I'm at a firm and I'm scared I am going to be fired because:
1. a partner told me my drafting is behind where it should be
2. a found a copy of an associate's resume within one year of mine in 2 partners offices and we arn't that busy
3. low billables
4. general sense
Question is, is there anything i can do about it other than prepare for next job (i.e. polish resume, apply etc.). Like should i go to a partner and tell them i'm dedicated to improving or something along the lines, before the nail is in the coffin (assuming it already isnt?)
any advice is appreciated.
Thanks

Re: Worried about fired, speak preemptively to partners?
You’re looking at this the wrong way. You shouldn’t be salvaging this job. You should be looking for another NOW.
#1 is the most concerning sign. Unless you’re a first year, that’s never a good thing to hear.
