Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we are so pleased to talk with Sadie Jones, ex-BigLaw recruiter, about how to handle difficult situations at work.
In this episode, we discuss:
- What to tell your employer/prospective employer when the grades you had when you got the job suddenly tank or you’ve failed the bar exam
- Whether and what criminal, mental, physical, or substance abuse issues need to be discussed with your boss
- How to have difficult conversations about troublesome bosses or coworkers or how to discuss if you’ve taken on too much work
- Technology! What to do when you’ve accidentally opened or deleted something you shouldn’t have
Thanks for listening!
