How do you fellow writers deal with a domineering creative partner? I’m in a weird position, working with an AD who tends to shoot down my ideas, and aggressively pushes “his” in client meetings. In all my previous partnerships, all ideas were considered “ours”. Adding to the imbalance, this person is actually an ACD, and the CD is out on leave. Usually CD would reign this person in. So at the moment, this partner actually does have all the power in the formal sense. Is there anything I can do?

My colleagues have started shorting my name significantly and have started even using the nickname in front of clients and new starters. It’s not even a nickname I call myself - only my boyfriend uses it. Should I just let it fly or ask them to please stop?

Us white people need to put ourselves in colored people’s shoes. How would we feel working in a predominantly “colored” work environment where everyone wants us to act “colored” (whether Black, Asian, Latinx)? How comfortable are we going to be day by day when being yourselves mean no promotion and could get us fired? When our fate depends on another race who gives favoritism to their own race? Colored people are the most resilient people in corporate America. The true backbone of our success

Have you seen women wear ties and "masculine"-looking suits to work? Was it accepted by client and team? I've never worn a tie to work, but when I've worn clothing that had a more "masculine" fit either in grad school or some work environments, I've gotten comments and looks, or sometimes asked (or people gossiped) about my orientation. When I wear more "feminine"-looking clothing, I feel more more uncomfortable and awkward. 🤷🏼‍♀️

At what point should I be worried about my ability or inability as a lawyer? I’m a first year, but feel as though my office has very high expectations from top to bottom. Often placed on cases alone with a partner who is too busy to answer questions. Other times mid-levels sort of deflect when they don’t clearly communicate what they want done (e.g., “draft part of this brief” and gets upset when it isn’t up to snuff). Mainly, I am worried that I am failing at this and am not a good lawyer.

I’ve gone to a handful of AA meetings. I know I need it and I want to be there but I’m pretty reserved/guarded around people I don’t know well. So I get turned off and start to shut down when I’m offered a contact list, sponsor, etc within the first 3 minutes, tell a quick nervous white lie to get a bit of space and then don’t want to go back out of guilt. How can get started w a group honestly and keep my comfort zone the first few weeks?

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
