How much notice are you giving when you quit? Are people still just doing 2 weeks? For reference, I’m pretty unhappy where I’m at but do not have another position lined up - considering quitting now and opening my own firm in a few months. Firm also has trial 1st week of March that I’m 2nd chair on. I’m apprehensive to quit before then because I feel it will definitely burn bridges. But, I also can’t imagine staying that long. My boss is an absolute lunatic when he is in trial too.

Is there the possibility of settling prior to trial ??
Think about it , if they were going to fire you, they wouldn’t give you 2 weeks.
If you feel like you can’t handle it, start looking for jobs now and then quit. Give 2 weeks or however long you think it’s appropriate but don’t feel bad if it’s not 2 weeks.

Right now, it’s a zero offer case. And thanks for your input! They definitely would not give me any notice if they fired me. Fortunately for me, they need me more than I need them right now.

2 weeks is still standard, no matter how or when you leave you’ll probably be burning the bridge. Id give notice and wrap your files up professionally, it’s on them to staff their files (or keep their people happy in the first place). If you’re opening your own shop, I work as outside General Counsel to solo and small law firms, feel free to DM me if you’d like to chat!

I sometimes think about the same thing and then realize people have quit and been fired forever, and they all have turned out fine. Screw your boss if he wants to be petty and immature and “burn the bridge” if you quit. That speaks more volume about him then about you. At the end of the day, you have to do what’s best for you and your loved ones. So consider quitting imo

Haha definitely easier said than done!

I wouldn’t feel bad or stay because of the trial date. I would give them two weeks notice which is more than enough.

Haha fair enough! They get what they dish out. Sorry you’re going through it.

I mean at the end of the day you don't owe your job anything. I think that giving two weeks notice is more than sufficient but that is just me.

I'm at an early stage tech start up and gaining experience in an industry that I like. However, I am getting no formal training or sales coaching. Everything I've done so far (Inc. Targeted marketing and prospecting) has been self taught and I feel like I am lacking professional knowledge if I was to move onto a different company, especially considering that I am not involved in the full sales cycle.

I currently work at a small PI firm in Atlanta were EVERYTHING is settled presuit. If we’re unable to settle, then it’s referred to another firm for litigation.

The attorney briefly skims (does NOT read) the demand packages and signs. Is this ethical?? Anyone else work at a firm that is run this way??
