Everyone uses their vacay before leaving. When you give notice, sometimes you are ushered out before you finish the sentence.
Low key, I feel that “I’d rather completely switch jobs than prepare for this next trial” energy.

That sucks, sorry to hear. I’m about to do this to one group of partners because of the behavior of another partner I rarely work for. Sorry folks.
Is he leaving because of you?

Lol he asked me if I'd go too
I had this happen to me last month. It was not fun, but I was so busy I got through it without really realizing what happened.

I have a senior trial attorney looking if you are in SoCal!
I feel for you. I know how that feels. All hands on deck. You will survive. I've started having teams audit work.

As an update, he apparently didn't realize that he actually might be in violation of ethical obligations by giving notice seven weeks before trial when he knew our other trial attorneys would be unavailable. (Litigator 1 has a trial around the same time, and Litigator 2 is the sole caretaker for his wife who has months to live and is undergoing chemo, as well as their young daughter.) When I mentioned that to him, he said that Litigator 1's trial was a week before his trial, and a week is plenty of time to prep for a case that he had no involvement in. And he said that Litigator 2 CAN do the trial, he just doesn't want it. (The one whose wife is dying.) So basically I am pretty disgusted by who he has shown himself to be as a person.
He is actually surprised that I don't see things the way he does on this. I mentioned that just a quick Google search showed that departing associates have ethical obligations to ensure no prejudice to the client when leaving. He basically asked me to do research for him and send it to him. Um what?

I wondered about the ethical implications when you first posted. I think it’s a valid question.
