I’m taking the SPHR in less than 2 months and haven’t started studying for it. How difficult is it? I’ve been in HR for 20 years and have experienced ALOT in that time, although there are always employee relations scenarios that surprise me! How much do I really need to study for this? I just can’t seem to motivate myself to do it, I’m so mentally burnt out at the end of the day from a high stress HR job, the last thing I feel like doing is studying HR!

At what degree of distraction do you stop billing? I ask because it’s impossible to work at a peak level for an entire day. So how do you think about times when you are working but being **slow**? How does this translate into time lost in a typical day working? I know this is a function of how busy you are and the kind of work on your plate—but what is usual and unusual?

I recently left teaching and work at KPMG as an EA. What could I go on to do as I gain experience? Having a rough time connecting the dots.

My company still processes unemployment claims manually in CA. I can't figure out how to set this up digitally for my org. Anyone have any experience in setting up digital accounts with the state so you can submit unemployment claims online ? I hate gov websites, always so complicated to navigate what should be a simple create your account process. 🥲😒

A colleague and I were tasked with rolling out an ongoing training. I’ve done 90+% of the work and am annoyed she’s receiving credit by the broader team. I’ve spoken to her about distribution of work, but she does none of what she’s assigned to (she’s acknowledged handling the tasks and has the bandwidth) and acts like it’s a new ask the 2nd/3rd time I follow up. I make it clear to my boss what I’m working on, but doesn’t address the imbalance. How can I better manage this situation?

Got laid off today. Ironicly is I have been looking for a new job for over a year. I guess it's good that I no longer work in a toxic environment & no longer for a criminal. Heartburn from anxiety.

Hi all I need an expert, I recently got and oppertunity I just need more knowledge on hiring to resigning process.

Are you one of those people who practice their comedy routines while checking out at the store? Why are you the way that you are?

I had a job interview for a role that I really want. The hiring manager scheduled me for an interview and did not show up. Emailed me an hour later stating that he got super busy and couldn’t attend, and would like to reschedule. This is a major red flag, but I can’t help but feel that I am missing out since this role pays 50% over what I currently make. Should I let the recruiter know? What’s your take on this?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a therapist in Toronto? One that specializes in high functioning depression would be great

Has anyone here moved from the US legal market to the Canadian legal market? Would love to chat if so. Moving to Toronto in 2022. Thank you :)

Watching US salaries increase AGAIN and wondering why Canadian firms don’t have the same pressure to follow these raises. Is it the relatively small number of big firms? Is it that all the big firm managers work together to keep the market in line? Is it the lack of reporting in the Canadian legal press? I feel like we are all getting screwed.

There is almost nowhere to find reliable bonus information on Canadian firms. I’ve heard of year end bonuses ranging from 10-50% this year (not including Covid bonuses). Let’s start a thread posting year of call, rough billable hours worked and bonus as a percent of salary.

5 year call. 1850 hours. 10%.

Any word on bonuses?

Looking for :
- billable hour targets, bonus structures, whether your firm has provided some form of COViD bonus /retention bonus, and lastly, if your firm will be increasing associate salaries in 2022! It would be great if the firm name was mentioned as well.

What firms in Canadian Big Law have the worst reputations for burning people out?

How widespread will the great resignation be after bonus season?! I’m thinking it will be wild. I know very few happy people right now and most of Big Law has developed a crap reputation for how they treated people during the pandemic. Just me?
