What’s your take on hybrid vs fully remote vs in-office? I personally thrive in a hybrid setup with just enough face time to stay in the loop, but enough solo time to actually focus and get things done. Now my firm is hinting at a full-time return to office, and I’m struggling to see the upside. Commutes, constant distractions, badge-in micromanagement? No thanks. Has anyone here successfully pushed back on return-to-office without tanking their rep?

I don't think you will be able to fight this. They make the calls. Period. However, there can be exceptions. My office has allowed one person to WFH exclusively who simply cannot produce anywhere close to in office peers, but they also forced another person to return to office. No, it doesn't make sense. I guess you could try, but I would keep expectations on the floor.

Hi everyone! In your experience, what is the one tool / must-have / methodology any of your companies use to bring about a cohesive and comprehensive go-to-market strategy in the launch of new products and services? As a company scales, coordinating cross-functionally and across time zones is becoming increasingly challenging so we have identified that we need frameworks or tools to help us go-to-market in a less clumsy, more coordinated fashion. Would love to get your ideas on this.

I am prior military and went to law school.

Where do you find the time to get everything done in the day when you have multiple partners, associates and equity partners that interrupt you and want things turned around immediately while simultaneously working on deadlines? I feel like I’m the only one that can’t manage a 70+ case load without letting someone down. I constantly have to say “Can I do this tomorrow?” Etc. I don’t even have time to bill on the clock. I work until 7p at least every night. Top 10 family law firm.
