My boss tells me I have communication issues to fix but then I can't get any more detail from them. What am I supposed to do with that?

That's really tough. Seems like they're not giving you any type of constructive feedback. Do you think the issues they're identifying are in regards to what you're working on in the day-to-day?

Sounds like they have some communication issues to fix too? Haha I wonder if you can ask someone else on your team what they think about your communication and try to get some more direct feedback.

Yeah, that's strange that they wouldn't elaborate on what they would want you to change. How many times have you tried to bring it up?

That's their way of telling you that you have a bad attitude

I'm not sure what else I did other than being respectful and not giving flip at the same time but (4) mature ladies in my office flirt with me every chance they get. Some of my M colleagues are beginning to notice and giving the prod. I must confess it comes with some perks as I do appreciate how fast they process my requests/orders which a M colleague literally told me is biased. Recently one of them offered to bring me her cooked food and asked that I do the same..(Cont'd)

Preparing to give notice to my current firm. Accepted an amazing opportunity to lateral at a more prestigious firm (better compensation, lower billables, and shorter commute).

Have you ever been told off by an older attorney of color?

I’ve worked 14+ days every day in November except yesterday when I only logged 6 hours of work (billable plus non-billable) (were required to upload our time every night now). How long should I wait after hanging up with our CFO just now who called me to tell me I’m behind and slacking to update my resume?

If you have two people who are assigned the same work and given the same resources/tools, but one person is more efficient/skilled and get their work done in 4 hours a day, would you penalize the more efficient worker for not being glued to their computer and running errands or going to the gym instead? (Say that they ask the team if anyone needs help, they are responsive to emails/ims and get all their work done).
