Date: March 7th, 2010 8:18 AM Author: navy vivacious pit psychic I feel like it's just me and the morale of the others is actually pretty high (so I'm not bitching/complaining and thereby making it worse for everyone else), but I've already had some conflicts with a midlevel associate whom I work with all the time, so i makes me dread going in everyday, especially knowing she's talking shit about me to everyone else.

Date: March 7th, 2010 8:22 AM Author: navy vivacious pit psychic midlevel who I get a lot of work from always makes subtle, snide comments about me (in an almost personal way) - this was before the recent incident. i fucked something up (not that huge) a few days ago, they yelled at me, and now I'm not getting responses to e-mails which are work-related, and they haven't communicated with me at work really either.

Date: March 7th, 2010 8:24 AM Author: navy vivacious pit psychic At my level, there is very very little possibility I could not work heavily with them if I am doing real work in my section. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1243530&forum_id=2#14320199) |

Date: March 7th, 2010 8:28 AM Author: navy vivacious pit psychic dunno man, this is my first "real" job and I'm sure every job has its bullshit office politics. still, BIGLAW does seem particularly toxic. I've done some public interest legal work before - nothing at ALL like this because it was 9-5 and people weren't freaked out constantly by 500-million dollar deals.

Date: March 7th, 2010 9:15 AM Author: Cheese-eating affirmative action I have one of these, too. I don't hate going to work because I am only on one project with this guy, but he keeps sending me these really snide emails about how to do shit. Makes me wonder whether he's forgetten about not knowing how to do anything and having to ask stupid questions as a first year, or whether he just resents having to hand over some of his billable hours to someone else.

Date: March 7th, 2010 9:17 AM Author: medicated dilemma a lot of you are starting in environments with low morale. lathamings have made people pretty unhappy. survivors at some firms will tell you that the place is completely different afterwards.
probably depends on the extent of the lathaming and how it was handled by the firm. |

Date: March 7th, 2010 9:16 AM Author: medicated dilemma hope the miglevel gets lathamed.
fear of midlevel lathaming may be a reason he/she/it is snapping so much.
anyway for you to get on the good side of the partner above this person? |

Date: March 7th, 2010 9:35 AM Author: navy vivacious pit psychic Yes, I work with him sometimes, but he seems to be completely cold and I'm unable to reach him. I don't even know what his damn interests are, he never talks sports or anything. I do work for him and his feedback is very neutral. But he keeps giving me stuff so it can't be bad...
