Why is my office open tomorrow (NY)? Aren’t courts closed? Schools are closed. Our Texas offices close for one inch of snow.

That’s crazy for this storm. I got emails (office and personal) and a text just before 1:30 this afternoon alerting everyone to plan to work from home and there would be limited on-site support in the office.

There is also a travel ban in effect for all non-essential vehicles in New York City until noon Monday and the odds if public transportation running as usual are slim to none.

I’m more worried about the staff. I heard some horror stories about commutes last round.

Thats crazy - my office is closed

As a Canadian living in NYC, the freakouts over some snow are hilarious. This was an average winter Monday growing up. I’m in the office today, enjoying the absence of elevator waits or cafeteria lines.

You continue to ignore the hockey jokes so you didn’t respond substantively. Dork

What can a junior associate do about a mid-level that constantly asks questions about things they were cc’d on, sends dozens of piecemeal emails and is generally just super high strung and needs everything right away?? No other mid-levels I’ve worked with act this way and this individual I’m working with is driving me insane and I’ve spent countless hours attaching emails and saying “as explained in the attached email…”

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad.

It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school
