I recently started GC with EY law. I haven’t seen any case process since late august and there are a few items past due. The lawyers are not responding to my emails, does anyone know how to get a better sense of case progress and possibly to get the lawyers to speed up the process? Thanks! EY

I took notes on whatever gripe he came up with and I would frame it as an opportunity to grow and thanked him for the insight. I documented my progress and had a folder of “successes” saved for the next time around to justify the next raise I requested. Worse that can happen is you stay in the same spot you are now.
