Struggling to get work/stay busy

Joined the firm last year as a lateral. Hours super low, but reviews have been either totally positive or positive with a “work on these areas. Would work with you again” type response.

This year, despite my asking partners for work, I keep getting told they don’t have anything while other midlevels in my group stay super busy. I have SOME work, but not enough to come close to reaching my billable target. Extremely concerned about keeping my job. Thoughts?
