I’m in house l&e for my company for several years. My whole job is advice and counsel. My new manager (not l&e) is asking the team to give a weekly update of our current projects. I don’t really have any projects as my entire job is responding to emails and taking meetings. So now I am being asked to write down every time I have a meeting or respond to an email and summarize what they’re about. Just wondering if this is typical at other companies bc I’m uncomfortable with this.

Following as I am in the same situation - new manager knows nothing about L&E and wants “status updates” on what I’m working on

My new manager also is not including me in certain employment law related meetings with people who they perceive to be “higher ups” even though I’ve been advising these same “higher ups” for the past 5 years. Recently a termination went through for an employee with a prima facie case. I am so frustrated.

At my last firm I did a lot of advice and counsel L&E for one client and C-suite wanted a weekly status update. Instead of summarizing emails/tasks completed, I would group the status update into buckets, either themes or specific stakeholders. So I might do buckets (ie “project status”) of settlement negotiations, wage and hour issues, leave issues. And then I would include an overview of issues that came up on those areas and how I addressed it. I’d also try and make sure I could include when I developed a system or set up a stakeholder to handle the issue on their own in the future. Anywhere I saved the company money or set up a system for a recurring issue I would mention that.
