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?
1st thing - if the work is over, what is the harm in leaving early?
2nd thing - seniors have more deliverables than juniors, if they stay late it's their choice...
Everyone needs to understand this we do job to earn and live our lives as per our choice not because we have to sacrifice our whole life sitting in the office till late night. Then what is the point of earning money?
With this mentality, we seriously cannot achieve the corporate culture we want, it only looks nicely in the induction or speeches where managing directors or partners talk about work culture.
Please guys.. Understand..
Eventually once partners noticed, they started loading me with work with unrealistic deadlines so I'd be forced to stay in the office for long - this was the time when we only had desktops to work on and had to commission laptops for offsite due diligence.
