Of course, I don't see why not? I understand not wanting to connect with coworkers on other social media platforms, but LinkedIn is specifically built for connecting with coworkers and people in your professional network, not to mention it will probably help you out at some point later in your career to have these connections on LinkedIn

I understand this. How about those who use it for content creation also?

Absolutely! My network has helped me so many times!

I think so. I connect with them just in case they leave. I can stay in touch with those who I might not interact outside of work. It gives me the opportunity to still keep in touch.

I just found out a new colleague was brought on at 20% higher salary than my current salary. (Have been w/ firm 1.5 years) She doesn’t have a 4-year degree (working on it). How do I bring this inequity up and ask to be compensated equally? I have years more experience and My work is more complex - she is basically a receptionist. Any suggestions would be helpful!

I started a new job last monday; this is my first corporate job after college. My senior manager ( my manager’s manager) scheduled a 1:1 with me on Friday and she expects me to have questions.
What should ask? I'm already being trained by my peers, so I don't really understand the dynamic.

Any advice on how to deal with a partner/boss who is shifting all responsibility to me with zero guidance, no mentoring, and an unwillingness to discuss the issues? (Small firm, only associate under this partner and have been working at the firm for 2 years). There are an increasing number of passive aggressive comments from the partner who expects to be completely hands off once the case lands on my desk. Wants me to figure it all out despite cases being from different areas of law.
