[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am OP. The year closed and the hours are still in limbo because the partner never opened a matter. Without the hours I don’t make my annual hours target. Missing hours means missing bonus.

I have talked to the partner about it a bunch of times and he always says he’ll open a matter, but never does. Other than finding a new job, what should I do?[/quote]

I'm so lucky. I was in a medium sized firm for about 8 years.  This happened every now and then, but I have a very open and honest relationship with the partner I worked for most.  He would never do this to me, but others would.  When the hours/receipts reports came out I would go over and say "hey I have 20 hours in temp time for partner X, its been there for six months, not sure what's going on but its making me look bad."

it would be fixed within a week.  I'm lucky i had that kind of relationship.  Beyond that, you maybe have lost this time forever and need to just get over it because its clear the partner does not want to fix it. [/quote]
