I've had a client ask me to lie for her at trial so she "wouldn't get in trouble". Hell no honey. I'm not getting into trouble for you.

A1- the problem here was that she clearly spoke to the ex and kept saying she was going to ruin his house and possessions and proceeded to trash the place. She wanted me to tell the court she was just emotionally distressed and thought she was home the entire night. Only when officers showed up to her house later did she realize she went to his house. So she claimed.

During preparations, she was saying she was going to claim that she was never at his house and wanted me to say that as well. Since the ex didn't have cameras, she thought they would just take our word for it. She was going to deny ever speaking to the ex or trashing the place but she previously told me that she recalled everything and purposefully went there to trash the place.

I’ve had clients ask me similar questions on multiple occasions. I advise them to follow the law and explain that the AC privilege generally doesn’t cover discussions on breaking the law. It’s usually in the context of “what’s the potential consequences of doing X Y Z?”

Is your client a German bank known for constantly being fined?

Sounds like a bad joke and a manifestation of the dark law and economics worldview where breaking rules is just a cost to be balanced against the benefit.

For sure…. What a world

No client is worth jeopardizing your license over.

You don’t want equity at the firms where that’s true… cue joke about me being a super senior associate at a V5.

Hello Guys,

I joined
Cognizant recently, the project interview calls which I am getting is not from my base location.
I have the location constraint, should I wait for the right opportunity or raise this concern to ADP team so they can look in to it?

As per ADP policy, one should not have any constraints and take the project as FCFS basis.

Share your best work tips and tricks!

Don’t know how I didn’t think to do this years ago, but that’s about 50 fewer distractions each day since I’m one of those people who checks every email notification.
