Do some research for a trial in 2 wks.

Just me (assoc) and the partner on the case. I'm obv swamped w a myriad of doc stuff. But partner didn't even tell me he was going to ask the other assoc to complete the research tasks.

Should I be worried? Concerned?

Probably not. At my firm this is how it works. It's the partner's case and the #2 guy is there to pick up the slack until he's overloaded. When the partner recognizes you're swamped, he'll seek out a #3 guy for spot help here and there.

This research is something he asked me to complete by this past Monday.

Oh. Well fuck man. It's not good. Have you communicated with him about why you're late?

lol @ u thinking the partner respects you as an equal to whom he should disclose administrative details.

No you shouldn't be worried--this happens all the time. But you should be concerned about your ability to command respect in the workplace.

I didn't read that post until after I posted. If he gave you an assignment and you were late completing it, and he asked for someone else to take it over, yeah I'd be a little concerned. You should probably try to talk to him about it.

It depends. He could have forgotten he already asked you to do it.
