Sounds about right. What type of project?

Tech... I've seen the studies about having "maintenance" conversations at the beginning of a meeting, but this is ridiculous. 15 minutes of maintenance + another 5 to get back on track adds a stupid amount of time to a meeting that could have ended an hour ago

So stuck. What do I do? I joined this firm a year ago (4 yrs exp total) to grow/get more court/client exposure. Then 2 more-experienced associates were hired, pandemic, & all cases are divided between the other 2. I have no defined tasks except deficiency letters or the odd pro bono case. Boss claims it's mentoring. I still need to meet bill req.

Last wk Boss said I'll do more & my work was good, but today said I can't 2nd chair bc I don't have experience. I'm doing less now than my prior firm.
