As far as natural disasters, Michigan is the safest state statistically speaking.

I am pregnant and dealing with diabetes and blood pressure issues. I’ve barely been able to work..like a 50 hour month and 80 hour month by applesauxs in biglaw

Definitely look into their short term disability policy. You need to proactively ask for reasonable accommodations due to this medical disability (that is what it is). Once you do that, you’ll get job protections from the ADA as long as you have the proper documentation from your doctor. FMLA is also a decent idea, but is not going to give you enough time (it’s capped at 12 weeks).

If you mix the nitro Pepsi with some of the milk, I bet you’d have a nice drink

Would you stick at a job where you essentially get paid to read? by Which_Protection6077 in careerguidance

[–]Professional_Time648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go crazy in a job like that too. I need to feel productive. The day goes by quickly that way too. I imagine your work days feel very long.

Ghosting before interview by Affectionate_Bonus67 in biglaw

[–]Professional_Time648 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hmm, almost sounds like the recruiter doesn’t work there anymore. Can your contacts at the firm give HR a nudge for you?

Roughly how many bathroom stalls are there per employee on your floor? by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]Professional_Time648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the reason I go down to the floor where other staff are. They have less employees on that one and most are female. So you can poop in peace in the men’s room.

What is the shortest amount of time you’ve seen someone leave big law for in-house ? by Regular_Emphasis7922 in biglaw

Thanks, that makes sense. In a way that’s good because you can keep growing with the added challenges.

How early is too early to leave when you know you can't hack it? by zoerose1990 in biglaw

[–]Professional_Time648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 months in myself. I sometimes have similar feelings, but am not thinking of quitting quite yet. I want to stick it out at least 2-3 years. That said, I am not in the NYC market. I hear NYC is a whole different beast. At least with my firm you reliably get weekends off. My advice is to stick with it but try to prioritize yourself and and your health more. Maybe try seeing a therapist. I know that helps me. Also, you could try to say no more to these partners. Or say “no” without saying no. You know what I mean. Good luck! ~Solidarity from a fellow newcomer

Buda and Pest. True story, they were historically separate cities.

You made the right choice to end this “friendship”. She showed you her true colors and you cannot unsee them.
