What is the etiquette when going out to dinner with a colleague or manager (and both of our significant others)? How do you handle the check?

Split equally?

Are you looking to expense this meal?

Let your boss pick up the tab. He will likely expense it. Split everything 50/50 with your peers.

Is this a work event? If so, highest rank should pick up the check. If they don't offer, ask for separate checks.

If I was taking an employee and his wife out, I'm 100% expensing that as a team dinner. Worst case and we aren't friends, I'm picking tab up. If we're friends? We'd split.

Split 2 ways

What do you do if the partner who hired you is nice in social settings but awful to work for? And you can’t seem to escape from working for that partner. This partner doesn’t respond to your emails for critical issues that you need input on, doesn’t return your phone calls and voicemails and throws you under the bus in front of the client to blame you for her mistakes. The seniors are too busy. Just joined this firm so lateraling isn’t a viable option.

You also get .2 for every letter your secretary types up as a "form letter" you never even look at. As an Associate, I don't get those easy/automatic hours.

I love working at the bookstore and I'm proud to work with such a large group of people from different backgrounds. I'm really happy we're all here. But it probably isn't the best idea to get someone to reshelve books when they haven't been taught how to categorize them properly. It's like I spend most of the day following one of my coworkers around and discreetly fixing what he works on. He's a great guy, very personable, but wow is it frustrating.

I don't want her to think I won't be able to keep clients straight when I start doing supervised sessions.

Seriously, those were her words in a loud, berating, angry tone. Our admin has asked that we not report these. We are to talk to the teacher. She has yelled at me and other adults. Admin has to know she treats the kids this way too. One teacher has to work with her door closed to not hear the yelling all day.
