It does mean vacation to the bench, which is theoretically nice. More concerned about utilization since I have a few trip planned this year and not a lot of wiggle room in terms of utilization

Happened to me! What a great surprise to come back to 🙄

Happened to me twice... So annoying

Wait why is it bad? Doesn't it just mean you go from vacation to bench? Unless the concern is with utilization..

Happened last year except budget ran out while on vacation and 3 of my team members all senior to me got rolled off and all their work got unloaded on to me with no KT

Was it truly budget related or did the absence prompt realization they didn't need an additional resource

I was initially concerned that it was something unrelated, however they asked if I was willing to work for no hours because work still needed to be done. We were only supposed to go through end of June, so it's only 2 weeks, but still unfortunate

Sooo you went from the beach...to...the....beach...🤔

Hello fishes 🐠🐋🐟,

Please help me out here.... Your input will be really great.

I have herd that currently most of the companies are in hiring freeze. (Holiday season, recession or layoffs).

I am trying to apply job for many companies since last month, and i haven't got any response from any of them.

Are there any Organizations still out there who are hiring/open for referral and are in position to handle recession.

Please comment your thoughts. It might make someone's day.

Thanks.

Took my first vacation (1 week) in over a year to visit family. Was bombarded by emails from one partner asking me to complete non-time sensitive motions, which he hasn’t even bothered to review. This is my third firm in three years (first I left as I was severely underpaid, second I left for a 100k increase in salary), but this lack of respect for my boundaries has made me want to move again once I’ve completed 18 mos. Bad? They don’t do this to the other associates (all male).

My company historically paid base comp and bonus based on years out of law school. Level 1 is 1-9, and Level 2 is 10+. Diff if $50k+, easily. My team’s work isn’t distributed any differently based on seniority, and we’re all doing the same subject matter. We have a new GC changing it so bonus can be higher (but not lower) if you take on more work.

Do you think this is a fair system? Is it right to push for equal comp, especially given that there’s a new reward system for doing more work?
