Need to tell my building this week if I’m renewing my lease. My firm currently has a target date of returning to the office early fall. Anyone else hear anything about return dates? I don’t want to renew and waste money if we’re not actually going back until next year, but also don’t want to leave to just have to come back in 2 months.

Same here. We're open on a voluntary basis now, but we're not expecting to fully reopen until 2021. I've heard one partner is planning to go in for a half day to handle accumulated paperwork. So... I'm thinking the office will remain empty until 2021.

My firm has already opened office for people who want to come in, but is not officially “returning to the office” until winter 2020/2021.

When do partners decide when an associate is good enough to make partner? I’m a senior and it is extremely clear to me when an associate has it or doesn’t, and moreover it doesn’t take eight years to figure it out; it takes just one or two matters for me to know if they’re adding value or are ultimately just a commodity. It’s hard for me to avoid the conclusion that associates are largely being strung along by partners who are going to can them at some point, long after that decision is made.

Most likely getting fired, tips on how to find a job ASAP?

It’s fixable and the client isn’t really getting hurt by this (worst case signing gets delayed), but my anxiety is telling me to prepare for the worst. Can I ask for extra time at the firm to find a new job (so I wasn’t “fired”)? Or should I go for severance?
