My boss is bringing in another attorney who does the same work as me to our company. It is slow as is. I am concerned about what I will have to work on when he does this. It is a stable company, so I am not worried about job stability. Should I just make known my concerns that work volume is low, so why are they hiring someone else? I don’t want to lateral. I like the people despite there not being much work to do. Please let me know your thoughts on how I should approach this.

Is it the exact same work? Who’s more senior? Maybe someone is leaving and you don’t know yet?

Possibly, I just can’t imagine the company growing at a rate that would necessitate two people doing what I do. But, that is a good point.

Personally, I would use this to your advantage and hand off the more junior tasks that are taking up your time (and other things you’re less interested in) so you can get more interesting work.

This is a good point. I guess my ability to do this will depend on who is hired and their personality.

Perhaps the new hire is looking to get different experience/transition to supporting a new internal client?

No. Unfortunately, this is not the case.

Update. I scheduled a meeting to talk to my boss. I’m just going to tell him my concerns and hope he weighs it in his decision making. Thank you all for your advice.

So, I met with my boss. He said that he felt there was a need to duplicate my role because of the hours that he was working, and he needed to do a better job delegating to me.

Then, we had our weekly legal meeting, and the GC puts up this chart comparing our legal department with a peers much larger legal department. But, his friend’s company is way bigger than ours. I legit would need to start a side hustle or volunteer if he gets the budget and makes our department that big. I wouldn’t have anything to do.

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!
