Anyone that has utilization issues because of the quality of their work should be aware that they are subject to termination with cause. It also depends on whether this is a pervasive and continuing issue or isolated and part of just being a new staff.

Generally your manager/pml/equivalent will communicate do betters to you and give you time to improve before it is formally documented. Then, if you are still struggling there will be a formal process that still gives you a set amount of time to improve or to look for a new job.

I would say if they can tell you are trying your leash will be longer and they may be willing to put you on jobs that might better for your skill set.

Stuck working with a client I cannot stand to the point that I've seriously considered looking for a new job. The work isn't that bad but the client is rude, patronizing, and often straight-up problematic. No one does anything about it since he takes up a ton of space and projects a lot of confidence. Just needed to vent I guess but any advice is definitely appreciated.

I’m a new associate working for a well-known defense attorney in my state. On one hand, I’m thankful for the opportunity to learn from one of the best, but he also excoriates and belittles me for my mistakes. Any advice on how much it tolerable? I am here to learn and advance my career but he can be pretty nasty. (My mistakes are no worse than you’d expect a 1st year associate to make, in case you’re all wondering if I’m a major screw-up who deserves it) I leave work feeling a foot tall.

Super burned out from my last project, was looking forward to some time on the bench to recover but now I'm anxious that not working will have me first in line for layoffs. Struggling with motivation.

It can save so much time for everyone involved.
