We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
2. In the above cases 3 months would be the normal expectation or if you find a job sooner you may leave
3. you may be given 1 month's notice if your work is hopeless or the team refuses to work with you because of communication issues or some other issues (such as dishonestly, refusal to work etc)
4. In some cases you are given 7 days of performance notice because your work is atrocious, especially if you are a new hire and it is clear you will never square up
5. people are fired on the spot with 0 notice if they made horrible mistakes that led to serious loss of clients or the client lost money or cases or your partner lost face - these are terminations with cause so require no notice period anyway and they can start a disciplinary proceeding if you insist on due process which is certainly no good for you
Or do they give a sufficient notice period, during which you have to work and will get paid normally ?
