Sexism.

How do you all deal with sexism from opposing counsel? Both the partner (male) on the case and I have told opposing counsel (old white male) that I am the point of contact on a case. We have relayed this to OC many times. OC continues to call the partner. I have tried being nice but at this point I think he is just sexist and I am tired of being “nice”.

Ask the male partner to ignore calls. OC will quickly remember you exist

He gets it and it’s intentional. Document it and bring it to the court’s attention when appropriate.

Call him out. “My colleague and I have repeatedly told you that I am the point of contact on this case. Is there a reason you nevertheless continue to contact my colleague, in the first instance, instead of me?” Praying you don’t get met with something like “sorry hunny! An old guy like me can’t remember 🙄”

I agree with this response. Put it in writing and be direct.

Is it sexism or hierarchy? If he’s a partner he may think he should be working opposite a peer. Not that it makes it better, but a thought.

Have the partner tell him all communication must be in writing going forward and you have to be the one to be emailed.

My father took a home loan, and the same home is kept as mortgage.
I'm paying arround 22k emi for the same but unable to exempt tax as the loan is on my father's name.

I googled a lot how to transfer it but neither gift deed nor sale deed would work as the property is on mortgage that's under bank's ownership (until loan is fulfilled).
Tax is also getting deducted, I'm paying hefty emis.
What can I do?
Please advise 🙂

Anyone else have experience leading product managers across multiple groups who don't have much to do with each other? Or leading a group whose teams don't really make sense as a group? Feels like a lot of context switching on my end all the time, which sucks up my energy to go deep with leading each of my product managers. How did you deal?
