How unfortunate! But that’s the nature of the job. The firm will use the hell out of u then cut u loose if they don’t need u or if performance is not up to par.

We fired someone last feb....during busy season. A first year that couldn't do anything. Everyone just wanted him off their team because he was just eating budget and getting 0 work done.

Sometimes the firm is in the process of a separation. Unfortunately although we’d like it to be quicker it can take 6+ months to get a termination complete. It very well may have been that the firm was trying to get the separation done before busy season and legally couldn’t. Only saying because I was in that position one year

I read to the kids a book that ended with a line like, "If it was a good story, start all over."I told the kids I really only did that once in my life regarding a book about a teacher going to teach in Africa. In reality it was about a missionary. I hid the name of it and what it really was about. In other instances I've also explained the meaning of life is to love sacrificialy without telling them the source. I feel guilty hiding the Truth. How do you speak the Truth without being fired?

Hi!!

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.
