She belittles her 2 other partners in firm wide meetings, tells someone that 100 hours of research is "sketchy" work, clearly has her pets in the office who smoke and drink to excess with her on weekends and fawn all over her. She has no other life than work and expects the same 24/7 dedication from everyone else. She caters to her few while the rest of the staff do the work and get "put down" or totally ignored for the work they have done. The managing partner is wonderful but also caters to her every whim. I plan of moving on soon but feel bad for co-workers who can't see themselves elsewhere at this time. What can I do to help them?

You can't save your co-workers from themselves. They'll either make the move and leave this oppressive situation, or they'll just go through the motions as they're doing now. The senior partner has absolutely nothing to lose and will continue her "slash and burn" tactics. Just be very happy you won't have to watch any longer.

Once you have found a new job, you recommend the best of your co-workers for employment as well. You pass along job leads and invite them to meetings of the professional groups to which you belong.
You can't force people to leave a difficult situation, but you can hold out a hand that they can grab to pull themselves up.
Good luck.

the relax relatives is amazingly significant. some people experience that they won't be coated in issues after a companion dies. There are communities for coping with the style of loss, yet maximum seniors would not attempt that. in the event that they are non secular, this is a convenience to them. in the event that they have been in touch with community activities, they have probably made associates there.

You can't do anything for them, you have no obligation to help them, and you can hurt yourself trying to help them.
It sounds like a really bad environment, and if they don't see it, why spoil their happiness? If they do see it, they have to decide whether they can do better or not for themselves. If you try to convince them they should go, you're going to risk the wrath of the bosses with no possible gain to yourself, and risk the employees becoming defensive about their own decision and wind up staying even longer.
They will leave when they are ready and not before.

They need to deal with this themselves. You're not their mother.
The best thing you can do is be a good example by leaving for better job in a better environment and keeping them as part of your network so that you can refer them when you become aware of job opportunities.

Easy: tell them you are bailing, and why, and tell them that they should do the same . . . unless they're masochistic.
