Need to WFH but I love my current place of work. I'm worried about talking to them about the life change that Ive been given. All of what I do can be WFH, but I am very worried this discussion will leave room for a "let-go". How would you approach your supervisor and CFO?

Depending on the life change, I may discuss with HR first to see if an accommodation is appropriate and get their thoughts on how to approach the conversation.

I sat down with them and discussed what was going on. Although it felt extremely awkward and that it will not work out in my favor I'm really hoping things will work out for the better either direction. This team I work with is a great team. Can only hope for the best. I did send an email on behalf of a matter I needed to discuss with them. Thanks for the advice!

I work at a ‘free market’ firm and have developed a very good reputation among partners. Naturally, they are drowning me in work. Each time a new case comes up, the partner will email asking if I have “time and interest” in helping. When I’m at capacity, I take these words at face value and explain why I can’t do it, and that seems to work out ok with no hard feelings. But what’s the “interest” thing? If I don’t want to work on a toxic tort case, do I just say that and pass?

What’s your take on working along side a team in marketing but barely any of your team enjoy the social present, let alone having actual social accounts.

Thoughts?

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
