. How much are you billing for Client A?

Unsure of how to handle - or what the collective thinks - but in an interview last week COO of the office asks me ‘so are children in your near future?’

Preface, this was preceded by the interviewer going on and on about the need to work long and unfair hours (his words).

This is a pile of bullshit right? Also illegal from what I can gather. Have no desire to pursue the roll but figure I should tell them how shitty that is.

bizarre situation. Working w older male partner and younger male associate on precedent- setting litigation, super important to client. Client’s entire mission is this litigation. Older male partner and younger male associate are buddy buddy and blowing off all my concerns. I point out writing deficits, problems with our arguments, areas we need to tighten up and they see me as annoying and overly pedantic. Not sure if I should go to female dept chair abt this or just keep quiet.
