I just found out a lawyer 2 years my senior has written off some of my time through our secretary (and without partner approval).

How do you deal with inexperienced attorneys misguiding you or telling you to do things that are not correct? I’m helping out the Florida office (I’m in Ga) and I’m less familiar with their rules. I really want her to go ask someone what the correct steps are.

I'm not even submissive, it just reminds me of my crazy ex that I had great sex with. He used to blatantly stare at me watch me like prey before we dated. First time I experienced anything like that.

Curious what everyone’s been seeing from the latest Google algo update? I’ve been noticing smaller, niche sites start to show up more in high value SERPs. My hypothesis was that over the pandemic Google over-showed the large sites like NYTimes, Forbes, CNET, TomsGuide, etc in high value categories to make sure users were getting info from well-trusted sources. Now they’re scaling back and giving the little sites some love. Thoughts???
