Almost 50% of companies are cutting layers of management in pursuit of speed, efficiency, and cost savings. However, The Great Flattening (or Unbossing) requires leadership roles to be redefined (increased coaching, development, and feedback). I think it’s needed but will fail without senior management changes, especially in HR, which is often full of middle managers, who have been historically resistant to cultural change. What do you think of The Great Flattening?

I work with great people. Really can’t say anything bad about my firm in general either. But…I still dislike the entire premise of law firm life, the billable hour, etc.. I’d love to work in a law school setting as a counselor or something but I can’t afford the pay cut. *sigh* Does anyone feel like being a lawyer is just doing homework all day? First world problems I suppose. I’m very thankful to have a job ❤️

How do y’all deal with people at work who are stuck on stupid? Like they have no idea what they’re talking about and they REFUSE to learn. It’s like they have a god complex or something even with proof, maybe bc of their tenure at the company? Even if there’s valid data backing up that they’re wrong. Maybe it’s bc I’m a type 8 enneagram, but it frustrates the hell out of me!
So any advice would be lovely :)
