Told my partner that I am experiencing severe covid symptoms and that am running around trying to get a test (very difficult where I am located right now). His response was to call him later today when I am *finally* at my desk to discuss a matter which requires work over the weekend. Is this normal?

I still feel this way after last week being asked my three different people about doing something where I told them that I was not going to do. following day I was then ambushed by admin (where I have never felt more like nothing. Following this encounter with people in charge I had an anxiety attack. This was terrible and I have no trust . TAs are mistreated. Similar story?

Thoughts on the Bill Michael resignation email we got? I’ve heard the same commentary and worse from my bosses about covid being ‘fake’ or ‘ over exaggerated’ and have been told by my bosses to expect working longer hours without hanging time to eat — but it seems it doesn’t matter unless unless there’s an article written about it that the media puts out.... one thing to enforce our values on only those getting caught in the spotlight for it.

Hello everyone, is there any job vacancies for finance manager and sales manager.?

Has anyone else gotten several years into a specialist practice only to realize you have serious deficits in your knowledge? I’ve somehow had very prestigious jobs in my field for the last 4 years and yet I clearly have serious substantive gaps that even my supervisors seem to be aware of. I’m very confused by this and concerned about what this means for the future of my career.

I’m a lawyer based in Europe. I’m lateraling to a firm in a new jurisdiction on Monday and negotiated a decent pay increase a few months ago (new jurisdiction has significantly higher income taxes so negotiated based on a comparable net pay). My old firm has just announced it is increasing salaries by around 15% which will almost negate what I negotiated at new firm. New firm doesn’t review salaries till September. What are my options here so that I’m not out of pocket?

If you don’t have 8 hours of billable time a day, do you leave as is or do you fill in the gap with non-billable work? While I am in the office, I don’t always get the billable amount since I don’t have enough work. Seems like a waste of time to enter non-billable time just to fill in the gap but I also don’t want them to think I am not there and slacking off.

What’s the norm?
