What to do if you recently got word that you will be managing work streams in a function and client you have no interest in for another year? Don't want to ruin relationships but I can't stand this.

Figure out if you care to be partner at your current firm; if not, start interviewing. If you're an SA and under 30 yrs old, each year is too valuable to not spend building the exact skill set foundation you need to jump into the longer term role you want in the future. Higher level alone doesn't mean your experience will align with the specific experiences your dream exit looks for

Yeah, that's what I have thought A1. I don't want to build skills in a field I don't ultimately want to be in. I feel like I have a myopic view of the industry having been on one client for so long.

So stuck. What do I do? I joined this firm a year ago (4 yrs exp total) to grow/get more court/client exposure. Then 2 more-experienced associates were hired, pandemic, & all cases are divided between the other 2. I have no defined tasks except deficiency letters or the odd pro bono case. Boss claims it's mentoring. I still need to meet bill req.

Last wk Boss said I'll do more & my work was good, but today said I can't 2nd chair bc I don't have experience. I'm doing less now than my prior firm.

My step in laws are TERRIBLE. Not directly to me but family dynamic is stressful. They parent their youngest kid with pills and ignoring him, so that he does inappropriate things around me with zero correction (walking in on me, insulting me). They are all half siblings (4 boys 30-11) so they all don’t care including my partner. FIL also verbally abuses MIL in front of us. Yet they all want to please him constantly. It’s just bad.
