Is there such a thing as ethically rage quitting?

Basically the title, but here’s some more context:

I’m a brand new attorney, like licensed less than a month ago. Immediately after getting licensed, I was handed a full caseload covering for a colleague on maternity leave. On top of that, I’ve been helping with random projects and matters for the other attorneys. I’m getting basically no support or mentorship and feel like I’ve just been thrown to the wolves.

There’s been two incidents over the last few days that have put me at the limit. I’m just tired and can’t do this anymore. I stayed as a favor and now I’m getting my ass handed to bye because there’s little to no communication or support.

The firm is dysfunctional, there’s terrible communication, and it’s causing mistakes to happen constantly, some worse than others. My boss talks down to me and the staff because of it, but honestly a lot of the miscommunication and issues start at the top. On top of that, we keep taking new clients and matters even though we’re already well past our limit.

I already have another job lined up and I put in my notice because I’m moving states. My last day is supposed to be in 2 weeks. The only reason I agreed to stay this long was as a courtesy while my colleague is on leave. Meanwhile, my spouse has already moved, so we’re currently paying two rents and living 1,000+ miles apart.

Here’s my question: is rage quitting ethical? I don’t want to abandon clients, and I understand the firm being dysfunctional doesn’t erase my own obligations. But I also don’t have any pressing deadlines, and I only have one upcoming hearing that could easily be covered by someone else. I just genuinely don’t feel like I can do this anymore, and at this point I’d rather spend the next few weeks packing, decompressing, and seeing my husband before I move across the country and start my new job.

New to Louisville: Getting Back Into Soccer + LouCity Questions

Hello! I’ll be moving to the Louisville area at the end of the month and am interested in getting back into attending matches! I loved going in college, but I haven’t really followed soccer much in the last few years because of grad school.

I’m looking for something to do and a community to be a part of, and soccer always felt really welcoming in that way. Does anyone have recommendations for getting involved in the LouCity community beyond just attending matches?

Also, what are the best seats among the lower-price tiers, and are season tickets worth it?

Finding community and friends as an adult can be hard sometimes, so I’m trying to put myself out there a bit. I do genuinely enjoy soccer, even if I’m a little out of the loop these days!

Moving states to work at a firm in Kentuckiana. I’m from the area but went to law school in another state / am licensed in that same state. I’ll be practicing mostly family law (which is what I have been), so while I’m comfortable with the general concepts, I’m looking for any recommendations from folks for solid reference materials, websites, etc. to assist me in getting up to speed!

Thanks so much for any tips :)

Just like the title says. I started up loom beading not too long ago after taking a hiatus for about 2 years. I need help finding patterns that are a little more beginner friendly. I’ve used Etsy to get some, but I’m not sure I want to keep paying $4-8 per pattern so I’m looking for some suggestions! I’m not opposed to paying for them, it’s more that it can get a little expensive.

Also, if there’s a pattern design app or something people like, I’m all ears!

I appreciate any and all suggestions.

Hello LBWT fam!

I’m a newly licensed attorney who has been working at the same firm for about 7 months total (started as a summer intern, came back after Dec. graduation). I am leaving the firm in about a month because my husband and I are moving states.

My paralegal has been my ride or die since I got here and while I haven’t been at the job long, she’s been my biggest supporter and cheerleader. I want to get her something nice as a parting gift and was wondering what an appropriate gift would be! My budget is pretty modest (maybe around $100) but I still think I could get her something decent.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Basically what the title says. I am already licensed in one state and transferring my score. Just making sure I’m prepared for the interview. I know the BOLE website says to be familiar with the PR rules, but I wanted to see if there’s anything else I should do?

Thanks for any help!

So much for “not needing anything”!

While I wasn’t overly impressed by the royalty collection (I thought some of the prototypes were much nicer than what they chose), I still thought there were some nice shades, especially No Opalogies because I am absolute sucker for flakies. Personally, I’m not a fan of thermals and also thought the purple flaky topper was a weird choice.

Joke’s on me though because this order pushed me into the royalty tier! Mwahaha
