Of course! I meant why her gf would block people she doesn't recognize. I understand wanting privacy and all but what do you expect dating a public figure with thousands of followers, just go private lmao.

I'm genuinely in awe if they haven't said anything to her yet, I could not take her seriously as a practicing solicitor with her posts and captions...
I know Eve would reply that her posts don't reduce her credibility in the workforce, there are codes of conduct for a reason. PROFESSIONALISM. There is a time and place for everything. You can't flash your underwear at work, she is still a solicitor outside of work, she should be more mindful of this. The way she represents herself outside of work reflects on her career. Eve is 24 years old is she not? Time to grow up I believe.

Apologies I misunderstood your post. Yes, exactly it's a good point why doesn't her girlfriend just go private? I think she went on a blocking wave a few weeks ago as a few others on here mentioned they had been blocked too.

Eve might have to start being careful she doesn't fall foul of any professional standards set by the solicitor regulator. Not sure if they have any codes re. dress and showing off body parts/partial nudity but I wouldn't be surprised if they did. I accept that showing her belly button probably isn't going to slip in to either of those categories, in fact I remember her once posting a photo of her work outfit which she was flashing off her belly button too which I thought was unprofessional but clearly she got away with it. However, showing her partially pulled down, unzipped trousers and flashing her knickers might get her in to trouble...

I can't understand Eve's obsession with wanting to look "gay" (per her latest story). I'm a really big believer in people feeling free and able to express themselves (having even said it on this thread) but it's like every fashion choice is "because I'm gay". Shag haircuts are very much in fashion right now, as is a lot of her style. It's not revolutionary and it's certainly not "gay style" so I don't get the obsession

Party of me thinks it’s because it took her a while to be comfortable with her sexuality that she now openly makes all of these references

also her saying v gay content to follow, unless it’s two same gender people kissing or shagging, I don’t know what would make it v gay content……

I remember that video. She seemed so proud about that task when it was such a bulls*it thing to do for someone with a law degree.

Does anyone remember the post on here that said that no one wanted to work with her? Having you write the newsletter is an indication that because no one wants to work with her, she’s stuck doing these kinds of things. But as she seemed to enjoy it, you may think she did not go in the right field at all… I feel slightly sorry for her. Also, why was it that no one wanted to work with her?

From reading the reddit thread it seemed like she's not even really 'in tech' & there was some skepticism at her describing herself as a 'woman in stem' now. She's still with Linklaters, just in a division that manages an in-house software. It's probably a good stepping stone to a job at a tech company down the line though!

Tbh I took the whole woman in STEM thing as a bit of a joke. There was a sound going around on TikTok that said "I am a woman in STEM" but it was used ironically for situations that are clearly not STEM-related. Although you never know with Eve.

Controversial but
Thing is... I don't think I would be that mad at her for saying that the pandemic/lockdown wasn't overall horrible. Breaking rules is another thing obviously, but then that's just sort of realistic. I know plenty of people who broke rules and their pandemic wasn't as bad as it could have been

I think trying to fit yourself into the 'dark time' pandemic that many people genuinely experienced is just not very nice tbh

Oh absolutely! I personally was extremely lucky and didn't get too much affected by the pandemic (except for having to respect lockdowns & social distancing rules) so I can't fault anyone for having had the same experience. We didn't choose our circumstances, but we can choose to be honest about them.
As far as we know though, Eve was also one of the lucky ones, especially considering she was actively looking for, and got in a relationship during a pandemic + travelled multiple times, both in England and abroad. So for her to say that it was "such a hard time" seems quite tone-deaf, especially since she is saying it to her public audience. Everybody can feel down, even in the best of circumstances, but there is a difference between talking about it to your close circle / a therapist and writing about it online for everyone to see. I don't know if she's doing it to seem ~ relatable ~ but it comes across as the opposite lmao.

I definitely think in the post-WFH era people don't feel the need to dress super-smart for work as they did in the past. I had an in-person meeting for my job (public sector corporate kind of vibes) and 2/5 people came in jeans. I can't picture that happening before but life is becoming way more dress-down than it used to be.

Edit: also we work normal hours, if I had a job where I might be there 8am-10pm you can bet I'm not wearing something uncomfortable just to look 'smart'.

