I’m in a tough predicament. The LA I work with works under 2 atty’s. One of which gives the LA a 10% incentive of bonus of the billable time since the LA enters it. The atty does this on their own volition. Concern is that LA got a raise last year for managing 3 atty’s, but LA only manages 2 now since one atty got pushed out. So my concern is that LA is slower towards the end of the month…should I say something to management?

Just had a hearing on my motion to compel where OC told the judge we hadn’t conferred before filing the motion. Not only did I attempt to confer on 3 separate dates, I attached the emails and his response that he refused to confer to my motion.

Constantly worried I’m going to get fired because I don’t know where I stand at my mid sized law firm (second year associate).

Mid-level associate at a mid-size regional insurance defense firm practicing coverage litigation. Salary is capped b/c my firm only does I.D./coverage and has no direct-hire comm clients.

I've never worked at another firm.
