[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have summer associates at my law firm and I remind them when they talk to partners face to face, don't have their phone in their hands, and when they go out to lunch with attorneys don't put their phone on the table. One was like "yes of course" and he's 29, and the other was like "Oh damn, really? Why? But can I text while I'm in my office? Like, alone?" and she's 25. It'll be interesting to see who we extend offers to. [/quote]

I always put my phone on the table bc I have kids and if the school needed to call me I need to know about it. Imagine most parents whether in legal profession or not feel similarly. You sound v rigid [/quote]

That’s ridiculous. If they called you could call back after the meeting/lunch. It’s not like you are a doctor because you have kids.

Put the phone in pocket or purse, if someone calls you’ll likely feel vibration or hear ringtone. [/quote]

It’s more important to me to be avail if my kid had a medical emergency - or my parent- than to impress anyone who has some bizarre issue with someone’s phone being on a table [/quote]

Sorry that you have to bail your kid out of jail all the time. I have three kids 16, 21 and 22 and only twice I got a call at work for an emergency in 22 years. Both times wife was in labor

Luckily my third kid was born when already home and parents nice enough to die not during work hours . [/quote]

So what you're saying is that when the kid needed to be picked up early from school because they vomited/had a fever/got something stuck up their nose/had an allergic reaction (ALL of these have happened to me), they called your wife.
