I think the problem's mutual. The board agreed that a couple partners (who were previously at least 40% of my workload) haven't been delegating as much work as they should for a variety of reasons.

That said, I too could have done more to get work. I'd get a shitty assignment, do it, but then not follow up on that a month down the road when the litigation had proceeded. Not that that always guarantees work, but that's definitely a work stream that I've passed up.

As I think about this out loud, I'm starting to realize that I don't want to do another year of *this.* I was brought on to do labor & employment work and I'm going to start getting it, or I'm out.

Lol, you got awfully specific here. Not sure I'd be posting this online for anyone to read, but to each his own.
