You better have been a really good manager and done all their work for them 😆

As in dead belly up or financially belly up? If the latter, this is one of the times it'd be preferable to be a non-equity partner, if you ask me.

I don’t think this is funny OP and whether they showed it or not , I’m sure someone was offended.

Can’t win them all, but there are studies that people who find humor in bad situations fare better (improved immunity, health, mental state, concentration, etc.)...and building in risk mitigation strategies is essential to keeping the world moving forward

Faster promos 💁‍♀️😂

I am not going to pretend like that didn’t go through my mind. On the other hand, would we be good at our jobs if we weren’t eager to excel? (No pun intended)

In all seriousness, I would hope the firm would have a succession plan in place. That would be shockingly bad business if there wasn't one, even if it's not a fully fleshed out plan or one that's scaled for potentially substantial numbers of partners going the way of the dodo bird.

That’s a negative (at least it was yesterday and keeping in mind the topic is on project specific succession, not firmwide succession). “Oh yeah, we didn’t even think about that. Hopefully that doesn’t happen” 🤦🏻‍♀️

There’s always a succession plan. Sometimes it’s lord of the flies style, but always a way forward
