Whew this group is a relief to find. No one at my job knows I have ADHD, and I only have one other friend with it. I manage a team of people and the stress of checking, double checking, and triple-checking everything to make sure I'm not forgetting anything or behind on anything is insane. I've kind of got the hang of keeping focus during work hours, but I'm just constantly on edge that someone will notice or I'll start falling behind.

Interviewing and if an office doesn’t have standing desks by now, I can’t do it. Is that too bougee? Are there many big law firms that still don’t have this?

The managing partner of my office likes to make jokes about Covid now that it is “over” (either in small group convos or speeches to the office). My dad died from Covid, and I honestly feel like it’s so insensitive for him to make these comments when he knows that I lost my dad to it. Our office isn’t that big, and I don’t think many people forget being told that someone they know lost someone from Covid. It has made me consider leaving because of it, but the economy isn’t great.

One thing that irks me about my firm is that it does not give lateral associates like myself credit for federal clerkships for purposes of advancement/seniority. Associates who are hired directly out of law school or while completing a federal clerkship do receive credit for their clerkships, however.

Is this normal?

Is it okay that I’ve been a slow junior as we’re hours away from closing? I’m trying to be proactive and available to cross things off the list but I’m SLOW: takes me long enough that they do it themselves (even though this wasn’t an issue earlier in the deal) and even on quick tasks or emails, they respond to it before I can click send. There’s also so much about closing that I don’t understand and I feel like I’m bothering the higher-ups on the team whenever I ask. *end anxiety post*

Two holiday related questions:
1. My firm has a secret holiday candy thing where you can send holiday candy to someone. Two partners sent me, first year, holiday candy and a card. Would the appropriate response be a thank you card that I drop off with their assistants or would it be me dropping by their office? I don’t know the partners and they’re not in my practice group. 2. First year question, do people usually give something to their assistants during the holidays? Context (contd).