 

[xoxogossip_girl]

I do think the legal industry as a whole is too uptight to retain younger staff, at least in more traditional firms.

I see it in firms all the time, they're anti-work from home and technology generally and would rather micromanage everyone in an office and have endless meetings and a dress code when you could do it all at home in a tracksuit.

I know she shares a lot about herself online but everywhere has become a bit like that. LinkedIn these days is more baby announcements and sob stories than anything career-related.

 

[bublifuk]

I'm assuming it's a CV boosting move? Then again I don't know much about law firms.

It's so she can tweet about being a #WomaninTech

 

[Hot_Dogs_Or_Toes]

I think the 'fame' has got to her head a bit. I'm sure Linklater's value her as an outreach person because of her popularity, and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that has played into her getting a job there (+ the brownie points for having someone LGBT, especially with the push for diversity in the sector over the last year), but at the same time I think Eve is overplaying her importance a bit, as well as how important her sexuality/personal life is within the workplace, and flaunting rules due to that

Though I also wouldn't be surprised if she behaves fairly 'normally' at work and then the only issue is her public IG

I think to be fair to Eve she got the job at Linklaters before she came out as gay so I doubt that had any bearing on their decision to employ her.

Eve definitely thinks that her new found sexuality is more important than it actually is though. Fine, it's important to you Eve but the rest of us are indifferent to it at best.

Just to add, I think it also comes off as really pretentious. Her "dark time" was probably not being able to go to the office, or go clubbing, or drink in bars which is absolutely fine. I know I missed those things too, but on the whole she was incredibly lucky. She retained her job, she managed to get into a relationship, she was able to visit family. I hate the phrase "some people have it worse" but for her to just slap the term "dark time" on her situation without any context just sounds so spoilt to me

 

[YellowLadybird]

I might be wrong but I presume that she signs an NDA or has some sort of clause like that built into her contract.

Probably, yes... but that would cover the specifics of working at LL, and I still think she could keep to the terms whilst deconstructing a lot of the issues:

- The expectation of working 12+ hour days, making it impossible to have a life, that you are set up for with the seemingly insane amount of study you need to do on the LPC to even get there in the first place.

- The fact that she originally wanted to do Human Rights, as do many, but all the money is in Commercial. Is it really right that that is where all our brightest and most capable are pushed towards if they want to earn a good salary?

- The incredibly specific skillset that you learn, that probably makes it really hard for people to leave if it isn't the industry for them. It seems like Eve really lucked out finding a 'seat' in her TC that enabled her to pivot out of law when she wasn't enjoying it any more.

I think there's a lot to say about as she decided to embrace her true self (being out as gay) rather than embodying what others wanted her to be, she found that the environment of Corporate Law wasn't for her any more. I do expect her to move on from that tech role fairly soon, once she's spent enough time to establish herself in the industry. What can we take from that about how the industry really thinks of diversity - are they just finding people who tick boxes and/or look different to the stereotype, but otherwise want them to be exactly the same and maintain the status quo?

Question: do you people think that this looks like Eve or no?View attachment 558274

I’d go as far to say it is eve! Not just looks like

 

[Merpedy]

I was going to ask what the heck for, then I saw the ad and she's just outsourcing all her influencer stuff to other people? I guess the only thing she's picked up from her project management gig so far is to delegate and outsource whatever she can?

If you care so little and have so little creative drive that you have to hand off all your content creator work and pay people to think up, research and edit videos for you, then it's time to call it quits and focus on the day job and spend your free time doing something you actually enjoy.

I mean, if her influencer career isn't generating enough money or holding her attention enough to support her full time, I'm not sure I see the sense in paying her dwindling ad revenue to people to do her work for her. If she's going to be lazy and half-ass everything, she may as well either quit or just go through the motions by herself and just continue ripping off LegalEagle content until her channel dies.

Didn’t see say she loves being creative and her channel is part of that? One would think that editing, while maybe a bit tiring, would be part of being creative

I wonder what she needs a legal researcher for. I’d think it would be best for her to focus on what she actually learnt from her TC and the stuff she’s learning now rather than presumably branching out into fields she’s not that knowledgable about

Spill that tea.

