After working for 3 months I’ve come to this realisation that till the time you become a Partner with a good clientele, you are easily replaceable and you stay insecure about your job all the time.
This stemmed up a question in my head regarding how did people working in law firms/chambers manage during COVID.
To all the SA’s PA’s who had kids and families to take care of and the young Associates who did not have a lot of support from their parents and were living far away from home- How did you guys manage? Were your salaries cut? Were people fired ? Did the firms even bother about your long standing relationships?
I researched on the internet but it was all hunky-dorey which I don’t feel must be the situation right? Could be possible too but would appreciate to hear the real situation of that time from lawyers who were working.
