I don’t mind busting my ass during trying times but it’s frustrating when firm mgmt does not appear to care and I am left wondering why I should kill myself to bill 2000+ when bonuses seem unlikely this year anyway (even assuming no layoffs or salary reductions).

Is it any different when things are busy, though? I mean, I have the same frustrations. But these aren’t problems that just cropped up all of a sudden. They’re just more exaggerated and obvious today because of the circumstances. Not justifying it, but I’ve resigned myself to the fact that most attorneys don’t communicate and aren’t great mentors. Well, unless someone complains about something. Then they’ll pay attention for a few minutes and tell you what they think.

Great point! Seems like it’s exacerbated by the working from home situation. The poor communication and zero mentorship and employee engagement have been a long-standing problems.

Have you asked for more transparency? More meetings? More direction? Have you offered to help set up meetings? Sounds like you have an opportunity to step up.

Second OP to some extent. I routinely volunteer for assignments when they come in but they’re typically passed on to a more senior writer and I ask to discuss/make an effort in some form or fashion and I’m usually passed off as asking why it’s necessary to discuss.
