Your firm has a 2200 hour REQUIREMENT? Run to the hills
A6 you need to follow this lad to the hills too!
You should look for a new job and take two weeks off before you start it
Alright just wanted to make sure I wasn’t crazy for thinking this. Thank you.
Chief
How much phone screen time do you average per day, how much sleep, and how much exercise do you get and are you vitamin d deficient?
Thank you so much!
Have you taken any time off? If at all feasible I would try and take a week to yourself to unplug. Seems like a lot of us are burned out due to covid/wfh anxiety and malaise
A week is not feasible. I’ve taken a Friday off here and there but it hasn’t felt like enough to do the trick. And when I take a day off I’m expected to make it up so it doesn’t really help. Think I’m going to follow the advice of the next comment in order to get the time I need to get healthy again. Definitely think the covid/wfh and my personal health issues has made this a more difficult time than ever for me.
In 1984, at a firm where 2,400 per year let you keep your job. Different world today. # of hours don’t matter, what is realization?? You can bill for 2200 but if client only pays 2.000 = your bottom line suffers.

And thankfully it has changed because that’s not a healthy or sustainable lifestyle for the vast majority of people. And it shouldn’t be applauded.
We don’t really have a billing requirement. We have a collection benchmark to meet. I routinely need to bill 180 to 200 hours a month to meet collections. Great thing is that I have plenty of billable work.
