I filled out the complaint forms with the Dept. of Consumer Affairs AND the agency MD even gave them the runaround. It wasn't until I filed w turbocourt.com, and got a court date that they Express mailed me a check. The MD was a total dick about it the whole time (throughout my weekly check-in emails about payment). A total goomba. It was like a bad movie (the excuses). Rewind to actually working on the project and the account guy and the "creative director" were both shady, condescending and just really bad at their jobs. It's probably not even a real agency. Live and learn.

Why do firms fire people with low but still profitable hours? I am in my first full year on track for pretty low hours (~1500) but the actual realized fees (after writedowns) are still double my yearly salary. Is it because firms know they could replace someone like me with an equivalent attorney who would bill more?

Is my manager forcing me out?

I prepped the doc accordingly, but instead of wanting to discuss it, he said I have 4 weeks to “turn things around” - without giving any new info on what I’ve done wrong - esp given I wrote my goals based on this same feedback from last week??
