Manager (VP) mad that I didn’t include her on a call with other Legal VPs earlier this week, despite me not organizing the call. Then Manager gets mad when I ask her to confirm whether I should pass on work to another Legal VP/VP’s team because I should have just sent it over without asking my Manager. Is it just me or is my Manager just being difficult?

Recent grad in MM FDD. I talk to the sr associate i'm supposed to be shadowing a couple times a week but he hasn't had that much work for me the past 3 weeks. He has another sr associate shadowing him. I've just been sitting around playing video games and checking my email/messages every 30 minutes. Is this normal for new hires?

One of my coworkers has withheld information that's important to my research because of a personal conflict we had. Should I speak to management or is it his right?

My coworker brought a puppy to work, who bit my hand. I ended up losing my temper and yelling at them. Now everyone is mad at me for blowing up at work, even though this is something I shouldn't have had to deal with in the first place!

I single-handedly invented something new and a colleague on my team sent me their resume to review — they say that they co-designed the thing. Do I bring it up with them?

How can I not be awkward at conferences where all my remote coworkers that I've never met will be there? I have an issue with awkward silence and not knowing what to say or how to act.

Is anyone willing to share tips on avoiding burnout and setting boundaries with their executives? I have six people on my desk and am finding it difficult to stay motivated and continue giving everyone the same level of support.

We're all supposed to pool our tips but I'm pretty sure the waiters are keeping most of the money for themselves. I already told the manager and she kinda blew me off. Anyone else been through this?

I’m feeling very sad. I just learned that the partner in my previous firm got fired. I considered him my mentor. He took me under his wing. He was my Don Draper and I was his Peggy Olson. I’m really bummed about this, heartbroken and worried. Nobody knows why. The ex-colleague said everything was normal, they sent him emails but bounced back. Nobody saw it coming. 😢

What levers can a “Chief Ethics Officer” pull to make a company behave in an ethical manner? Is the position performative, i.e. does it exist to fulfill a need to appear ethical versus as a forcing function for the company to act ethically?

My supervisor micromanages me when I work on his code base, and it's slowing me down. How do I tell them?

Thoughts on asking for a new manager?

So my current CD kinda doesn't give any direction. They look at what I've done and change like one word. Maybe I'm an acd and I don't need much oversight? They also ask me to help lighten their load but never know what needs to be done and tell me to ask the account or design team. I just don't think they are super interested in working any more. 1 junior and a mid level already asked to leave this team. I don't wanna cause trouble or get them (or me) fired

I was working at a Hotel one night & I saw a man appearing on two different floors, then in the stairwell. The man was in his 70’s or 80’s. He was wearing nothing but tidy whiteys. When he got to the front desk I asked “is everything alright? Are you okay?” (Assuming he may be senile),He wasn’t senile, he went swimming & wanted to make me uncomfortable and started to flirt while in his sopping wet see through tidy whiteys- and of course I had to clean up the water he tracked through the lobby.

Very good place to work

Guy I am dating for last 3 months asked me to attend Mother’s Day lunch/dinner with his whole family. I haven’t met any one of them on a 1-1. While I am somewhat comfortable with him, I am an introvert and don’t like to be around groups of people. We usually spend a weekend night together. However, after I gently said no and told him I d feel comfy to first meet his family members 1-1, he seemed to be a little aloof and left early. I like the guy a lot. We aren’t at the typical marriageable age

Anyone interested in taking a walk in the park this upcoming week?

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?

Privacy associate, 3 YOE. I’ve made it to the final round of interviewing for two businesses now over the course of the last 5 months or so that I’ve been applying. Am I too junior to be applying? I’m wondering now if there’s something wrong with me as an applicant. It’s discouraging and exhausting to get through 6ish interviews while working big law hours and get a no and I want to make sure there isn’t a fatal flaw with me as a candidate.

What is your legal department’s structure? It’s time that I restructure my department of 4, about to take on two new hires and I need inspiration. Does the commercial vs corporate structure work?
