Should I fire one of my shitlaw associates?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: April 6th, 2026 7:39 PM Author: Lake Digit Ratio Her job is "intake," which basically means sales. She is one of the attorneys who talks to the teeming mass of humanity that contacts my shitlaw firm daily, and tries to convince them to pay us money.
She has been doing the job for a couple of months now. I hired her after another chick who was covering her sales territory quit. Previous chick did very well incidentally.
Anyway, she has never really taken off. Has had like one good week in her time in the job, usually is about 30-50% below the sales of her predecessor. Is also defensive and resistant to coaching. I have spent a lot of time sitting with her on calls. She works hard and says the right things, but it's just not clicking. Should I fire her? If not, how do I get her on track? |

Date: April 6th, 2026 8:33 PM Author: Lake Digit Ratio She's already paid purely on commission. She doesn't sell, she doesn't eat. So I'm not paying her a bunch of money, but I'm missing out on sales leads that I'm spending a lot of money to generate. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5854320&forum_id=2 |

Date: April 6th, 2026 8:43 PM Author: Cocky site affirmative action My take is that if she works hard you should keep her. Hire someone else and slowly transition her out of this role. A hard worker is hard to find these days and she probably could do another job better. If it still doesn’t work out you can just say, “hey I tried you in two different roles and it wasn’t a fit.” Makes you seem less capricious, especially if she were to find this thread.
