What the hell is a reduced workload as a partner? Isn’t that called retirement?

Aren’t you expected to work as a partner?

BDO has partners with a reduced workload

helpful

Would love to hear about how it works. My firm has very detailed sales and delivery goals which I would assume would be prorata based on unit reduction. But what about all the other administrative things, like branding, recruiting, coaching and retaining talent, CPE. Would want to make sure it is truly reduced and pay is still commensurate with effort. This would only be temporary during a health issue so would also want to know how it would impact long term and return to full time.

Anyone including partners can go on a flexible work arrangement that is "negotiate" with expectations. You are also responsible for helping with game plan on who/how other work will get done without significant burden on others

Highly unlikely. And even with a reduced client load and compensation, you will still be expected to be available to staff, managers and clients, which translates you working a reduced workweek of 50 hours instead of 60.

BDO’s reduced workload for partners is legit. I am not on it myself, but I know of some well respected partners who work reduced schedules (either now or in the past).

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together.

My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao

Where do you find the time to get everything done in the day when you have multiple partners, associates and equity partners that interrupt you and want things turned around immediately while simultaneously working on deadlines? I feel like I’m the only one that can’t manage a 70+ case load without letting someone down. I constantly have to say “Can I do this tomorrow?” Etc. I don’t even have time to bill on the clock. I work until 7p at least every night. Top 10 family law firm.
