Any children of immigrants feel like you are at a huge disadvantage due to cultural differences and that being viewed as “different “ (whether consciously or unconsciously) means no one in your firm is willing to invest, mentor or coach you? I feel so isolated and like I’m not included in anything that matters. I’m only included when someone needs to dump work on. Only thing I can attribute this to is being viewed as an “other”.

No, you’re really reaching here. If you want to be more involved that needs to come from you. I can promise you a victim mentality will get you nowhere. You need to step up and start being friendlier and show interest.

I just finished a big jury trial with a senior partner (SP). There were co-parties w/separate counsel. SP mentally checked out, to the point that co-counsel was asking what SP was doing/if SP was okay. I ended up handling most everything. SP did a few parts but went rogue and did things that were offensive/risky/bad for client. It became clear that SP is not performing like SP used to and may be a liability. Do I tell someone at my firm? Don’t want to offend SP or cause drama, but I’m concerned.
