My firm has had a horrible turnover rate since I’ve joined. It’s a great place to work but the hiring process is not working as it should. I know hiring and turnover is not my problem as an associate, but it’s beginning to impact my workload. People leave and I have to step in and pick up the slack. Is there any way to address this with management or should I just keep quiet?

If there’s high turnover, something is working and you can bet morale is not where it should be among staff. Look for a less toxic work place. It’s not the place for you.

As I said, it is not the firm. It’s a hiring process issue. I do not want to leave.

A firm with a high turnover is generally not a great place to work. Hence the turnover. I would leave. Or at least ask for a paralegal or junior attorney to help with work

I’ve been at really toxic firms and this isn’t it. I’m happy so I would prefer not to leave. Asking for a more junior attorney is a great idea though thank you.

Might be okay for you right now, but high turnover rate is usually very telling of how others are being treated or what their experience is. I worked at a place where everything seemed great and I couldn't understand the turnover either. Until I became the scape goat for the managing partner. I left. Many others followed once they were in the crosshairs.

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago.

Layoffs. Most big firms say they're sitting on a conservative pile of cash - which I believe is true - but work will obviously not return to pre-COVID levels in the short term, probably not even in the medium term. Are Biglaw layoffs coming?
