Do you have Memorial Day off?
2
Anyone at the point of crying and physical anxiety going into work? (Working with terrible people). Job searching but how do I hold on long enough to find something else? Even making time applying and prepping for interviews is hard. How bad an idea is it to just quit? Thinking of going on leave but was told department head has to approve and I think it will be an uphill battle.
I need out of being an attorney, at least for a little while. I can’t continue at my current job the way things are going: I think when I got licensed (3.5 years ago) and started at my firm, I was a bit burned out from law school and having to study for and take the bar multiple times. Circumstances at my job only made my feeling of burnout worse from the beginning, and my feeling has only grown exponentially since. (continued in reply)
So I found a new job and tomorrow I am going to put in my two weeks’ notice. I am nervous how everyone will react because I have given no clues that I was looking. My boss always asks me if I am happy with where I am at and I lie and say yes so I am nervous this will come out of left field. I do have anxiety and the thought of letting others down only increases my anxiety. Any advice on how to calm my nerves before tomorrow?
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.
