Is that the case for non-equity partners’ assistants shared among several equity/non-equity/associate attorneys? I was a generous associate but 10x billable is far different than 100/class year.

$100 x years of experience as an NSP.

Sorry! I was trolling

The rule of thumb is 10x your billable rate.

The most important thing is to know what others at your firm do. You don’t want to be an outlier, especially not less than others. I share an admin and a backup, so I discuss with the other partners so we’re all in the same ballpark. And it is very likely the admins discuss these gifts among themselves.

What do you all think would be appropriate for a NEP at a 60 attorney firm where we share assistants (appx 5 atty/asst)? And due to people leaving and new hires, I’ve had 3 assistants this year.

250 for your secretary. They do much for you? Maybe more.

Have you ever taken a career slow down? I am feeling burnt out from COVID and the incremental responsibilities thrown my way over the last 5+ years. I feel like my health has deteriorated. I like my company, but I want to do less. I don’t need to be a HR Director, CHRO, etc. With a career slowdown, I am prepared for a lower compensation and would want decent benefits. Any lessons learned or success stories about career slowdowns?

I am planning on asking for a raise in my base salary and I am unsure what the market price would be for my skills at a staffing agency. I am in the top producer at my company with over 50 producers. I generate an average of $120k in GM per quarter. I am approaching my first year end review and I am currently at a base salary of $70,000 and I have 3 years of prior experience in the industry. What should I be asking for in this situation?

Why is education deemed more valuable on a pay scale than experience? Employers will pay someone with a degree and no experience a greater salary, than someone who has exhibited the experience. Understanding that the degreed person committed to school and finished, yet that doesn't diminish what the not degreed has committed to and accomplished in their careers. This has to stop!

We are seeing more pushback from employees on working 40 hours. We offer flexibility (wfh), 11 holidays and another 3 wks PTO. Seems like a good gig, I think, at 40-45 hrs. Anyone seeing this too?

I really need advice. I’ve been in my current role for a couple years and I’m just so defeated. I am good at my job. I work so hard and I’m so undervalued and unappreciated. My work is scrutinized to a degree that no one else experiences (I could give concrete examples of other people delivering design work that haven’t met BASIC design principles and it’s gotten approved) compared to me where I frequently get feedback that somehow makes my work worse but I just comply because it’s not (1/2)

General question: Is there any room in corporate America for real, actionable DE&I discussions and initiatives?

Is this just how it is?
