Multiple unstaffed people who aren’t answering to emails I send out about staffing. I know who I’ll be recommending be laid off if it ever comes to that .... (no lay offs I know of, just sayin)

OP you’re taking this personally and then trying to pay them back on a personal level. This type of attitude won’t get you far. Try to step outside your narrowed vision and think what’s causing them to not answer your emails. It could be something else. They might be waiting to hear back from another project that they’re excited about. Consulting is a lot about building a personal brand (yeah I know, we all hate that talk but it’s true). If you’ve come to a point in your career where people don’t want to work with you then you need to think long and hard about how you’re coming across. Try to get over your own blind spots because we’re rated on utilization hours and if people prefer to no utilization hours (self harm) than work with you on a project, you haven’t been paying enough attention. I’m saying this because I really do believe that if you did some self assessment you might be able to course correct and become a person that people on the bench will proactively ask to get staffed on your projects. Self awareness, that is all

OP like others have said, maybe nobody wants to join your project. Maybe it has a terrible reputation. Maybe you're notorious for having extreme expectations. Maybe the project management extends people until they quit. I wouldn't blame people for not wanting to join a project they'll inevitably quit. I know an Accenture project just like that

D3 - no doubt you are right. But I’ve had a shitty week and I really just came here to commiserate about how annoying it is that people don’t respond to emails. Apparently it’s not that annoying to everyone. Instead, my takeaway will be, when I have a shitty week, I should just not respond to emails and that’s okay! If it causes me to get laid off because I didn’t get staffed or didn’t answer a key question, then people on FB will be falling all over themselves to hire me into their practice at their firm.

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious?

But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.

Cons:

- they will openly discuss at a meeting why you suck

- Reed Hastings' leadership style was once described as being "unencumbered by emotion". A VP once told him he's not a good listener and tends to be unempathetic.

Is it the smart move to take a pay cut and clerk for a judge?

Little context: I was an ED student, full time paralegal/clerk throughout my law school experience, and a single mother. I did not take advantage of the law school extracurriculars and missed out on clerk application deadlines my final year (2020). Would it benefit me to take a pay cut as a transactional clerk by about $20k to work as a clerk for a year then re-enter firm life? I’m transactional and enjoy that line of work.
