What stands out is that this content creator is self-impressed and constantly wants credit for doing things that any competent working professional does on a daily basis:
- "I was there taking thorough notes y'all"
- "I had a counter to every point they made"
- "I came prepared!"

As opposed to showing up to a meeting with general counsel unprepared?

At one point she informs us that in her mind, these things are demonstrative of her playing a chess game.

"Whether or not they heard me; I heard me. My ANCESTORS HEARD ME." This made me cringe so hard that I left my body.

She's playing up the transparency angle for her tiktok followers but at least a part of her understands that the payments for her new E450 coupe have to come from somewhere. If she is leaves STB, it won't be her choice.

Those associates need a TikTok presence so Kirkland will fear firing them.

Considering the number of attorneys Kirkland has and the rate at which these Tiktok "stars" are popping up... a little surprised we haven't found a Kirkland attorney yet. Could be the requisite that to join Kirkland, one must lack personality and any and all passion in life.

One of the first popular Biglaw TikTok influencers was a Kirkland LA lit associate. I want to say her @ was ellewoodsesq or something like that, but I can’t find it anywhere so she must have deleted her account.

I'm living for every drop now.

Me too. If I weren’t in this line of work, I prob wouldn’t find this interesting. But since I am, my mind is blown.

Likewise. We need one of those mega threads for cringe big law tiktokers.

It's an absolute farce that STB allows her to carry on like this, while "Non-Diverse" associates across biglaw are being canned for horseshit reasons (or no reason at all) right now.

Really went full "mask off" here, but I guess we can still call it mask on, because you're hiding your racism through anon abuse.

There’s no other explanation for how this person still works at STB. If that’s racist, then ok dude.

How is it "literally" racist? Genuinely asking

I'm an old fashioned liberal. Just treat people the same. People should not get special privileges or allowances for being white or black or whatever, male or female or whatever.

Assuming the reason this lawyer is still employed at her Biglaw firm is the color of her skin is "literally" racist. That is, in fact, the proper use of the word "literal." It is a thing that is actually racist. Congrats! You learned a word today!

How does that imply that one race is superior to another?

Need a new cringe drop, I'm getting addicted to her TikTok.

It is pretty well known in biglaw and outside of biglaw that diverse candidates in corporate settings get more wiggle room for mistakes for DEI purposes

Are you asserting this isn't the case? Can you say with a straight face that a white kid would have been given the same leeway?

x2. Can anyone show me a white guy in biglaw who is (i) engaging in the same behavior and (ii) getting off scott-free? Because if such a gentleman exists, I think he'd be getting invited to a Zoom of Death, not a meeting with the firm's general counsel.

The thing is, none of us knows anything about her work ability and general standing with people she works with regularly (the mistakes she talks about in one of the videos notwithstanding). You can speculate if you like but that’s all it is. Also, unless you can point to a white dude who has been fired for such behavior, the comparison isn’t helpful.

Given that you can't point to a single "white dude" who is on TikTok bashing his firm & admitting the firm's work product has mistakes, we don't even need to go the next step.

[Tableau]

Can we just stick to discussing the cringe aspects of her videos and not concern ourselves with whether she would still have her job if she weren’t an underrepresented minority? I don’t think the question itself is racist but this is moving into territory that is likely going to result in this thread being shut down. Don’t want this to happen as the thread has been entertaining.

There was a white man at Northwestern with a prominent TikTok account. His offer to summer at Sidley Austin was revoked on account of the controversy that it stirred up.

I mean, if there aren’t any, you can’t insist they’d get fired sooner than this chick.

The controversy there that doesn’t exist here was that he was accused of sexual assault.

Edit: I should clarify and say that I’m not saying that I think what this woman is doing is a great idea, at all. She may yet get fired. I just think all the “a white guy would never get away with this” talk is kind of gross.

There aren’t any because they know they’d be fired. This person is rubbing the STB partnership’s nose (and the noses of everyone else) in her protected status. With that said, I’m not calling for anybody to lose their job. She should delete her TikTok account, apologize to her firm, and then thank God she still has a highly remunerative professional job.

I can't even point to a white guy who has a TikTok while in biglaw. I wonder why that is?

See my edit above about how this kind of comparison is gross. She’s not rubbing everyone’s nose in her “protected” status. Again, I’m not saying that she’s using TikTok wisely, but the racial elements to the discussion are gross.
