She posted about flexible working spaces? Surely you’d go to your office as it was free?

Yeah lawyers work what, 70+ hour weeks(?) they do ridiculous OT because that’s part of the job. They’re paid not to have a social life, to put in all their energy and enthusiasm into the job instead.
The whole “I go back on my terms” rubbed me up the wrong way lol. Not everyone has that option, you go back to the office if your boss says, end of. If Linklaters say all employees must go back (after all, don’t they have facilities to finance too?) she may have no choice either. Depends on what makes sense financially for the company
She knew what she was signing up too! It’s not like she only started in the pandemic….
The bit sort of made me raise an eyebrow
I know the post is aimed at graduates but it very much feels like it's aimed at 'successful' graduates. I know plenty of people who graduated and went on to work full time at the local supermarket or other essential roles that wouldn't have had the choice to be working from home to begin with. It just feels slightly out of touch imo
Sorry she’s been going to and from Chester to work at her parents house?! Every Friday? Wtf???
As someone who’s at the same stage in his career as Eve, that stood out to me too. The only way it makes sense to me is if she is actively trying to avoid her coworkers.
If you have a nice setup at home like she does, going to a coworking space has all the downsides of going to the office (except maybe a shorter commute) but with none of the benefits. It’s the worst of both worlds. It screams having problems at either home or at work.
If you read the comments, someone very politely calls her out on the post as a whole and points out why many young lawyers want to return to the office at least part-time.
Also, does she never talk during calls? I would be concerned about my client’s confidentiality if I was talking in the middle of a coworking space surrounded by the same strangers all day long.
Her admitting to talking calls while “on the move” or doing other things also reflects poorly on her. At best it is disrespectful to her coworkers. But for client calls, the clients pay extra for her being on the call. When I was previously on the client side, I had embarrassing conversations with partners about not wanting to pay for people to join calls who didn’t add value. I would be so embarrassed if my current clients told my supervisor that they didn’t want me to join calls because they thought, based on an instagram post, I was dicking around on their dime.

There's quite a big discourse amongst legal professionals atm who are basically fed up. Examples of conversations being had at the moment are flexible working (like what Eve has brought up), changing to a 4-day working week and challenging their employer's assumed entitlement to contact them out of hours/on the weekends. The pandemic has been quite an eye-opener for everyone in the industry and has made many look more closely at what really matters to them.
I’m sure it’s not that deep LOL. She is surely not taking client calls in co-working spaces and I don’t think it is okay to speculate that she goes there because she has problems either at work or at home. Sometimes you just need to change your location because being either at your house or at the office and nowhere else for over a year is starting to get on your nerves. I work in a similarly demanding environment as she does and even I sometimes work from coffeehouses if I don’t have any calls because both my office and my home office setup are starting to drive me nuts sometimes especially after intense projects.
And taking calls and doing something else in the meantime- don’t tell me you didn’t do it at all during the pandemic. If not then that’s maybe negative points for you rather than for her. She is surely not doing it during important client calls where you need to have your camera on so how would she even do it. I don’t see anything wrong with doing your laundry or cooking or whatever during less intense calls where you basically just have to listen to what other people are saying. Most people are fully capable of paying attention to what someone is saying while doing some basic tasks like cooking or doing laundry. And it is better use of the time that you would just spend sitting behind the desk and not doing anything productive other than listening.
I feel like you are just looking for things to criticise her for. The post is about working from home and how it improved her work/life balance so it is obviously targeted towards people with similar experiences and not people working at the supermarket and she has every right to make posts like that since it is something that she obviously cares about. Also it is very current topic since lot of corporates are trying to find some solutions to working after COVID and I think that it is only beneficial that people are speaking up about how they feel about home office vs working from the office. The more people express their opinions the more the companies have to work with when they are figuring out how to get back to the office.

I think she's a complete idiot for saying that.
This really pains me because I normally LOVE Eve but this video felt so lazy. Showing us your working day in a pandemic that is starting to come to an end (i.e. things are opening up, we're moving towards a 'new normal') just doesn't fit the tone. She said on her Twitter that she wanted to do a 'Back to Work Outfits' series and that would have been so much better! The new academic year is starting, training contracts are beginning again - it would have made so much more sense. I know she has to pay the bills and wants to monetise her channel but really, ANOTHER Skillshare promotion? They practically own her channel at this point.
Honestly it would make more sense if she moved away from YouTube and just focused on TikTok/Instagram Reels - she clearly enjoys making content but having a YouTube Channel AND being an associate is clearly too much work for her

I think she thought she’d be putting out regular content in the new year so signed up to this deal and then has not done this. It’s not like she needs YouTube but I wouldn’t be surprised if she doesn’t have as many of this continues
genuinely like why bother?? it's not good content and it's not like she needs the money from it
This is why I avoid Skillshare like the plague! Such over-saturation with their influencer marketing.
I like skillshare but am so sick of seeing every influencer promote it. It’s like they don’t care who promotes the site
Because it’s the legal side, she’ll be locked into a contract! But I don’t know why she needs to make videos at all any more, yes when she was a student for money etc but now…. She was stupid accepting this
It's her 'side hustle', most people caught up in toxic productivity culture etc think it's a necessity these days
Do we know if she still lives at her parents? They hang around there quite often.
Am I right in thinking from the latest Insta story that Eve has moved into Raina's old room?
Yeah I think so, maybe Raina moved out??
