My firm has a policy of 4 weeks of leave for taking the bar, which I just finished taking yesterday. I took the leave starting 4 weeks ago tomorrow, and one day of February was a holiday. As a result of this, a form I signed when I went on leave, and a letter I received while on leave stating that my leave would end on Monday, I believe my leave ends on Monday.

I did not go to work today. I just received the following email from a managing partner, and I need XO's advice:

Hi [redacted],

Congratulations on finishing the bar exam. Time to get back to work. Consider your bar leave over as you read this message. We are at war right now. You were given a leave of absence to attend to the formality of the bar exam. We need you back in the trenches. Please immediately make contact with [redacted] and others who have carried the load during your absence and find out what you can do to help. I expect you in the office tomorrow helping out the many people who are busting their tails to get done the work necessary for the expert reports. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at [redacted]. Thanks. And welcome back. Regards, [redacted]

Not just ITE. Always. The only real assets in a law firm are their client relationships. They aren't going to keep you around to potentially threaten any of those unless they trust that you will take it up the ass on demand no matter what. And that you aren't too much of a fuckup.

I realize that this is for the most part true. But so long as there is a non-zero chance that the OP's judgment simply failed him I'd err against memorializing his post.

Wtf is the risk? The only person that could ID the email would be the person who wrote it. Chances are that he reads Xo? And even if he did, nobody else would know that he wrote it so he wouldn't care.

Unless you think biglaw associates across the country are going to print this out and wave it in front of their partners and ask "Omg look whats on xoxo did u write this," I don't see what the risk is.

I wouldn't go in. At stake is not a single day of work, but rather your entire weekend. If you go in tomorrow, there is a good chance you will end up working at least part of the weekend. Respond to the email saying that you are in bumble fuck, USA visiting your family to destress after taking the bar and that you were under the impression that you were expected back on Monday. Tell him that if he needs you back sooner you can probably charter a small aircraft to fly out of your local municipal airport if the firm would be willing to pay.

That's not necessarily so, but you've got to pick your battles. No one knows you or gives a shit about you. You can either:

1) go to work and do what you're fucking supposed to do which is help row row row the boat, or;

2) try to enjoy your weekend wondering what the consequences of such a childish (yet principled!) action like this will be.

It's hard being an adult.

Why the fuck would you need 4 weeks to study for a bar exam if you've already taken one? I studied for my second bar over the course of a friggin weekend.

Perhaps thats why the firm is dismayed. The 4 weeks of leave is probably intended for those making their first pass at a bar.
