Hi All, so i moved in house and my boss is so lazy! It is visible to everyone including senior managers and HR but no one seems to react! I am literally doing everything and it even got to the point where he wouldn’t let me take any leave because he didn’t want to do the work. I planned to stay for a few years but now only looking to do a year after gaining specific experience. Anyone else experience the same? I am soaking up all knowledge and experience - silver lining! Right!

That’s a hard conversation to have. I had a boss like that at a firm I worked at. He wasn’t lazy per se, he was burnt out and disinterested in practicing. He was more preoccupied in managing the law firm as a business and didn’t want to take on any client work. I left because I disagreed with how he ran his practice.

I did try and talk to the boss and in a round about way asked what he does while i meet his objectives! He just said if he was working then something was not right because i was meant to do everything! I don’t think thats the way lol!

Mid-level associate at a mid-size regional insurance defense firm practicing coverage litigation. Salary is capped b/c my firm only does I.D./coverage and has no direct-hire comm clients.

Other than partner track, salary/benefits, and switching from coverage to general comm lit, what qualities of the move should I be thinking about as I weigh my options? I've never worked at another firm.

Transactional associate. Lateraled 6 months ago and one of the biggest pain points has been my new firm’s inclination to “hop on a call”, which of course requires every single stakeholder to join. The end result being every call has 25 people on it and nothing actually gets done because no one wants to ask a question that could come off as silly. It’s destroying my ability to get anything done during the day. It’s a complete performance and it drives me nuts.
