Sounds like you might be in your relationships after they sour, TC1. Would like to hear more of your justification

DD1, stop trying to make this a thing

βœ‰βšͺβšͺβšͺβšͺ

I'm married so I'm not in a sour relationship what so ever. When you're married there's an additional level of commitment and trust you have with your partner. In my experience personally and through friends, relationships can end quickly because the trust isn't treasured. The relationship is thrown away too quickly due to "grass is greener" type thinking. Once both people decide they are committed long term, there's a layer of paranoia of the other persona leaving that's lifted.

$1.5M client and new β€œprofitability tool” showing %0 profit. Credit split 50/50 btw 20 year attorney/equity partner (JEP) and a much more senior/connected EP (SEP). Both SEP and JEP developed separate workstreams unrelated to the other. SEPβ€˜s was terminated 3 years ago and only accounts for $200K trail off of the $1.5M. SEP’s salary is 3 times JEP’s. Profitability tool β€œcosts” are not transparent, suspect SEP’s high salary is a factor. Anything (other than typical overhead) to ask about?

Any downsides/done this recently?

Because of this, I find myself having to write a LOT of custom code to make things look/behave properly. Is this normal? I’m happy to help, but this is way outside my JD.
