A red flag I’ve learned to pay attention to: when everything is “urgent,” but nothing is actually clear.
Has anyone worked in a place like that?

I've been in that scenario, everything that comes along is urgent. And, of course, there's a reason for that. Because someone upstairs sat around and didn't deal with something when they should have, so now people have to handle it like they're racing against the clock. It never fails.

This sounds like my last company. There was never any clear direction on what tasks to prioritize. Everyone was running around like chickens with their heads cut off and it was way too chaotic for me.

I am an m&a junior at a firm that is generally considered a lifestyle firm (pay below market but target hours are lower unless pushing for partner).

I’m not convinced the partners in my team (who are aware of the problem but cannot convince management) can recruit people to replace given we pay below market.
