12 years as SOLO, going in to start a JOB with a BOSS tomorrow.

Referral source has been sending me tons of business as a solo, such that they became something like 80% of my income.
They eventually wised up and said, why don't you just come in-house and do all our business?
Makes sense for them, because they can pay me less per matter. Makes sense for me, somewhat, because now I get every matter from them, instead of them doling it out among a group of lawyers.
And its a vote of confidence, I suppose, because they could have picked anyone.
But the dagger behind the offer was that if I said no, someone else will say yes, and I effectively lose all their referrals forever. So I really had no choice, unless I wanted to start from scratch without their cases.
The cultural buttfucking of joining a company, however, is severe. I have been instructed on how to sign up for about 8 different softwares (Jingo for team goals, Jango for team messages, Bubbles for quarterly progress charts, Tribble for client files, Drobble for....), and two HR shrews held a virtual meeting with me to explain, over 45 minutes, that they would be sending me a link to Bamboozle, a software that contains "training videos" I need to watch and mark completed.
I clicked on a few and they remind viewers to "take ownership" and also "be part of a team".
There are like 30 hours of videos.
Fma, as a solo you forget how much of "work life" is total and complete bullshit. I have not spent more than 5 minutes over the last decade doing ANYTHING that wasn't directly related to a client outcome. FMA |

Also, stuff about cultural acceptance and balh blah blah. That should be about 23 hours worth if you turn off sound, fast forward and challenge each chapters 'quiz' which you have to complete with 80% correct or you cant go on to the next "diveristy is ARE strength' chapter modual presentation. And remember: this all has to be 'refreshed' every 6 months so you dont forget to not use n-word and be mean. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5763457&forum_id=2Reputation#49192853) |

I’m half tempted to go in there like DOGE and tell him, “Listen you chose me because I get great outcomes for the clients. I do so because for nearly 15 years as a solo, I learned the absolute most efficient way to get results with zero side masturbation. So, fire everyone. Fire the women first. You can keep all the profits, just keep me at my current rate.”
I would be saving the guy millions of dollars every year. Of course I won’t, and if I did he would be deaf to it. People love their little “companies” |

if you're the only lawyer the place must be small enough that there won't be a ton of retarded corporate world shit. and owner being your official boss doesn't seem materially different than him being an essential client. |

That being said, see if you can maneuver to take over from the current owner when he retires or something like that. |

Date: August 17th, 2025 8:56 PM Author: sealclubber yeah, being a "solo" but being 80% dependent on one client is not really being a solo. at my firm, we have big clients, but nothing like this. not for any of us. i could actually be fine with it, but it would be something all, not most, of us would need to agree to (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5763457&forum_id=2Reputation#49193079) |
