So I just had my monthly 1:1 with my boss where I was informed that they plan

It’s only 1 more day a week. You still have 1 day off.

You should find out what the other lawyer intends to do. You'll have significant leverage if he decides to retire.

If the work is being farmed out to outside counsel, then what is the leverage?

If they both leave, then the company is in a bad spot.
HarlemCoug

What bad spot is created if outside counsel is doing the work?
BYU'01
May 21, 6:14pm
Using outside counsel for all the work will cost 2x as much.

OP’s offer: I farm out all work to outside counsel or I quit. In either case…
BYU'01
May 21, 7:21pm
If he doesn’t get to farm he and other attorney will likely leave and the company is in a really bad spot.
JamieTartt
May 21, 7:22pm
I’m only asking to farm out most of the extra 20% they want to pile on
Doctor Rosenrosen
May 21, 7:28pm
Seems like a change is past due. You don’t like your comp & they appear unhappy
BYU'01

outside counsel costs for the same work are 500% higher typically
Socrates Johnson

Which is probably why his manager wants him to do it instead of farming it to OC

Well yeah; you always win temporarily if you can beat the donkeys harder

I’m calling him tomorrow

Sounds like an interesting application of game theory

I had the same thought. A twist on the prisoners dilemma and collusion

Don’t tell him your plan, even if he says something off handed it could hurt

Companies that ask you to do that want loyalty from you but offer none in return

Don’t quiet quit. If they don’t meet your demands then quit like a man or do

Does quiet quit mean you don’t do anything at all for as long as you can

It is dishonest for the company to ask more work from someone without a pay increase.
RSL
May 21, 6:04pm
Why is it dishonest or immoral?
argus
May 21, 6:14pm
You agreed to a job description for an amount of pay. Going beyond that with no additional pay is dishonest at best.
RSL
May 21, 6:20pm
Neither.

If you don’t like your employers terms then leave. Don’t steal.
BYU'01
May 21, 6:15pm
They are "stealing" from me. Why is their sin forgiven but the employee's isn't?
RSL
May 21, 6:19pm
Not giving you large enough pay raises is not stealing
BYU'01
May 21, 7:20pm
But refusing to do 20% more work for 0% more pay is?
CommodoreCoug
May 21, 10:48pm
If you don’t like your employment expectations you can quit. I’ve asked employee
BYU'01
May 22, 4:42pm
Refusing to do more than you’ve historically done
CommodoreCoug
May 22, 8:16pm
And if the employer doesn't like it they can fire you.
RSL
May 22, 8:36pm
Sure but that’s not ‘quiet quitting’. QQ & bounced paychecks = stealing. Saying

They don't have trouble sleeping at night over it.

Get another job ASAP.
Q-grr
May 21, 6:26pm
I agree with all of that.
RSL
May 21, 6:29pm
Did his pay check bounce? If not, his employer isn’t stealing. Quiet quitting is
BYU'01
May 21, 8:04pm
It seems the company is being upfront about the situation
The Dark Knight
May 21, 6:29pm
That's a fair point. Probably changes things for me a bit.
RSL
May 21, 6:31pm
Dishonest to ask somebody to work harder? Thats a new one. Wow

From the OP:
RSL
May 21, 6:48pm
Saw that. That doesn’t mean he might not be 20 less productive than he could
BYUfan92
May 21, 6:53pm
Why immediately take the corporate side here and assume he is/was 20% less effective?
RSL
May 21, 7:02pm
If you reread what I wrote I did say NOT say that. I said there could myriad

Tell them you'll do it for 50% of the salary of the guy they just fired and you're still going to farm out a lot of it.
