Do you have Memorial Day off?
2
I left my associate attorney position to do a federal clerkship for a year. How do I explain to friends and family that it’s not like a demotion even though I won’t be practicing as an attorney? All the non-law people I tell seem confused as to why I would take a lower paying, temporary, non-attorney job for a year.
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.
