For the first time, attorneys surveyed in Bloomberg Law’s quarterly Attorney Workload and Hours survey reported experiencing burnout in their job more than half the time, and an increased number — nearly half — reported their overall well-being had declined. Those who reported a decline in well-being also reported lower job satisfaction scores. The latest version of the survey asked in-house and law firm attorneys about their job satisfaction, workload, well-being, job status and work culture in the fourth-quarter of 2021. Bloomberg has more analysis. Then watch your mailbox in coming weeks for the May/June 2022 issue of the Tennessee Bar Journal. It offers a deep dive into what legal burnout is and what you can do about it. The issue also will be online on May 2.
