Okay kind of silly question. I’m a first year. What can I say besides “Will do!” Or “Sure thing” to acknowledge/respond to a partners request when I otherwise don’t have any questions.

I always have to answer the phone bc coworker says people have trouble w/ his accent, but he's perfectly easy for me to understand... what gives?

We need to make colored shirts more acceptable at work. Pastels, faded colors, and specially light blue only looks good on people without skin pigmentation. 😞

New first year here (aka started three weeks ago) and my senior that I’ve been working with primarily has been so, so nice. I even messed something up (not a huge deal, but definitely still an inconvenience) and she just said no worries, we will figure it out that’s my bad for missing it when reviewing. Just wanted to express a general appreciation for everyone who is patient with juniors like me. Anything I can do (other than saying thanks) to express appreciation for all the help?

The next time that you are considering asking for points for smallest mistakes of HK, just think how you'd feel if your client reports your small mistakes to your partner and ask for discount

Stayed at the Ritz. Privacy tag on the door and a housekeeping staff walks in (without knocking) on my girlfriend barely dressed. 1. Wtf, “privacy” tag?! 2. What’s the least compensation we should ask

Best work tote bag? Looking for something simple and classy.

I started working at a real estate office about 2 weeks ago and my boss is demanding I give him access to my personal phone since it's the one I use for work. Is it me or is this an insane request?

Best watch to wear for client meetings for me ? Don’t want to seem like a dbag but I do like nice things so I want something that is nice but maybe flies under the radar.

I think there should be more males caretakers in this world. Some of my clients just feel more comfortable with a guy and it's kind of sad how often they say I'm the only male they could find.

Do you think it’s a good idea/professional to inform your coworkers about your side hustle? Would it be okay for them to add you on social media?

Other teachers are constantly asking to borrow my art supplies. It is now only September and I'm almost out of paint. How do I say no, but still keep a cordial work place?

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?

Co-worker told me first time he met the partner on the engagement he said "you were supposed to be a girl".

The partner was trying to make team more diverse, not a creep lol.

How many of you had the n word slip when at work? Did the person brush it off or did something bad happen?

I always had a feeling my team didn’t like me as much as the other members on my team. Just found out that they’ve been having happy hour sessions and left me off the invite. 😪

SOS: I need maternity business clothes for a trip next Monday. Any Amazon Prime dressed that worked for you? Nordstroms/Macys does not ship in time 😭

Do you feel judged by your co-workers for things you do in your personal life?

If so, how?

Giving notice this week…logistics require this to be done over a phone call. Will be the most recent of several associates who’ve given notice within the past 2 months (smaller firm). Any advice on how I can avoid/soften being the final nail in the proverbial coffin and/or straw that breaks the camel’s back and/or insert your preferred idiom here? Don’t need the pent up ire of these partners to rain down on me just because I’m last to leave…

A colleague sent me an email to notify me of a sale on his favorite wine: $200/bottle

Partner wants me in office to “collaborate.” Partner is too busy to discuss any questions I have on anything when I’m in office.

Would a role in internal audit for a company I want to get into be a nice transition to operations? What can I expect the daily life of internal audit to be?

Looking to get a new couch & wondering if anyone has bought the Bryant couch from Joybird? Or have any recommendations! Thanks in advance.

Hello, all!

I am new to fishbowl. I am looking to transition out of public education and secure a role in instructional design, learning/training and development. I will appreciate any leads.

I got an email about applying to be a summer instructor for Kode with Klossy. I'm looking to learn more about it from other teachers who have done it before?

I made a mistake. I talked with the ex this morning. He said he misses me. And that while he walk talking to the other woman, he wished he was talking to me instead. And when he saw that I didn’t respond to his texts, he drank a shit ton. And then called this morning.

He’s not willing to commit to the other women because he’s not over me.

I need to block him.

I'm on this new intermittent fasting train. Just 12 hours to start (including sleep), and definitely feeling more energized in the mornings

Does anyone have suggestions for a talented DP who’s looking to get repped but having a hard time getting responses?

Follow up etiquette advice needed (public relations industry) : hey everyone- needed some advice on if it’s appropriate to leverage offers and everything within the PR digital industry. I’m expecting an offer soon with a firm, and I’m in the last stage at another. Is it appropriate to send an email to firm one telling them I’m in final stages with another and asking where I stand to maybe get an offer faster? Any insight would be great!

I’m pretty sure colleagues at my firm are inflating their billable hours. Is this the norm? I suspect many of you will think this is obvious and/or that I’m naive but wtf? I find hitting 2200 is tough even with a good sized work load. Am I just expected to play the game? I don’t want to sound self-righteous but if most are lying just to make the requirement, then maybe the requirement should be lower.

Is their any night shift call centers that’s work from home? Can you please comment the company name.

Does it ever make sense to contribute to a Traditional IRA if you can't deduct the contributions (e.g. over income limits)? Aware of Roth conversion but does it ever make sense to stick with Trad.?

Insurance coverage associates: how long does it take you to write a 10 page memo about policy law?

Is an MBA worth it just to network, take a break and have fun? I have 5 years of IB from a BB (based in London) and feel the career uplift will be limited for me. The jobs I plan to target post MBA are jobs I can get today with my current CV. I come from a working class background and plan to self-fund, so cost is an important factor here

Has anyone heard of protheragen? Is it legit?

1st year/stub in Texas. I was a summer at my firm in both 2019-2020. Thought I preferred litigation, and told the firm that last summer. Had a change of heart, and in April of this year asked the CTO to switch to transactional. However, she said they didn’t have a need for another junior in transactional. Now I’m in lit and hate it. Can I ask to switch again? When would be the best time to do so? Or should/can I lateral as a 1st yr? I like my firm, just don’t want to start my career like this

Any insight into V&E tax practice? Horror stories? Will I be killing myself? Lol

How do you strike the balance between being available but not too available so you’re not taken advantage of? I’m a specialist and got an email from the deal team on Saturday afternoon, and I just replied now (Sunday evening). I have a feeling I’ll get chewed out by a partner tomorrow
