So I work at a relatively small restaurant (maybe 40 seats). Today I visited one of our sister restaurants (we have trainings there periodically) and the place is huge 200-300 seats. They were super organized and everything was very well run, but I felt out of place. When I got back to my own restaurant, I was so happy and comfortable in my little space. Felt weird to feel happy to be at work. lol. Have you ever felt glad to come back to your own workplace?

I know exactly how you feel. There's some sense of familiarity and comfort in smaller, more intimate restaurants. Yeah, it would be exciting to work somewhere that was really buzzing and popular. But I like my little second home 😊

I've had similar experiences when I've gone to events at big venues. If you're in a huge catering hall or a hotel ballroom it can feel pretty intimidating. When I get back to my normal routine I'm glad I'm not working in a place like that, I'd feel like an ant in a giant colony.

I actually really envy some of my coworkers who work at our smaller location, so I've had the exact opposite experience as you. It seems like the smaller locations have a better relationship with regular customers and there's just a lot more solidarity it always seems. I'm jealous of that more intimate vibe.

I have had that expereince before. Sometimes it is nice to come back to what is familiar. Especially when you feel out of place.

Litigators—how many different cases are you on?

Been feeling spread too thin lately but I don’t know whats typical. Curious what others do. And would you mind sharing whether you’re a junior, midlevel, partner, etc??

I realize sheer number of cases doesn’t tell the whole story… obviously you can be buried on one massive case. I’m finding it hard to jump back and forth between everything I have going on right now, though, but I don’t know if the answer is to just deal with it.
