Y’all, 4:30. Lmao. Don’t be on CP time.

I would show up around 4. It allows you to get to know the people there on an intimate level without everyone there.

I would get there by 5. Let fill up a little.

At the earliest I would arrive 4:45pm, not too early and not too late.

Thanks everyone. Other perspectives I’ve heard were 3:55 pm- to be there to “assist” with set up. Another person told me 4 pm and be right on time

Does anyone have family members who constantly demand money because they feel like you’re rich now because you’re a lawyer? I’ve always wanted to be in a position to help my family but we all live in the high COL city so my salary doesn’t carry me as far as it would elsewhere. I’ve given a detailed summary of all of my expenses yet every month one family member in particular comes to me for rent money (not some, the full amount, and they refuse to get a job). It has become quite the burden.

Anyone else have to deal with a rude legal assistant? Been working with a legal assistant for over a year, and to say she’s rude and difficult is an understatement. She’s quick to tell me if she can’t do an assigned task,my files are a disorganized mess, and she sends snarky email responses. I talked to the managing partner who agrees her behavior is problematic. He’s suggested the three of us schedule a meeting to discuss, but that feels too formal. I’d rather ask for a reassignment. Help!
