I work for a corporation and one of the divisions was in need of hiring a new customer service employee. Instead of posting an open position and letting people apply for it, the CEO of the other division told me he wanted X person from my team. I voiced my opinion on how that should be handled to the CEO of the other division and my division, but they still ended up “poaching” the member from my team. Is this normal? Red flag? I’m pretty frustrated about it, but am I overreacting?

We share talent all the time. My salary and hourly team members are often taken as I produce high quality leaders. Take a deep breath and focus on the new member that will now be coming to your team. You’ll be okay.

That’s where I’m at right now, trying to decide if this is the right place for me anymore. There’s even more that I didn’t go into that’s causing me to think this way. I think deep down I know what the answer is but I’ve been there 15 years and I’m having a really tough time facing the hard truth. 😕

They should be posting all open roles as a matter of fairness, but it doesn't sound like that's even what you're mad about. Leaders "poaching" employees from internal teams to fill other roles they think they'd be a good/better fit for is quite normal, as is CEOs overuling opinions of subordinates.

It really feels like "I just finished training them" frustration is the primary issue here and I'm sure that came through when you made your case to the CEOs too. You can't help voicing this idea that something has been wrongly taken from you personally, even when you start trying to come at it from another angle.

Yet again I’m watching a client fuck up a nice spot so bad I can’t put it in my reel. Absolutely disheartening.

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?

A few young partners and counsel at my firm were discussing the student loan moratorium and most of us were convinced we could have paid the majority of our loans off with the bonuses associates got these last two years. But we are all old and when we graduated 150k to 200k was about the max student loan debt people graduated with. So educate me. What is the average student loan debt these days?
