Please Quince. Please. I love your stuff but everything runs about a size too large. Please consider making clothing that fits slimmer body types too.

Anyone have any luck finding slimmer fitting linen shirts? Most of the ones I find are boxy and super unflattering, even in petite sizes.

Relatable to anyone else? I find it deeply annoying.

Share your stories. Going through this with a new job now and I want to commiserate!🫠

Title. Just curious. Unless those folks are being generous with what they consider big law.

But I’m not coming from big law and my grades suck so I can’t get into big law to then go in-house🫠

I know you can find decisions on Westlaw and then look for the underlying motions on Pacer but I’m having so much trouble with drafting I feel like every argument I see is novel and I can’t quiet find what I need to respond. Something that’s just a few pages long takes me days to turn around and I’m getting reprimanded firctaking far too long. They're right. Someone please help.

I make the dumbest mistakes even when checking everything multiple times over. I always miss something. A misplaced name, a missing page (or pages, I could have sworn I stapled everything in the draft together, I was mortified), or missing information that was in the file that I could have added to the document. It’s driving me nuts. It drives my partner nuts. I fucking hate this. I suck at this fucking job.

I’m so tired of feeling incompetent at my job even though I have a few years of valuable experience under my belt. I’m tired of having to explain my background because I didn’t finish school right away or passed my exams on the first try. I’m tired of looking like a child because I can’t contain my emotions due to anxiety or calm myself down fast enough before someone else sees. I’m tired of attracting romantic attention only for the person to start projecting their insecurities onto me; turning into my biggest bully. I’m tired of being misunderstood and not getting the benefit of the doubt. I’m tired of not understanding what I did wrong and no one explaining it to me when I try to make things right.

I’m just tired and need to get it out. Thank you for reading.

Has anyone had this happen to them? I completed a project at work and thought everything went well. Months later, I was told I messed something up with the project, but when I asked what exactly I did wrong, this person wouldn’t tell me and avoided answering.

To give context, this was someone who had shown romantic interest in me when I first started. He was technically a supervisor in another group but he managed to staff me on one of his projects. I ended up essentially handling it alone, because he stopped assisting me when I stopped entertaining his advances. It was only months later after everything was said and done that he told me I had messed something up, but wouldn’t tell me what I did wrong.

I’m still not understanding what he was trying to do. If anyone has insight, I would appreciate it.

I’m loving the seashell nail trend happening right now, but I just moved here and I’m not familiar with the salons in the area. Can anyone recommend a salon or nail tech that’s good with trendy designs? Thanks in advance!

Drop the deets. Yay or Nay

I’m starting a new job soon and my new boss has been emailing me during the two weeks leading up to my start date. He emailed me asking if I’ve done xyz type of law or have seen this situation or that situation. I answered honestly that I’ve seen/handled some things and not others. I emailed him timely, but was delayed on one email because I was at a family reunion this past weekend, so my response was sent today (he emailed me friday afternoon while I was driving 5 hours to the hotel for the reunion). After I responded today, he cc’d a bunch of other partners on the thread to see our email chain. It felt like an odd test to me and I have no idea if I passed. I also found it strange that he asked me a ton of questions about transactional related work when they hired me on for a litigation role and my past experience has been entirely in litigation. I’m open to transactional work and I expressed that during the interview and over email.

I’m just not sure what to make of this. I want to take it as a sign that they’re eager and excited to have me, but I’m also nervous. My last work place was incredibly toxic and I didn’t leave on the best terms. I’m trying not to be paranoid, but I can’t handle another abusive workplace again. My nerves are shot. I just want to work without needing to watch out for these social landmines, or people setting me up to fail to watch what I do. I’m also neurodivergent, so these social games are incredibly taxing for me. It takes me a bit to pick up on things, and it turns me into an anxious mess when I start to ruminate over all of the cues I missed, or the games I failed to play properly.

Can anyone give me insight here? Or just words of comfort. I’m just so tired.

I never opted into Cobra and never signed anything for Cobra. I only signed a severance agreement that did not say I was being enrolled in Cobra. My old job enrolled me anyway and is demanding I pay them for the month. Can anyone give me insight into what’s going on here?

I’m moving to the area and looking for a rundown of defense side, full-service, or close to it, litigation firms in both Nassau and Suffolk counties. Any reputable names? I feel like there’s a lot of information about NYC based firms, but not as much about Long Island based firms. Thanks!

Edit: I was just banned from the Long Island sub for asking this question lmfao.

I’m sick and tired of this crap. I had experience on point to what they were looking for (years of relevant experience), but without a big name behind me. I lost out to a biglaw junior associate coming from a completely different practice area. Congrats to them but this still really blows.

Has anyone else been contacted by a firm recruiter/HR for a screening and then get ghosted when you respond with your availability? This market is killing me.

Edit: Because this thread has been derailed by someone who needs to make everything about himself for whatever reason, let me clarify the above. I went to a reputable state school with good job prospects. I’m a 4th year. I only apply to firms directly and have not been using an outside recruiter. I’m currently employed.

I’m just looking for insight as to why a firm would reach out to someone and then ghost them, or if anyone has had luck with a firm reaching back out later. Thanks

How can you tell if a plaintiff’s side employment firm is a mill or not? I’m doing defense side employment currently, so I want to know what to look for if I switch over.
