Sex Doll Poster on Fishbowl, Alleged Illegal Dumping and More - Is This a Joke?

Humor is always welcome on Fishbowl, especially in the form of quips and irony. But the poster on the Big Law branch might have crossed a line on trying to be funny and that might not be enjoyed by all. We don't even know if the pickle he is in really exits. 

The saga starts out a while ago with the lament that he has buyer's remorse about purchasing a sex doll. It is large, heavy in weight, and cumbersome. In his residence it is taking up way too much space. He muses about how to get rid of it.

Well, according to the post on Fishbowl Big Law today, the solution he came up was not a wise one.

" ... [I] paid for someone to just take it away ... Now I am getting a call from the police from Harris County (Houston TX, I'm in NY) about illegal 'dumping.' They are saying the offense is aggravated because apparently waste of police resources cause they thought there was a dead body, and I could be looking at a felony. Any recs for a criminal defense atty?"

Those responding seem to go along and take him seriously. But that deadpan stance could be a buy-in for the joke. 

Actually, the option to introduce a sex doll into one's life should be treated more seriously. The practice is catching on in Japan and any stigma lessening. In America, where there is epidemic of loneliness among all generations, sure, one can understand the pull force to hook up with this kind of companion. 

The takeaway could be: Whatever gets you through the night.

America Not Hiring in 2026: Back to Golden Age of Solopreneurs?

 For hiring, 2025 was a brutal year to search for a job. The Wall Street Journal reports that 2026 could be worse: "At a gathering of CEOs in Midtown Manhattan this month organized by the Yale School of Management, 66% of leaders surveyed said they planned to either fire workers or maintain the size of their existing teams next year. Only a third indicated they planned to hire." The WSJ adds that pullback from adding manpower could be temporary. But given shareholders' demand for cost-efficiency and the continual improvements in AI, chronic unemployment could become standard. However, there is a solution. An old-fashioned one. That's becoming a solopreneur, that is setting up your own business without partners or employees. The model dates back to ancient times.  The golden age of the solo business owner in America had been from the late 1800s to about the mid 1920s.  There had been a wave of immigrants, discrimination against them and few jobs. They drove pushcarts ...

Scott Barshay's Leadership at Paul, Weiss Torpedoed, PR Nothing But a Joke, Sympathy for Brad Karp

  Last week was a bad, gone worse and worse, one for law firm Wachtell.   This week starts out as what could upend the new leadership of Scott Barshay (The Decider) at Paul, Weiss.  Today's very long-form article in The New York Times  by Michael Schmidt and Jessica Silver-Greenberg depicts Barshay negatively. Understatement. He is rolled out as one-dimensionally power-driven, abrasive, divisive and downright naive about the power of the media. About the latter, he blew off any concern about the media's response to the law firm's removing from the website the Center to Combat Hate.  An example of the beating delivered Barshay? Here is the NYT coverage of the response by some at Paul, Weiss when Barshay was hired: "But there was unease among some at Paul Weiss. Partners and associates learned from lawyers at Cravath that some people there were not unhappy to see Mr. Barshay go. His ego made him difficult to work with, the Paul Weiss lawyers were told." No ambigu...

Newly Minted PhDs in Economics Face Unwelcoming Job Market: Of Course, I Left My PhD in Humanities Off the Resume

Monitor postings on Reddit subunits focused on careers and it's no longer news that PhDs, both newly minted and those already in the labor market, generally are finding the credential an obstacle in the search for a job or even contract assignments. No, not an asset.  Let's cut to the chase. The highly educated have to get smart about this, fast. With some exceptions, I advise those I coach to leave the PhD off job-search materials. The negative assumptions among those hiring range from that you expect too much money to you'll be a know-it-all.  When my boutique collapsed post-9/11 and I had to land a survival job I lopped off everything but the BA. At the interview I dumbed-down my vocabulary. Sure Harvard was started in 1636 but America remains anti-intellectual. In addition, the integration of AI into strategy and operations makes knowledge work in general less and less marketable.  That's the narrative of our times: Advanced degrees having low or no ROI. The result,...
