About this episode
What happens when the law firm you joined turns out to be nothing like the one they sold you on?
In this episode of Firm Factor, John and Carolyn respond to real questions from attorneys dealing with burnout, vague feedback, poor management, impossible expectations, and toxic workplace dynamics.
They break down the difference between working hard and being set up to fail, why unclear leadership creates chaos inside firms, and how young attorneys can protect themselves while still growing in their careers.
From “high stakes assignments with little guidance” to partners shifting blame and performance reviews that come out of nowhere, this episode dives into the interpersonal and structural problems that quietly drive people out of the legal industry.
Sometimes the issue isn’t you. Sometimes it’s the culture.
