[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would walk away.  Because that would be enough for me, but even if not, aren't you presenting a false choice here: stay in miserable $1 million job or retire now?  You have a job that pays you $1 million a year -- someone thinks your skills/knowhow are pretty valuable.  Can't you switch to a different job or work part-time or consult?  You need not assume zero income if you leave this job.  [/quote]

I hear you.  But in my case it's not a false choice.  I'm a lawyer.  I wouldn't do anything else.  Neither interested nor qualified.[/quote]

[b]Could you mentally check out/stop caring?[/b] Keep only the clients you want/give the rest away? I bet you swing this for a year before anyone even noticed. Or if you are in-house, basically phone it in for a year?[/quote]

Excellent advice.  I've already been following it for some time, in fact.  But it's very hard to mentally check out when it comes to the law, and it ultimately adds its own kind of stress.  It's also not fair to anyone.  And there eventually comes a point . . .[/quote]
