NY office culture is toxic, HR gaslights victims of sexual harassment

Toxic in what other ways?

Pillsbury is not really much of a thing in SF, FYI.

Can you elaborate on what you mean?

They have both an SF and an SV office. Not as big as other players, but a solid firm.

Corp or lit?

Corp/transactions

What is a useful, comprehensive but not too long of a book for parenting toddlers?

LO is 16 months old, very sweet and social, at the park every day with other kids with either me or her nanny. Not in day care. Yesterday we had a play date and she slapped another baby on the head. Not hard and did not scare her, but the act of “aggression” took me by surprise and I felt terrible about it. I’d like to be more proactive about toddler psychology, what’s to come and how to react/ teach. TY!

I am struggling to fight off depression over my internal job search. There is no real opportunity for advancement in my immediate department/current job. There’s plenty of opportunity otherwise, and opportunities for which I am well qualified, but getting recruiters to take notice seems to be another story. There is no capability to impress through your work and seek advancement based on achievement, work ethic, capabilities…. I guess it is time to leave Lowe’s

Does anybody find Sneako hot? Forget if you are for or against his views, just by his appearance do you think he is hot? I feel like he hypes himself too much and tries too hard to be like the Tates. He is a follower not a leader. He doesn’t seem genuine or believe in any word he is saying.

Anyone else just sitting around waiting for the ax to drop? I'm a soon to be 2nd year corporate associate who has seen work completely dry up. My utilization held pretty steady around 50% immediately after shutdown, but August was below 15 billables with no appreciable work in the pipeline. Aside from letting people know I'm available and doing pro-bono/CLE, it's starting to feel like a serious "covidcation" leading to termination.
