Maternity Leave. My prior firm had paid leave for 6 weeks and 5 weeks of vacation. So leave was pretty much covered. My current firm however, has no policy I am aware of, and only offers 2 weeks of vacation. Unfortunately, I was unaware of this until after I was hired. That’s not even enough to cover the insurance! :( Any suggestions on how to approach this conversation, appropriate questions to ask, etc. Any advice is so greatly appreciated!!

What about legal work is currently causing your mental health struggles?

Mine’s the hours, which is not normally my issue. I billed 230 for June and July and am already at 145 for August. My ability to focus is getting worse by the day, so I’m working longer to bill the same hours and have had to pull a couple all nighters. I burst into tears this morning when a client changed plans and now wants a major project by end of month, on top of my other deadlines next week... I just want to sleep.

Hello fishes. Need some insurance advice.
My parents are dependent on me. My 62 yo dad and 57yo mom do some part time work and makes $1000/mon. Dad has some health complications like diabetes, high bp, genetic heart issues, liver problems etc. Does it make sense to get a life insurance for him - 20 yr term, $1M coverage. Premium is around $500. I am thinking I can pay the premium but if something happens to dad, it will help my mom pay be self-sufficient

How does one tell their boss (owner of the company) that you are burnt out?

I’m in Georgia, and in the process of settling a claim. The liability insurance rendered the full policy limits of 25k, a release has not been signed yet, the coverage is 25/50can I still send a loss of consortium demand for the non-injured spouse ?

Obesity is a chronic disease not a choice and it should be treated as such.
By both “body positivity” challengers who too often say obesity comes from laziness and lack of strong will and by obese people who also too often shield themselves stating “this is how I am, it is impossible to change it” when in fact they do not want to accept that fat is literally killing them.
Thoughts?

I am thinking of making the jump from SLP to healthcare administration. Looking for insight on pay, job opportunities and job satisfaction. Thank you!!!

Transactional associate. Lateraled 6 months ago and one of the biggest pain points has been my new firm’s inclination to “hop on a call”, which of course requires every single stakeholder to join. The end result being every call has 25 people on it and nothing actually gets done because no one wants to ask a question that could come off as silly. It’s destroying my ability to get anything done during the day. It’s a complete performance and it drives me nuts.
