My fiancé and I are being gifted a ton of stuff this holiday season from her parents. Her and her parents keep on saying they are gifts to the both of us, but I’m not being involved in the process of picking the gifts, only she is. Most of the items will be used weekly or displayed in our apartment. Am I wrong to feel left out and ask to have my input on these gifts since they are for the two of us? Or should I just feel grateful that I’m getting gifts? I don’t want it to not feel like my place

Big Law Dads: How much time do you usually take off when your wife has a baby? And do you actually get to take off, or do you just end up working from home half the time? My wife is due Mid-December, and I’m staffed on 4 M&A deals trying to close by year end, so it’s not looking promising.

Hey Boschlers,
Is tomorrow holiday??

When is it either allowed or seen as OK to start using FTO? I recently started here and while I’m not looking to slack off and take time off, I just want to know how it works. (Plus, I don’t want to not use something that I can or should use.) Elementary stuff, I know. But I’ve freelanced my whole career until now. Thanks

How often do you take a vacation?

I am so beyond ready to leave my current job, but can’t yet, since bonuses are paid out in January. 😬

If buy the partners you work with regularly a holiday gift, how much do you spend? Usually I get baked goods or food items which you can’t tell the actual amount spent on. This year, though, I’d like to support local restaurants by encouraging people to order takeout—hence, giving gift cards.

How much is appropriate for a restaurant gift card from an associate to a partner?

For all you retail people...are you experiencing a very slow holiday season? I am a retail manager and I feel like this season has been freakishly slow. I thought we would at least match last year's number or be up a little bit but we are trending down. I talked to employees of other stores in the mall and they are saying the same thing. Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?
