What do you do when you need to put in your 2 weeks but the partner you work with the most is not in the office and is ignoring emails? Do you just put in your notice to HR and other random partners?

I have a call with a client in a few hours regarding an upcoming settlement conference.

He hasn’t been very helpful either. What should I tell the client? 😫

Ok this one’s for my fellow adhd’ers and auties: are we pro or against disclosing? Feels like it’d help my partners understand why I’m so good at certain things and absolute shite at others, rather than just thinking I’m lazy. But also, disclosure = risk of stigma. Where do people fall? For the seniors/counsel/partners, would you want your associates to disclose something like this or is it just irrelevant/going to make you think they’re just a problem for you even if you like their work?
