HR often involves handling sensitive or difficult conversations. How do you prepare for these discussions, and what techniques do you use to ensure outcomes are fair, constructive, and respectful?

I prepare by slowing myself down first. I ground myself in facts, intent, and fairness, then focus on listening more than speaking. Respectful outcomes usually come from clarity and empathy, not perfect wording.

That’s very true, thank you for sharing that😊

When should a stub start getting worried about not having much work and low billable hours?
I’ve asked for work but no luck. I know they say this is normal for a stub but when should I start getting worried and consider looking for exit options? Fyi, I like my practice group, so I don’t want to change to a different group within my firm, hence would have to lateral, if I have to. Also, other co-1st years are churning in high hours.
