I am a service partner for a mid-sized, Eat What You Can Kill law firm. As you can imagine, I rely on my "rain making" partners for work. For the past five months, however, I've had virtually no work coming in from my partners. And I can't support my family because my compensation is tied directly to my billed hours. I have been looking at in-house positions for the past several months, but I am only getting rejections. I understand the job markey is tough right now. What should I do?

How do you guys tackle the situation where employers asks for immediate joiner.they don't even give us a chance to get evaluated technically.

But, because I work on weekends, I often will send out assignments by email with a clear indication in subject line and body that it does not need to be completed or worked on over the weekend. A friend recently mentioned this isn’t the best since seeing the assignment may create unnecessary stress and anxiety. So, what say you? Am I terrible partner?

I am lead counsel on a case - we’re suing 3 businesses and my supervisor is a named incorporator of one of the businesses although he is not an officer. He is asking me to bring the file and meet with him about the progress of the case.

I don’t see how that resolved the conflict…and he’s fully pressuring me to meet. How to respond?
