So I’m a 1st year analyst - my childhood dog is quite old and I expect will be put down within the next year or so. How can I navigate this at work when it eventually happens? She lives with my GF in another state so I will want to take time off to go be with her when it does happen, but this is obviously hard to predict . What is the etiquette around this?

First, I am sorry 😞 Losing your furry friend is a real heartbreak. Use your PTO when the time comes or communicate ahead of time to supervisor at the beginning of the project that this might happen and that you will need to take a family emergency. Life is unpredictable and don’t feel like this will be used against you!

Agree with B&C1. Additionally, start prepping a coverage plan, and get ahead on your work while you can. When the time does come, your team will appreciate the consideration on your part.

Stay strong 💔

2012 Sr Associate. Left my firm in February after being recruited by a partner I used to work for, and it turns out I’m not very happy. Difficult people, terrible schedule and ruined vacations so far. A partner at my old firm in another group has asked if I would come back to work for just him. I liked working for him, we have great rapport and I could do permanent WFH since he is in another city. I don’t want to burn bridges, would this be a bad idea? Or an easy decision?

I’m married, and one of my coworkers flirts with me. Nothing super overt, but definitely not professional. We’re good friends and work together constantly because we’re on the same client, so I don’t want to make it awkward. Do I just do nothing and let it go? It is mostly just odd I’m not super offended, but I’m also clearly uninterested!
