Today has been a shitshow. Major filing deadline, a bunch of our ancillary docs were still being revised an hour before things needed to go out the door, technical problems meant we had to revert to unedited prior versions of some docs at the last second, and Oh! The court is requiring same-day courtesy copies again.
And I now have an ex parte hearing tomorrow morning. We’re opposing and I haven’t even started the draft yet.
Got called by a client’s personal counsel on a matter she knew nothing about. She started by reciting the “facts,” according to her. Then chastised me about how it should have been done. All while our client was on the line. I’ve never been a part of something so unprofessional. I’m still in shock.
Yes. I wouldn’t go so far as to say I wouldn’t care if fired, but we are crazy understaffed and busy. Hard to keep up with hours when you never stop working.
As layoffs start ramping up. I’m getting pretty worried. Should I start trying to find a more recession proof industry to work in-house at (currently at an agency). Or should I double down on my efforts to look great at my agency so I’m less likely to get fired?
Credit Suisse guys, please tell us if layoffs have been started in CS? The Bank is in Critical Stage and about to fall as per the news and mail from CEO has sparked this discussion. I have joining in November and I am eager to join. Should I join CS at this time?

Literally every day! I think i would probably not actually like being fired, but it sure feels like that would be a good thing
Rising Star
I don’t think I’ve got this
Yeah I curse the day “you got this” was coined. Most people don’t got this whenever they say it…and I hate pretending.
I'm a second year wondering how much longer I can last
I’m only a 3rd year! At my second firm.
Every day at this point 🤣 nothing I’d want more than a forced funemployment

Yes. But because I don’t give a shit about my job, I am fine setting boundaries.

At least if I get fired I get to sleep.
Yes sleep. And a chance to feel human
All - please feel free to vent here.

Oh I didn’t hold back, which may have made it worse but I didn’t want that false narrative floating around.
