I'm on a small team where another atty & myself share responsibility for assigning workflows week to week. Historically, the assigning attorney would assign matters equally among the team. Lately, the colleague will assign themselves 95% of the work during their week. This leaves me with the decision to continue to assign matters as normal (divvying up between myself and the other colleague) or take 95% of the work during my week. Feels passive-aggressive - or like chess. Mature ways to handle?

Hi! New attorney here. Licensed in January 2021.

I have a seriously hard time working all day. I went straight through, so part of it is probably just that I've never worked in an office before, but I have the hardest time getting in all my hours. Anyone else deal with that fatigue? Or figured out how to conquer it?

I'm taking a cut in salary to consider this new job but I like the company and they actually offer benefits
