Partner from one office secretly moves to another geography far away. Keeps telling all his new lateral mentees that he'll be in their office "next week." He is never in their office.

Partner scheduled deposition of class plaintiff, PMQ depo of his biggest client, and mediation with 5 parties. He didn’t tell me. Then took a two week vacation to Europe and left me to handle all at the last minute. His Facebook posts looked fun though. Found a new job during his vacation and gave notice the day he got back.

Went on vacation and left me with an abusive client during closing without any heads up. Ignored all emails.

Mid-level associate in top 50 ALM. I’m exhausted. My client got a new contact, and I now dislike the client. I have had maybe three days off this entire year.

I should be happy: My firm loves me, they want me to be partner (so they say), manage a large book, well-paid, etc. Anyone else going through the emotions? How are you getting through it?
