I worked for a firm with a very high turnover. The firm leaders were awful - that was universally recognized. After some bad reviews on Glassdoor, management rallied their favorite employees to write glowing reviews. When you read Glassdoor reviews - it sounds like a great place to work (save a few negative reviews). How does duping potential hires help anyone?

It doesn’t, but it makes the people in charge feel like they aren’t messing it up. They feel like they have now hidden the reviews of those few “rogue” employees that were the real problem so that the “normal” people won’t be led astray by those clearly inaccurate reviews by former disgruntled attorneys. At least you know the truth. Run.

Anyone else really feeling the social isolation this weekend? It’s been almost a month since I saw another person (re-entering more stringent lockdowns where I am) and not being able to see family for the holidays is hitting hard. The break from work was much needed, but made me realize work is the most consistent contact I have with people (phone calls/chat messages during the day) and without it I somehow feel more alone. Fck this year!!!

Started at a new firm 5 months ago and I still don’t have a full workload and because of that my billing sucks. I’ve reached out to my supervising attorney, 2 partners, and even looped in someone from admin just to see if she knew if anyone needs help. I specifically say things like “can I take some work off your hands? I need more billable work” and I get a few small things but still behind on my total billables. One of the partners talked to me about my billing but I just feel stuck. Cont’d

Advice to young lawyers. Read a book.

I saw the thread about savings and many young lawyers (20s and 30s) don’t know how to open up a brokerage account or invest in their 401k. I know they don’t teach personal finance in school (though they should!), but my advice is that you should go to your local library and read a book about the subject. You have the skills necessary but you must invest in yourself. No one will look out for you.
