Have a coworker who volunteers for work but never ends up doing it. At what point does it make sense to go to the partner to address this? We’re both midlevels, and I’m tired of having to put in even more time every weekend to pick up his slack. If this were a junior, I’d address it with them first, but this is unacceptable from a fifth/sixth year.

Anyone else having problems with students using their own personal zoom account or someone else's?

EY folks, a couple of questions about H1 extension filing. 1) Does EY law file extension under premium by default? 2) Can’t see my USCIS case no. on Zoom yet. When is that usually available to track?

Looking for advice on project management software or tools for HR consulting. Our firm doesn’t have anything that is standard or used at all, and while some of us are starting to venture into using Microsoft Teams, I feel like there are so many tools out there and we could be doing things way more efficiently. We work in small client teams (1-3 team members per client usually) and it’s a mix of strategy, tactical, and outsourced HR work. Any suggestions?

Tomorrow is 1st day at EYGDS.
Have received invite for IT Orientation on webex for 45mins.
Any idea what is it about?
Will it be on Video or audio only would work.

Question time! Two part. 1) What dating sites or apps are you on and 2) do you feel like it’s been particularly tough dating in your 30s/40s during COVID, assuming that we probably date (on average) more seriously than 20s peeps? I personally have only been on one date! A zoom one last week.

Client makes me fly in every week to sit at a desk and attend all meetings via Skype. Sigh. I'm pretty sure Skype works at my house!

Any other juniors get mistaken for senior associates? I’m in my late 20’s, but I think I look older and tend to dress less casually than the rest of the office, so that could be a reason. I was in another practice area for a few years, but am a junior first year associate as I lateraled over into another practice area. Partners at other firms call me and attempt to negotiate deal terms and structure directly with me, and investment banks ask me questions during Zoom meetings. Is this weird?

How the f do people leave a webex meeting in 2 seconds? It takes me at least 10.

Hi all, I am a Enterprise BDR currently at my company and looking for referrals to tech companies such as Slack, Salesforce, Outreach, etc. for AE Roles.

Morale is low rn on my team. Superstar team members have left the firm, and more members are trying to leave before busy season because we’ve had to pick up the slack. How to still stay motivated?

About to give my notice... company is having alternate week (wfh/office) arrangement. is it more appropriate to wait for a f2f convo or do it on zoom? (as an introvert doing it virtually feels more comfortable... but what do u think?) 🤨

EY folks - anyone up for a virtual happy hour next week sometime? We could maybe use zoom?

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

What do you talk about on Zoom happy hours?

In house lawyers for global companies: do you expect your international travel to rebound - ever? I am at a firm where I practice in government enforcement and investigations, and I always saw myself going in house to do this work and travel abroad frequently. Are those days gone because of zoom?

Slack is down. Guess I can't do any work. Time for brunch break.

Is the Berkeley coding bootcamp any good?

I just accepted a position negotiating transactions. I have lots of negotiating experience, as well as drafting experience. But I did that mainly litigating matters.
Can you describe the likely transition to all transactional? I have 24 YOE. I did this for growth. I’m also working on an MBA. (Hoping for leadership roles in the future).

Butterfly locs. Professional yay or nay?

By now, we've all seen the horrific images coming out of Texas with Hatian migrants. It's clear the US does not want those folks here and is willing to spend whatever it costs to fly them back to Haiti, even if they had previously settled elsewhere first.

What responsibility do African and Black nations have to support? Should this be a time where Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Jamaica, etc steps up to provide asylum and support to Hatians in need?

Is anyone familiar with the Hudson Valley area? The stereotype for me is that it is very white and relatively more conservative, so wondering how welcoming it would be if we wanted to have a 2nd home there? Any exurban spots that are more inclusive or not full of MAGAs/hostile white ethnics?

This Kavanaugh nomination is bullshit.

I’m calling my Senators to do everything they can to stop prevent this far-right Trump protector from a lifetime appointment.
