[quote=Anonymous]Another Biglaw partner here.

If your DH is routinely getting emergencies dumped on him Friday evenings for Monday AM deliverable, that’s a him problem. Could be not setting boundaries with clients, could be not managing/anticipating work appropriately, could be he hasn’t developed a good team. Probably all three.

In any case, that kind of thing is exceedingly rare for most partners. Sure it happens, but like 2x a year. Same w/ the horror stories you hear about “ruined vacations” and such. In weekends, I work on average about 2 hours on Sunday—mostly assigning work and entering time. I’ll take an occasional call on vacation or spend a morning on my laptop if something is truly urgent, but that’s it. Have never once in a decent number of years had to entirely miss anything.

I’ve learned over the years that most of the people this happens to like it that way… they’re the same ones when you ask (as a regular human) “hey, how’s it going?” will respond with some reference to how busy they are. 🤮

Total weirdos.
