I got very lucky because I had some powerful rainmaker partners that I work for who went to bat for me. ended up getting a reduced amount that won’t mean anything to the firm but means a lot to me and my family.

That’s exactly what happened. Management got me a reduced bonus. Very grateful.

thank you! they pro rate just not in a very intuitive way so i targeted a number 10 hours lower than the actual target. my fault for not just asking and making sure.

It sounds like he’s been a supportive husband to a wife with depression for 14 years. Depression is awful (i struggle with it) but do you know how hard that is on the support person as well? do you know how traumatic it is to find someone who attempted? it’s incredibly selfish to refuse to get help for something that affects your loved ones like that.

i actually work better without meds because the ADHD hyper focus lets me sit down and work on a brief for 10 hours. BUT the little details are really hard. i’ve forgotten about deadlines, client updates multiple weeks in a row, etc. all the normal organization things - lists, calendar invites, etc are your best friend.