 

[LetsTalk09088]

I'm just surprised as to how she can post clearly unprofessional pictures and swearing all over her Instagram whilst working at Linklaters? I thought big corporations care about their image and whilst they get free publicity from her, even though it's not *that needed* because they're already a named firm but how is it acceptable?
Or saying "do crime?" in one of her captions. I know its nots supposed to be taken seriously but how is this allowed??

Hi!

I have some tea that I thought would be interesting. I find it quite hilarious how she preaches how she views success as ‘earning your own money, paying your own bills, helping parents’. Basically, all of this crap about financial independence and how she values it... Like her gf is so loaded? They live in an 2.5 million house in Surrey with close links to London. As far as I know, the gf only recently got a minimum wage paying job last month and relies entirely on her parents... The gf goes on all of these trips and stays at 5* hotels in Santorini etc. So much for financial independence being so valued... Also, the lockdown breaking rules. It’s always the rich, entitled ones. The gf went on holiday in late September and I’m pretty sure it was with Eve. One thing I find weird is that Eve has never posted pictures of it. But the gf posted so many pictures of the trip but it isn’t exactly clear with who. In all of the pictures, the gf is with some girl that could be Eve, same build as Eve, same hair, same rings, same eyebrows. The thing that had convinced me it was in fact Eve, was that the gf posted an old film picture in Santorini of the girl she was with and 99% sure it is Eve. Lockdown breaking and trying to hide it lol.

Speaking of rule breaking, the way they see each other almost every weekend. Like since when was that ever allowed? Staying at each others’ houses etc.? Going back home? Visiting all of the other friends? I follow the gf and she gives 0 craps about restrictions as she is always out with all of these different people.

I wonder how they even met. I know it was on Tinder. But I wonder why a girl like the gf would go for someone like Eve? I reckon it’s money. The gf obviously comes from a wealthy background (the dad does all of this Chief Technology Management stuff, he’s the CEO of many things and he invests). I also notice the gf posting things and sharing stuff about properties and how she wants to own this and that. Obviously, everyone has dreams but she is very materialistic. I reckon she must be drawn to Eve because of her job and the money it brings. For example, Eve took her to this place in England for the gf’s birthday when they were dating just over a month, costing £600 a night... Other than that, the gf is like SOOOO pretty and has it all. I don’t know why else she’d go for Eve lol. Anyway, I wonder how long they will last.

Also, this whole company bizz. Was selling the rest of the cups stock, her way of closing down the business or whatever. Seemed lowkey weird to me.

And lastly- anyone know why Eve has privatised so many of her videos? I don’t really get it. But anyway!

How do you know they met on tinder?

Would it kill her to wear a mask on the Tube?
They were either going to or coming from Vee's launch party, I just cannot deal with people like her anymore. Wearing a mask on public transport is the least you can do right now, especially if you have an active social life as she does. Glad to see at least Jack is doing the bare minimum.

Isn't it now mandatory to be wearing a facemask on public transport now too?
At least a few weeks ago it was more of a choice which you were strongly encouraged to take, now it's just plain stupid

 

[lolwhyamihere21]

I remember seeing the comments about her not being great at her job but I question the validity of those to be honest. If that was true why was she offered an associate position within Linklaters?

I agree, even if she isn't excellent she surely could not have been bad at her job. I get the feeling that with the pandemic and her relationship she realized that her personal life is a lot more important to her than she initially believed it would be, maybe her coming to terms with her sexuality and feeling more comfortable with her life and interests played a role in that too. honestly seems like a good decision for her especially since she liked tech so much (which I always thought was random and out of the blue, but what do I know about her interests). considering she's still technically at linklaters the pay must still be good

 

[Merpedy]

She’s playing a dangerous game, in my opinion. I’m not sure why she’s risking the 100k-per-year job she worked so hard for. She’s in the thrall of the current wokery that seems to be gripping society.

I think the 'fame' has got to her head a bit. I'm sure Linklater's value her as an outreach person because of her popularity, and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that has played into her getting a job there (+ the brownie points for having someone LGBT, especially with the push for diversity in the sector over the last year), but at the same time I think Eve is overplaying her importance a bit, as well as how important her sexuality/personal life is within the workplace, and flaunting rules due to that
