Give it. And then wait for the crap to hit the fan with requests on status updates for everything you do. And for you to document everything you do so said boss doesn’t have to train your replacement. But, don’t do all of this work. Do the bare minimum and end your days on time. It’s now your time to be lax as you walk out the door!

Set up a face to face or video call, give your notice, then immediately follow up with resignation letter cc’ing HR. Having a transition plan handy helps too.

But quietly in your mind end every statement with “you jerk” 😉. We have all been there!

Always do the right thing. It may be hard but it will pay forward in the future. Clearly you are leaving for the better. Just be simple and vague.

I recently had a specialist partner send me a fairly nasty email after I (a transactional first year) was told to ask them to review something ASAP that had clearly been on my partner’s radar for over a week. Why am I taking the (honestly justified) blame for this? Surely it should be obvious that I’m just the messenger here.

How do you call out a senior team for stealing your idea that you presented and wrote months after the project is done? I don’t want to be a dick, but these people are acting like they helped on something they didn’t help on, and I can’t wrap my head around ever doing something like that. I know getting credit for your work is important, how do you protect it from more senior teams? Do I just ask them why they’re doing it?

I’m in this business to cure my inferiority complex. Making lots of money, working with fortune 500 clients and walking the streets of NYC with a suit, tie and briefcase makes me feel important and worthy.

I often wish I could be like my law school friends who either moved to small towns or have public sector or non profit jobs, wear sweaters and jeans to work and make far less than me, but are happy with their lives, feel a sense of meaning with their work and don’t need external validation.

When do you think associates are usually let go in small practice groups that are currently being overwhelmed with work? Is it when it starts to slows down or when they already have a candidate to replace you? Just trying to figure out how long I have after annoying a partner 😂.

Recently joined.. How to know who is our HR..whom to take concerns with..like need to switch project..etc..

My boss in my creative agency threatened to fire me because I, a male, came into work with my nails painted. HR is having a very complicated day today as I found out I could take legal action if he does fire me since we don't have an established dress code that has any guidelines against male nail polish wearing.
