Do you have Memorial Day off?
2
I lost my spark. Any tips on how to get it back? My last job was toxic. After 4 year I quit and they gave me 3 month severance pay to look for a new job. (they were bullying me and didn’t want me to sue.) My 3 months has ended and I’ve only applied to one job. Every time I think about going back to work I feel physically sick in my body. How do I get past this? I want to love being a lawyer again.
My client is gift-giving me things that are definitely over the ethical limit. It started with a nice bottle of wine, but today a high-end designer watch showed up as a thank you for a successful motion. I haven't opened the box because I know the second I do, I’m in a massive conflict-of-interest gray zone. My firm doesn't have a formal gift policy, but my gut says this is a play for special treatment on their next bill. What would you do?
Will anyone expect me to work? No. Is my life going to be miserable if I miss an entire day of billable work? Yes. So, I'll be working.
My office is “closed” and admin will be off, so kinda, but I need to meet my hours somehow so I’ll be working.
Yes and my boss told my team to basically phone it in today and just pay attention to email.
thats not vacation. all my devices are off
Our office is “closed” and a lot of people are traveling so suspect my emails will be quiet but I’ll probably sneak in a couple hours to catch up on stuff. In biglaw if that matters.
I’m in a mid sized law firm. Law firm is open 24/7, and also has three days in per week policy. So I assume I can work from home on that day ?
Why would you work on a major holiday?
Yes. Got all my work done before and just said I’m gonna be out today and Monday
Yes but I’m big law so nobody cares
Yes and I’m in big law and I’m taking it off because I’m leaving soon and don’t care.
Yes...but only because I was laid off. My last day is today.
Thank you. It sucks but there's nothing I can do about it.
Absolutely
Yep, closed and no emails reviewed.
