Did you just get sold to The Advocates?

Are you based out of Utah?

I was told the Monday following Thanksgiving that I was getting let go due a merger with another firm. I have been unemployed since the end of December. I have been drawing the maximum unemployment benefit for my state, however, my 12 weeks are nearly up and I still have yet to be hired despite there being ample listings through the various job boards. I have had a handful of interviews over the past several weeks which pales in comparison to the number of places, including outside my career path, that I have applied to. I have now hit the panic phase as my UE runs out in 2 weeks.

Thats whay we are scared of but my firm doesnt say anything. They are copying all attorneys are not from the firm on emails and rumors are going around that we got sold, but nobody says anything. And we are all scared that we’re getting laid off or salaries reduced and it’s bad.
