WC Defense attorney rant— I wish my clients would let push more matters for trial rather than giving into settlement just to close a file.

you just have to know the right clients for it. Some all they care about is that closed file , but I've had clients who care about the principle of it and want to litigate everything.

Also agree with you. In addition, uncooperative insureds make me feel like they themselves promote nuisance value claims.

How do you manage going back into public accounting as a first time mom? Our first kid is due this summer and I’ve been having conversations with my husband on plans for going back to work post-maternity leave. He is not in accounting and works ~35 hr weeks while I’ve been at 50-70 hr weeks (and enjoy my work). He is worried about my ability to be there for mom duties and also fully commit to work so curious on how other working moms have managed this - especially type A personalities. Thanks!

Also, how much do you give away? If they're minis, then several, and 1 each if full sized?
Do you give them just to the kids or to anyone who's dressed up, including the accompanying adult?
Why is distributing candy so stressful 🥲
