When you got back from mat leave, were you thrown right into the deep end? Did your team ramp you up? I am a couple days back and am quite certain they’re attempting the deep end version and want to abate that strategically (and ASAP). Any tips welcome!

imre was super thoughtful about it, because it was two years ago when Anne was still the head of HR. They gave us 6 free days for our first month back so you could set up a comeback schedule that wasn’t so intense. I worked 3 days my first 2 weeks back M -W, and 4 days the two following, M - Th. Others did half days and such but I liked the shorter weeks. Kind of prevented the deep end sitch. Can you work out something like that asap??

Looking for advice on defending depositions. I am a first year associate and am defending my first deposition next week.

For example, if my client is asked something that could be harmful (or at least make us look bad), should I just object? Very worried this transcript will be ex. A to pltfs’ MSJ because I didn’t object 😅

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us. She starts work at 4:30am and leaves around 2:30pm, but she still expects us to stay until 6pm and work on the weekends! She gives us really long shifts and doesn't give us much time for breaks. And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?
