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? |

When the partner recognizes you're swamped, he'll seek out a #3 guy for spot help here and there. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2286935&forum_id=2#23433017) |

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. |

Date: June 19th, 2013 9:54 PM Author: Talented alcoholic dopamine 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.
