Pitfalls of being an in-housemo
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 30th, 2018 5:39 AM Author: infuriating plaza potus New exec team coming in. My formerly chill bossman is now hopping to like we're back in biglaw...stressed about perceptions and losing power. My jerb is still secure, but fuck being at the whims of GC. I'd rather work Biglaw hours than be an in-house cuck, especially watching this all play out. Thinking about going back to private practice.

Inhouse is made for chill fratty bros. |

Date: June 1st, 2018 1:10 PM Author: Supple place of business In-house just isn't "fratty" in the least. Some jobs are more chill than others, I suppose (but still not "chill" by most people's standards). Government is even more chill. But if you're both chill and fratty, I guess the thing to do is find a way to transition out of law to something both chill and fratty.

Date: May 30th, 2018 6:40 AM Author: bearded sienna sound barrier garrison A true inhouse masterman sees a moment like the one you’re in for what it is—an opportunity to move against your boss and take his shit for yourself. But to do it successfully you have to be able to disguise your motives and route your attack against him through third parties (your trusted allies in the department and the business that you’ve been cultivating for years). Do you have what it takes to become upper management? Chances like this one may not come around again for another decade and when they’re gone they stay gone and the execs notice and remember who was making moves and who was consumed with their own anxieties and wrapped up in fantasies of quitting to chase ambulances with their flame artist Internet “friends.” (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3989562&forum_id=2#36150320) |

Date: May 30th, 2018 7:16 AM Author: infuriating plaza potus Thanks, and you're not wrong. I just don't know if I care enough to hustle for these guys. The job was worth it with a chill environment...had an easy promotion + bonus coming. Now, with the good work environment gone, I feel like if I am going to grind it out I might as well go back to private practice and make more money working similar hours.
Problem is, I'm a little too junior in their eyes to take over for my current bossman. I'd like to think I'm not consumed with my own anxieties, I just don't see much upside trying to maek it with this new team. |

Date: May 30th, 2018 9:31 AM Author: infuriating plaza potus Luckily for what I do outcomes are better than most for making the transition back to a firm or solo.
I had a job offer at a firm on the line but they needed me before I could reasonably start/move etc. and wouldn't budge...so it slipped through. I'm back to looking. My current position is still secure, I just don't really want to stick around for it is all. |

|
Date: May 30th, 2018 11:10 AM Author: infuriating plaza potus General consensus is that it is difficult to go solo in trans. My area lends itself pretty well to going solo, though. Don't want to completely out myself, though that prob happened long ago on here...suffice to say it's more about who you know than what you know with what I do. I am lucky to have worked under some great seniors/partners who gave me access to higher level shit so I know the lay of the land.
I was beginning to make some traction before going in-house...the opportunity at my current gig just seemed too good to pass up, and it was for 9 months. I am still referring people out since I can't take their work on anymore. Will prob take me about 3 or 4 months to get back into a rhythm with clients etc to get back to at least my yearly salary...but I can't go 4 months without a paycheck at the moment (fuck you eth, come back). Would go virtual office and super lean work from home set up. All overhead would be around $10k I think, and that's generous. Fuck GC. |

And lmao at equating the bs that comes with being a boss vs being a wage cuck |

Date: June 1st, 2018 4:20 PM Author: Supple place of business When you're "a boss" you still have a boss (unless you're THE boss). Most bosses are just "wage cucks".
And no one is going to tolerate a beligerant underling. I wouldn't tolerate it, that's for sure. You just fire them and find someone else. |

Date: June 1st, 2018 1:14 PM Author: Supple place of business He wrote: "Hours are 9-6, with 2 weeks of biglaw hours every quarter."
The problem biglaw is exactly that it isn't "long hours for a few weeks", but rather the endless long hour grind that unpredictably gets worse (the 5pm call saying they need something tomorrow by noon that will take 12+ hours). Sounds like OP just means "it gets really busy and we work like 60 hours a week for a few weeks at the end of the quarter." That still sucks (and yes, absolutely happens in-house) but isn't really the same thing. |

Date: June 1st, 2018 4:25 PM Author: Supple place of business So here's how this game is played in-house. Start letting shit slip. Sorry, you couldn't get to that. Sorry bro, if you want that done in that time we're going to need more resources, either in-house or via external counsel. This isn't a law firm where there are endless new classes coming on and an endless pool of labor, so firing you means the boss will be even further behind. Don't be a dick about it, of course, but don't let your boss ruin your life either. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3989562&forum_id=2#36167273) |

Date: June 4th, 2018 9:47 AM Author: Supple place of business I once upon a time had a boss who, after someone left and I stepped up and started working 60 hours a week explicitly said: "so, if you continue to make up the difference all on your own, then what urgency do you imagine there will be in hiring a replacement for the person that left?"
