My poor wife has Hyperemesis Gravidum. She usually gets pretty sick during pregnancy but this one has been next level. She hasn't been able to get out of bed without throwing up for two weeks now. We've tried a bunch of different things to help but no relief so far. Does anyone with experience with HG have any tips to help make it more manageable?
I did some real deep work at the gym this morning on my iPhone Duo. I’m talking the kind of thing I would’ve never dared do without a laptop or ipad. Don’t think I could ever go back just based on that alone.
I found something I don’t like about the Duo. The camera quality is fine, but the zoom is terrible. I forgot how bad zoom on phones was before telephoto lenses. I took this pic on about 4x zoom tonight and it’s definitely not as clear as my last phone was on 10x.
Not a dealbreaker for me, but could be for some.

wow they did the meme
Weil’s wind-down memo basically reads: “we will help you get a job and pay you a bonus, but don’t forget to make sure your time is in!”
The firm may not survive the month but the billable hour will outlive us all 😅

iPhone Duo day 3: the Face ID thing is really a non-issue. It took a min to get used to reaching for the lock button instead of just swiping up but it works well and fast and by last night muscle memory had already taken over. And when you wear your Apple Watch, it unlocks automatically so you don’t even need to use Touch ID.

"Tell me you don't know anything about what BigLaw associates do without telling me"
I don't disagree with the idea that this is a good option for laid off BigLaw associates, but can we please get rid of the idea that they were redlining NDAs all day😂
Real talk, any Weil homies lurking in the comments looking for a more laid-back firm, my dms are open...

Yes. Every associate with a referral bonus program and Christmas shopping bills on the horizon is swiping on Weil friends right now...

All I see is firms aggressively recruiting Weil lawyers. Everyone knows there are top lawyers there.

law firms expect their deal lawyers to go out there and negotiate the hell out of deals for their clients.
but when those deal lawyers negotiate their own compensation, their own deals, those same law firms:
Been seeing this type of post a lot the past two days, and I don’t get it. The way it’s phrased as if somehow big law firms are more at risk than small ones seems silly to me.
Let’s be brutally honest here, there isn’t a single lawyer that can confidently say they know what our jobs will look like in 10 years. There’s too much in flux. Most of us are fairly confident we will have a job, but what it will look like, how it gets done, and how we charge for it are still pretty up in the air long-term. And that presents just as much, if not more risk, to small firms as it does large.
If AI really cuts into BigLaw revenues, where do you think they’ll go for clients? They’ll leverage AI to offer more competitive pricing to a broader range of clients. And all of a sudden these ex-BigLaw boutiques will be competing with the very firms they built their resumes on.
Weil’s story is a great reminder to live within your means, plan for the future, and that nothing is certain. But I don’t think it’s a condemnation of BigLaw as a whole. In many ways, even the associates now jobless from Weil are still in a better position than their peers at small firms.
John gets it. Part of the reason law firms are so cutthroat is because the laws around our profession prevent you from ever building a true “moat” to insulate from your competition.
There are no noncompetes and clients can fire your firm at will. A partner can have a bad day and decide to take $40 million worth of revenue away overnight.
Weil just shows that even the largest and most prestigious firms arent immune to these realities.
Duo day 2: the more I use it the more I love it. It’s such a good productivity tool for working on the go. Reading and responding to dense emails is so much easier.
Everybody thinks they want Level 5 but most of us are micromanagers and want no more than Level 3
All employees come in 5 levels, choose wisely:
Level 1 - tells you there's a problem
Level 2 - tells you there's a problem and what caused it
Level 3 - tells you there's a problem, what caused it, and options to fix it
Level 4 - tells you there's a problem, what caused it, options to fix it, and which one they'd pick
Level 5 - tells you there was a problem, what caused it, how they fixed it, and future proof’d it
