You ever have the same same manager, less than 2 weeks apart, tell you completely opposite things about how to complete or document test work? So frustrating.

Lateral associate question: when submitting my conflicts questionnaire to clear conflicts, do I need my firm’s prior approval of the disclosures I’m making? I’m not sure how this works…

I feel like so much of the media discussion about people NOT going back to work is centered on POC. I have white coworkers just as frustrated. Is this just another example of how POC are having the authentic conversation no one else is willing to have?

I just joined this app today and honestly it’s a mess but one I welcome. I’m definitely not getting the LinkedIn aspiring inspirational speaker/life couch vibes and that’s great. What is clear is that y’all are a hot mess and I’m enjoying it. I’m reading about people hooking up with colleagues, one person who’s boss is unaware they work once a day every two weeks and people who just seem to hate corporate life but stay because they love money and status.

What are effective ways to ensure your team feels content within the workplace? There is a rise of many people feeling undervalued and not cared for as an employee. I would like to change that. No matter the job, no one should feel less than.

I'm in industry now but got highest ratings at my B4. had strong recommenders but they were definitely a little salty that I had left. I only really have one direct manager here- worth asking them?

Had an oral case in front of a panel, but only have spoken with a few folks enough to write a good thank you. How do I approach thanking the others there that I didn’t really “interview” with?

Trying to decide who to invite from work. My office is about 45 people total—50-50 attorneys and support staff. I know which associates I’m inviting and know that the others won’t care. But struggling with partners and support staff. I work with some but am close to others that I don’t work with. Reality is that I can’t invite them all but don’t want to offend anyone

I get it, women in engineering are a bit of a rarity. But it feels like my coworkers don't talk around me and it's really awkward. Sometimes I wish I could just blend in

I secretly witnessed a co-worker spit on another co-worker in office. I am in office 5 days a week but stayed back to complete a few tasks before the weekend when I heard some commotion walked by and saw it. Do I report or keep quiet?

I’m hearing #metoo like comments about one of my ECD’s behavior at Cannes. Should I say something to the CCO?

I have absolutely no filter. I have a problem with just “telling things like it is” and being extremely blunt which sometimes can lead to problems in my personal life and work life. I’ve tried to take a pause before i speak but that doesn’t help 😅

Anyone have the same thing?

Need some advice - I had an internal investigation of a company associate and we found out he had pedophilia charges and was on the sex offender registry. We terminated him for cause but now I'm being told by some of the other executives to reinstate him, but hide it under someone else's name.

Hey all, what do you usually talk/share in your 1:1 meeting with your supervisor? I think I should take this opportunity to get feedback from him or share some goals and vision, other than that I feel nervous and don't know what to talk about. In addition, sometimes I'm afraid to be judged by him if I have nothing to say. Any advice? Thanks. :)

I love working at the bookstore and I'm proud to work with such a large group of people from different backgrounds. I'm really happy we're all here. But it probably isn't the best idea to get someone to reshelve books when they haven't been taught how to categorize them properly. It's like I spend most of the day following one of my coworkers around and discreetly fixing what he works on. He's a great guy, very personable, but wow is it frustrating.

What types of non-entry level exit opportunities are available to senior associates at BigLaw firms (i.e., working for a firm)? I know Knowledge Managment attorneys are on the rise, but any stories of people making the switch to Director of Professional Development or other positions like that? Any idea of compensation for these types of roles? Did you approach your own firm first or lateral elsewhere?

Are they going to resicnd my offer?

Anyone relate to this or have advice? I’m about to quit big law and want to go in house after a few months of recharge. In my mind, I can’t possibly imagine myself being excited and energized about work (even though in house objectively aligns with my goals/style). I just feel so lazy and wonder if I’m just “ruined” mindset/energy wise….

Non-accounting: Now I only want to be spoon fed. I am so tired of being both planner and executor in 10 out of 10 projects. In any new project all I have is a request from my boss, often times with vague requirements. They drain my brain energy.

If a manager doesnt provide you any feedback throughout the engagements, in ine informal feedback says you're doing good but in leads gives you rating of a 2, what does that imply?

asking....

Do I have less chance of being laid off as a senior or am I just as expendable as a first or second year

Anyone have advice working with recruiters that have reached out via LinkedIn? I’ve ignored them for 5 years, but just set up calls with a few who have been in their industry for a while and look legit. Is it normal to work with several at the same time, or should I stick to one? What have other people’s experiences been.
