Drowning. Joined firm last summer, brought a decent little book, primarily litigation associate. I’ve been buried in numerous matters from my transferring clients and matters at my new, small-ish firm. I get consistently favorable results, im in the office all week, manage all my cases independently. After 6 months, just told billables are too low, turnaround time is too high, and theyre concerned about my fit. I feel like I’ve just been launched into a bunch of matters with little/no guidance.
I see no reason to be in the office 50 hours a week. May only go back 3 days a week or partial days to avoid traffic. I get more done wfh.
My V50 firm has acknowledged that it’s re-thinking its use of physical office space for the long term.
Just WFH and we'll get rid of this big fancy office.
Imagine all the money saved
