Last I checked it is illegal to ask for age, none of their business.

First part pretty common. Second part straddling legality but I always found that stupid anyway since clearly you show your ID with that info anyway. You are thinking of discrimination law, I take it? It might be to see if people are just dropping years off their resume to try to seem like a fresh-faced 23 year old if they are 35, or instead of a 52 year old a 65 year old.

The age question is blatantly illegal in many areas. What country are you based in?

I know that some other associates at my level are approximately 30% behind other associates in hours on a month to month basis. Yet all of these associates say they are “at capacity”, and myself and another associate still end up being assigned work instead of them. How do we handle this? For reference, all associates are around the firms minimum requirement, it’s just that a few of us are 30+% over and it is leading to burnout.
