A junior employee broke down crying in my office today because their manager criticized them in front of the whole team. I gave them space, support, and promised to follow up. But I’m exhausted from being the emotional sponge of the org. How do you keep your own tank full when you’re always holding others?

Managers who behave that way should have never been promoted in the first place. HR can be emotionally exhausting, but that's part of the package. Protect yourself by sticking to work hours and making sure you have a fulfilling life outside of the office that allows you to recharge.

I’ve practiced litigation in DC for about 5+ years at a larger plaintiffs’ firm, and am considering a switch to a defense firm. Is there any insight to how many billable hours this would require, and how much time that would actually be? For reference, the firm has a 1900 billable hour requirement and the partner said I would have “no problem” fulfilling that based on the work they have.
