V20 NY, firm expectation is to bill 2K-2.4K a year. What happens if I bill 1800? How long until I get fired?

I can handle getting a talking to, or even getting berated. But when will real repercussions happen?

Fwiw, I’m a first year.

You're making them plenty of money at 1800. I wouldn't worry.

Whatever firm you’re at with a 2.4k expectation leave immediately

Honestly would like to switch firms. I’m just 2 months in and don’t know if I can plausibly do that without interviewing firms hearing “I couldn’t handle working for 2 months”

Every firm is different, but I’d be surprised if there are any real consequences

You probably won’t get bonus

I mean, sure, “might” — but I’m asking about actual likelihoods. I’ve never heard of someone being fired within the first 15 months for under billing a hush-hush requirement

This is a tough environment. Depends on your group size, staffing model, etc., but it's hard to hide when things are lean. That is to say, this isn't necessarily up to you, bar taking leave.

I mean, the group is lean. Everyone’s working a bunch. If I just don’t work more than 1800 a year, I don’t see what they could do about it beyond firing / bonus. If they’re unwilling to fire, then I don’t see what real recourse there is

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline?

Coming up on one full year at an ID firm. Feeling overwhelmed with my experience so far. I’ve received minimal training/feedback unless it was on something I messed up. It feels like the expectations don’t align with my level of experience. I have a case load of 45-55 with very little oversight or involvement from partners. Turnover is extremely high, as I’m the second longest tenured associate in the office. Looking for some guidance on whether this is the norm or not. Compensation is low 80’s.
