This happens a lot on family companies. At a past experience most executive or Senior management positions where filled with family members, so it was very difficult to develop or the progress was limited.

Wow! That had to be a hard bullet to bite because what about promotions?

It's just part of life. It never did me any good, as no one in my family was in a position to help me any. But a lot of people get a boost because they're connected, and it's always going to be that way. Some of the people who benefit from nepotism are perfectly competent, and some, well, not so much.

It's so bad at the FC. Almost like a high school life of best in kissing asses move up while tbe hardest workers are stuck. A former supervisor interviewed her own roommate and a TL interviewed her mother and aunt and of course, only the trio were offered the roles out of 6 applicants.Only Asians and white people move up

I mean obviously I am not happy about it but it happens everywhere you go. I worked for the federal government and you would think it wouldn't happen there but it sure did. Doesn't really seem to matter.

Wow it even goes as far as the government? Man the system is crooked!

I think that there should be at least some limitations put in place to prevent too much nepotism from shaping an entire company, but I also think it's sort of one of those things that can't be totally regulated. I feel like it's a bummer but the entire workforce feels like it's a "who you know" kind of situation. So it's not like it's that different if people hire family members vs. friends.

I’ve been working to an unhealthy degree lately. And I’ve been making the excuse that I have a lot of work right now, but I’m starting to wonder if I’m addicted to it. Part of it is anxiety and perfectionism. But my behavior is now actively harmful to myself and starting to harm my marriage.

How do I stop? I’m not talking work-life balance. I mean, how do I say, “I don’t care that the client wants this tomorrow and I’m not close to done, I’m going to sleep tonight”?

NFW- I just had a good laugh. Earlier today I was on a video conference call reviewing a Private Label Agreement template with a larger company who wishes to brand label products we develop and manufacture. We came to a very one-sided provision and my sales VP stated “for this one, how can we just say ‘hell no’ ...nicely?” The other person on the call said we can replace the wording with just NFW (no f@$* way) and I said “I will have to add that to the defined terms section so it’s clear”

What is work-life balance like in big tech legal? I’m currently in house at a large multinational; I like my job and I get paid fine, with a very good WLB (40-45 hrs). I want to look into FAANG-type opportunities as they would mean a huge pay bump, and I think I’m qualified, but I have no idea about the hours, and I don’t want to substantially give up WLB, as that’s why I left BigLaw. I don’t want to be miserable again. I know Amazon is poorly reputed for lawyer WLB… what about other places?
