Moving to London from India and have no experience living in cold weathers. What immediate clothing would you suggest for layering and relevant brands plz?

Hello so I recently had a situation. I worked at an office for 10 years. I asked the supervisor for help and she has a tantrum. Starts yelling, what do u want? Ripping up my schedules for the next day. After all the commotion I go to her office to talk to her and she starts throwing away her lunch, mind you it 4 pm and saying I guess I get no lunch today, what can I do for you? What would you have done?

What’s the consensus on tattoos in the insurance workplace? I’m in leadership and considering exploring my options due to recent personnel changes. I work remote and have arm sleeves, and any time I would be in-person I’d of course wear a long sleeve shirt to be professional, but worry about a cuff rolling up and tattoos being somewhat visible. Nothing is offensive by any means.

Does anyone sometimes just want to shake their clients??? It's not my fault you decided to have kids with an asshole, please don't scream at me when you can't kick them out of your life because they're mean to you.

A partner put me in charge of a specific project that I ran independently. Things were going well. The client began asking me to do more and more, including revamping their system and internal trainings. The client even gave me a litigation matter. Suddenly, the partner became more involved. I was removed from meetings concerning the revamping, my trainings were cancelled, and he started micromanaging. He has now sidelined me from the project and trash talked me to the client. I am very upset.

what would be some possible reasons why I would be often assigned to an engagement with a manager who seemed to have alot of issues/criticisms directed towards me during past engagements?

6 months in and I already get the sense that my direct superior disdains me. Damn that was fast.

I think it's funny that I was told when I got my first big girl job, I'll be a catch and that there so many single men in cooperate. I've been working for a while now and everyone I meet is married. Is there I memo I missed?

I’m new to the firm. My third project my manager was very hands off. He’s wants to have a discussion with me about my performance. He did not give me any support to work with; even when I asked! And my direct manager agrees with him, but it was my third week. What to do? I feel like I’m going to say something crazy. Any advice?

I’m a 1styear, and there’s one other junior associate of color in my group.
The partner I work for keeps calling me her name. For ex: my name is “Sara” and her name is “Jasmine”. Names not similar, we don’t look alike - but I suppose we are about the same complexion. I can’t help but think it’s because we’re the only two black juniors. I was granting her grace because my mom accidentally calls me my sisters name and stuff, I get that it happens. But now it’s becoming a microagression. Advice?

Who here works in a warehouse? What is the correct etiquette to address a rude supervisor? He’s constantly getting on my last nerve.

I just had a mental slip up and said some really concerning things to my team on a call. I’m feeling very anxious about it and I feel dumb - I wish I hadn’t said anything.

How do we keep leadership from getting so offended and defensive when we professionally and respectfully flag culturally inappropriate work? Oh, the amount of possible Pepsi moments I’ve prevented!

I lead a pretty good size team. One of the managers that I have under me, manages a team of 6 writers. This manager literally bites his nails/nail beds every day. Like to the point where they bleed. We are all grossed out and I cannot find a way to approach this conversation. Looking for tips or suggestions!

A large number of Finance partners joined my firm about as year ago from a less regarded firm known for its terrible, low-brow culture. In the group of joiners, there is one female partner who is incredibly rude, crass and disrespectful on a level I have never seen before. What should I do to avoid being staffed on deals with her? Multiple associates the firm wanted to keep have bailed on our firm almost entirely because of her conduct. TYIA.

Would you feel comfortable telling HR that your service line’s culture sucks and name the individuals who cause it? Or is a better approach saying it’s the leadership in general creating a negative and toxic culture? How effective are these conversations really? Trying to assess if there’s any point in bringing this up. Obviously HR works for the company and an employee sharing their thoughts on the unsupportive, cold leaders could bite me in the long run.

I have an interview next week and want to vet the new law firm with questions to determine if there’s a good work-life balance, respect for how work is delegated (i.e., attorneys are not routinely asked to do obvious paralegal work), and what overall systems/structures are in place to make it a functional/successful environment. What sorts of questions do you think would get this info and also cut through the usual bs of “we’re a family here” when in reality no one talks to each other?

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.

Just checking YTD peer utilization rate and it's less than 50%. Deal market is really slowing down..

Any insight into what NY Biglaw counsel positions pay? I imagine it varies but I think my firm may be majorly lowballing with basically just senior associate salary.
