I am absolutely miserable in my current firm. I’m a fully barred attorney in another state, and in the federal district where my firm sits. I work on a myriad of cases, but this firm sees me as a legal assistant because I don’t have a state license for this state. We stayed in this state because my wife and son are thriving here, and our extended family is here. I’m berated almost daily, and my office manager loves to threaten to fire me publicly, where every other colleague can hear. Help!

What do you do when you feel the goalpost has been/is being moved re: billable requirements? Like there's a spoken vs unspoken? I chose this job based on billables vs salary and what I'm being told I'm expected to do now is 20-30% (at least) > than what was initially agreed upon. Given my other life responsibilities, this is creating a huge strain & I feel like this is slowly getting harder & harder on my spouse & kids.
