Hey folks. Question for the majority of us still under the big 3 holding co’s...are raises a thing anymore? I’ve been at my (smaller) agency almost 5yrs and got one raise (a nice $12k bump) during that time—is that sufficient? Is one increase in that span normal? I also recognize being somewhere 5 years is rare these days. The honeymoon period at any agency seems to be 2.5—3yrs before bolting. Not complaining, just asking. Have y’all been getting raises/bumps in any kind of regular cycle? Thx.

I think this year is a tricky one to ask for a raise but you should be getting annual 1-3% increases just to cover inflation unless there are outlier bad performance years for the agency or yourself.

Hard to say. I got a pay bump six months in. Then, promotion and another bump another six months after that. Martin’s also pretty good about sprinkling random “just cause” monies to staff sporadically.

No. They aren’t.

My agency is 5+ years overdue with very few exceptions, a couple of counters and the highest attrition rate I’ve ever seen.

Absolutely. If you’re winning business and awards. If you’re chilling-nah.

Nope. Not everyone winning business and awards.

Nope, at least the layoffs arnt as bad anymore.

In the past, lawyer wellness and lawyer discipline/character fitness for bar applicants have existed in silos. I’d like to finally form a bridge between lawyer disciple and lawyer wellness and focus on prevention. When we think of lawyer discipline, we automatically think of outrageous behavior like stealing money. Those are extreme. The common cases are too stressed out and forgetting deadlines or death of a loved one and not having time to call clients back. Cont’d
