If you are a counsel or salaried partner then you will have no work or if you have work then you won’t have a supporting team. Even if you have 1-2 associates they will be snatched away from you and will be put on matters run by your peers. You are not included in BD meetings, your peers get good projects and not you. Your salary will be cut because without EP feeding you work and with no BD and no team you will not meet your targets. Your salary will keep getting slashed till it reaches PA level. You will be criticised for no BD and will be constantly compared to partners who are fed work by the senior EPs. There will be lot of negative publicity about you like a proper negative PR campaign and everyone will believe that one narrative circulated by your EP/peers. They will also make sure someone is informing you about all the negative comments made about you. And then they will patiently wait for you to leave.
