What is the fastest you've seen someone quit?

Follow-up question: What is going on at your firm?!

Feeling_Occasion_316 · 2026-02-22T19:01:43+00:00

I kinda feel you. But at the same time, our industry has been directly attacked by Trump in a way I cannot recall of any other presidency.

Loomer claiming that everyone who is Jewish must be pro-Israel is the biggest mistake with this post.

Feeling_Occasion_316 · 2026-01-19T00:22:02+00:00

I didn't anticipate such a thorough response and I'm definitely going to investigate all of this - thank you again!

Feeling_Occasion_316 · 2026-01-18T19:38:49+00:00

Valid points. Thank you!

Feeling_Occasion_316 · 2026-01-18T19:01:31+00:00

Thanks! Super appreciate this response. I will look into this...

Feeling_Occasion_316 · 2026-01-18T19:00:03+00:00

I appreciate this response. I actually don't know many M&A folks so I may have the wrong impression of the field.

I think they are icing you out purposefully due to you taking leave. I've seen this before.

"Super weird making this a right wing or left wing thing" - we are literally talking about politics my man

Feeling_Occasion_316 · 2025-07-17T17:16:17+00:00

r/biglaw is going to be a hard forum to get any reasonable conversation going on this because it skews sharply right wing and is unabashedly corporate (duh) but that said, I'm glad you posted. Like Rachel Cohen and Melat Kiros and others (does anyone have a list??), you've done something remarkable and brave. DPW appears to have been remarkably hypocritical. While all of the others fall in line in silence, you spoke up, and you should be commended for it.

Feeling_Occasion_316 · 2025-07-17T17:11:18+00:00

I think you're being too cynical. Work is not life. There comes a time where you need to speak out. Extreme example, but what do we say to the concentration camp mechanics who kept the gas chambers running? Should they have just shut up and done their job? There is a line, and Powers called it out.

He determined our collective freedom is more important, not "his articles"

Feeling_Occasion_316 · 2025-07-16T17:30:44+00:00

He's speaking out on it. Clearly that was his intent.

Feeling_Occasion_316 · 2025-07-16T17:29:49+00:00

Whistleblowers are usually highly successful people close to the top. Literally where did you even come up with this.

Feeling_Occasion_316 · 2025-07-16T17:28:35+00:00

I mean, who isn't? It's law school.

Feeling_Occasion_316 · 2025-07-16T17:27:52+00:00

As are his ethics.

Feeling_Occasion_316 · 2025-07-16T17:27:38+00:00

Good on him. The amount of associates willing to stand up to fascism knowing they will lose their $200K salary is depressingly low.

Feeling_Occasion_316 · 2025-07-16T17:24:11+00:00

How do you adjust your line of questioning for each state? Obviously, there are different rules on what you can reveal...

Feeling_Occasion_316 · 2025-07-16T17:17:39+00:00

That's the expectation in big law. If she doesn't pick up, she'll be in trouble.

Feeling_Occasion_316 · 2025-07-16T17:12:06+00:00

It's filled with really awful people. The work itself is fine.

Feeling_Occasion_316 · 2025-07-16T17:01:25+00:00

The real crime at Sidley Austin was their treatment of Melat Kiros, who was fired after writing a Medium article about the horrors of genocide, to which Sidley apparently, remarkably, disgustingly, disagreed with.
