You can read Cohen's full statement here: www.linkedin.com/posts/rachel...
I just put in conditional notice at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP and Affiliates. I sent that notice firm-wide and anticipate the email will leak. I would rather just share it with you myself. Once, when I was in fifth grade, I failed a test and came home sobbing. My mom was disappointed in me but couldn’t figure out why I was so upset until I choked out, “now I won’t get into Harvard!!” I was a gunner, even then. I’ve spent thirty years working to get into these spaces. I do not give them up lightly, and I have made plenty of moral compromises before. But this moment is existential; whether we get better from an already unacceptable status quo or get worse hinges on how we handle it. If being on this career path demands I accept that my industry—because this is certainly not unique to Skadden—will allow an authoritarian government to ignore the courts, I refuse to take it any further. As I have said before, others stand to lose far, far more than a paycheck. I’m going to go cry and watch the new White Lotus, but rest assured I will be back tomorrow, and the next day, and the next. Thank you.

Tonight, hours after the Paul Weiss news broke, an associate at Skadden Arps sent a firm-wide email:

"Please consider this email my two week notice, revocable if the firm comes up with a satisfactory response to the current moment...We do not have time. It is now or it is never..."
Jeremy and colleagues, Many deals I work on have concepts of conditional notice. This is mine. Please consider this email my two week notice, revocable if the firm comes up with a satisfactory response to the current moment, which should include at minimum (i) signing on to the firm amicus brief in support of Perkins Coie in its litigation fighting the Trump administration's executive order against it, ii) committing to broad future representation, regardless of whether powerful people view it as adverse to them, (iii) refusal to cooperate with the EEOC's request for personal information of our colleagues clearly targeted at intimidating non-white employees, (iv) public refusal to fire or otherwise force out employees at the Trump administration's directive or implied directive and (v) public commitment to maintenance of affinity groups and related initiatives. This is not what I saw for my career or for my evening, but Paul Weiss' decision to cave to the Trump administration on DEl, representation and staffing has forced my hand. We do not have time. It is now or it is never, and if it is never, I will not continue to work here.

I won't live in denial, but this time around, I also won't live in rage and fear. You cannot let the actions of corrupt and powerful men steal your joy and cloud your mind with despair. There have always been and always will be corrupt and powerful men. Secure your air masks. Life your life. Fight.

another curmudgeonly thread for the many of you who will be entering organizing spaces.

all other things being equal, when confronted with one team of people recruiting you to Be a Thing and another team recruiting you to Do a Thing, please give serious thought to joining the second.

something I find fascinating is how mad (and surprisingly invested?) normal people will get if you explain chevron and the fall of chevron to them. normal people love the admin state. it's wild stuff
