Why am I not being copied on emails but my juniors are? I want to not take it personally but I have a minority name so am wondering if that bias plays into this. For reference I am a senior associate.

What kind of emails? Maybe you're above their pay grade.

But the issue is they’re copying the partner and my mid level and my junior

Distro lists are a cluster. Sometimes people don’t feel like alerting the entire brigade, so they just pick 2 names regardless of hierarchy- don’t let it get to you

Just ask to be cc'd on emails. I often get bogged down on who I should cc and then end up cc'ing my manger, my colleague in the UK for her FYI, but not her manager who is equal to my manager, but I should probably cc everyone, or just forward to them? IDK.

What do you mean by "minority" name?

A4, I totally agree. I don't think her name has anything to do with it.

Just ask them - maybe they assume that if they can handle they don’t need to bother you with the small stuff.

If you’re not actively participating in the deal, you could get left off sometimes. I’m a midlevel but usually run a deal with a partner supervising from afar and a junior. If it’s an easy one, I try to take a step back and let the junior run the day to day while I jump in for more high level issues. What I take issue with is when the junior runs off on their own and has a chain without me on it. When a client leaves me off a chain, I instruct the junior to loop me into the response and make a note to the client or whoever to include me in emails. When the junior leaves me off, it pisses me the f off because it’s always this one junior who thinks he’s hot shit. That guy I’ve needed to reprimand before and bring the issue up with partners as he’s scheduled and ran calls with clients without telling anyone.

To add: I am usually the only woman on the deal - my side, other legal team, client, etc. Sometimes this plays a role especially depending on the country I’m dealing with.

I quit. I was respectful. Thankfully, every person I have told has been so nice, and I wasn't immediately bounced out by my leadership (which has happened), but I have been surprised by my own bittersweet tears. If they actually cared, why didn't they say so sooner? I gave so much, and I was consumed by this organization. I invested in them, but my investment and dedication were not reciprocated, which is why I ever even entertained leaving. I don't know why it hurts, but it really, really does.

Is that fair? I just want to make sure I’m protected but I also understand that if he’s paying all this money, he wants some security as well

Recalling my first onboarding meeting in-house with the c - suite. Thinking back now recalling that they would often mention if someone they are referring to is a woman. For example, "Oh we have these two women doing x, y, and z and they do it well, a well-oiled machine." etc. I was the only woman in the room. They did not mention when someone performing a particular role was a man but they did point out when it's a woman, happened about four times. Odd, no? What would you make of this?
