My boss told me that she wanted me to amend my performance documents so she could give me more credit, this could only be a good sign right?

You're right, but I love where I work and I just returned from leave to go to the hospital, I really don't want to move voluntarily but I'm scared of the fallout from these budget cuts.

OP, it doesn’t make sense unless you elaborate on the context more.

Then she’s apparently looking out for you. That is a good thing.

Just had a hearing on my motion to compel where OC told the judge we hadn’t conferred before filing the motion.

Horrible anxiety about considering a new job....
I was one of the big firm stealth layoffs in covid and joined a boutique firm in Sept. They came sort of close to matching my salary but I moved to SoCal and have an opportunity to jump back in to big law and get $100k raise. The people at the small firm are so nice, but hours are nuts and if I’m going to work this much, I might as well get paid more, right? Is it too soon? How do you tell them when the managing partner took you under his wing?

Any advice on how to deal with a partner/boss who is shifting all responsibility to me with zero guidance, no mentoring, and an unwillingness to discuss the issues? (Small firm, only associate under this partner and have been working at the firm for 2 years).
