Industry Sh!t: A letter from "Cynical About Smashing Ceilings 🍼" This is the second instalment of the show's deep dive into the legal industry's deep, dark secrets. We're calling it "Industry Sh!t"—but you can call it whatever gets you into that WhatsApp support group. Featuring the very excellent insights of our resident industry insiders: Tilé Imo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, Leader in the Community Legal Sector and Co-Creator + Co-Host, Tilé and Olly Meets Podcast ⁠Sapphire Parsons⁠, Senior Workplace Lawyer, and Women's Economic Empowerment Champion This week we answer a letter from one of our listeners, "Cynical About Smashing Ceilings"; a working parent who has just returned to work following parental leave, and is shocked to find that they are still expected to deliver a full-time performance on a part-time salary. And because of the weird guilt that comes with having a job to "come back to", they are reticent to raise the issue with the powers that be... As always, we also enjoy forcing an inimitable Australian legal ethics legend—⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Stafford Shepherd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠—to look at today's letter through his kaleidoscopic lens of ethicality in a strict one-minute segment⏰ What do you think?
