I think this is the typically how it goes, to some extent.
But it’s important to consider things are VERY different across the board right now due to COVID.
Attorneys could be jumping ship because they’re upset with the lack of bonus and/or the firm’s performance during the pandemic (and thus are afraid they’d eventually be let go anyway). Could also be that the market is so saturated with remote jobs/other opportunities providing better compensation that it just made sense for people to leave under the circumstances.
That sounds normal to me. Are there any other red flags aside from those two attorneys leaving for “greener” pastures? If you’re close with any of the two departing attorneys, perhaps it would be worth the time to meet with them over lunch (or whatever people are doing in the days of COVID) to discuss their reasons for leaving the firm.
For what it’s worth, I worked at a firm with an extremely high attrition rate. I was one of about a dozen associates. Over the following months, associate after associate jumped ship. After just a year of working at this firm, I was the second most senior associate. The time eventually came where I decided to leave, and I’m much happier where I’m at now.
Thanks for the reply. Honestly nothing else has been a red flag so far, I was just a bit surprised when my supervising attorney gave notice. She always seemed to genuinely enjoy working at the firm and brought in a lot of cases so I just assumed she was fine on the money end. Talking to her is probably the best approach if she is willing to discuss her reasons with me.
