How long does it take for me to get fired if I keep being unassigned?
My team got dissolved due to internal restructuring/regrouping and I am teamless now. My former partner is moving to another team and he said he won't take me with him. All other memebers of the former team except for one junior left the firm already. Not sure if my profile fit for any other team. I got unassigned today. How long do you think I have until I get fired?!

No worries. Just network and find a project in a different team. Do you know any partners outside your team? Do you have an area of interest? Look up those Partners in the directory, and send them your bio. Explain the situation. I am interested in x, and my team was just dissolved, so I am looking to align with a new partner.

Thanks for your advice. Will use my unassigned time for this

Your former partner not taking you with him, or reassigning you, is a red flag. Is he helpful? Can he recommend you to other Partners? If there was a performance issue, start looking.

I have shown poor performance when I started working. It got significantly better but it's hard to change the first impression. Also, the team that the partner is moving is quite different from the former team. I do not think he will give me stellar reference. Thanks for your comment. Will def look for opportunities outside the firm as well

I had a coachee - exp hire consultant- not show up for project and firm initiative and had an unpaid 10k balance on his Amex before he finally was let go a year later.

upside scenario it is

You can also ask HR what teams are looking fir resources, but it’s better to use your own network to align yourself to an area of your interest. HR will likely just align you randomly.

If you are friends with some colleagues whom you like, ask them. Again, it’s better to find a good team yourself than wait for HR to randomly assign you.

So what’s the protocol on being harassed by a former employee - one that reported to you but that the company on the whole fired. For harassment, no less. This guy just can’t let it go after YEARS.

I was fired last month after a short time at the company. I knew things weren't going well- it was a terrible culture fit & I was also planning my exit strategy. They wouldn't give me specific reasons other than to vaguely say it was performance related. I agree I made a few dumb mistakes (none of any dire consequence) but what kills me is that I tried really hard. I don't want to change careers but I have a deep seeded fear that no matter how hard I try, I will never be a "good attorney".

6 months pregnant and just laid off. And 40% of my severance was just taken in taxes .. I just spoke with paid family leave and I no longer qualify even though I had been paying into the program (thanks NY).. I already applied for unemployment but doctors are telling me I’ve got 10-14 weeks left in this pregnancy.. so stressed having twins and being unemployed, no maternity leave, no paychecks coming in, and I’ve been applying but not a single interview.. just ugh. 😭
