“I’m a mid-level associate in the employment department at a largish City firm and I’ve just found out that the firm is planning to hire a partner that I worked with just after qualifying at another firm.
“The problem is this partner is useless. Though he seems quite smooth on first impressions, he is a pain to work with and, from what I could tell, seemed to have largely based his practice on just one major client. I can’t imagine that he’ll fit in well at my firm or bring in much business and I’m dreading the thought of working with him.
