Date: August 22nd, 2017 2:02 PM Author: insecure narrow-minded pit law firms are kind of unique in the modern white collar world, in that they don't cram a lot of Rah-Rah Go Team! crap down your throat. This chick I know works for a company with a stuffed animal mascot that "travels" from department to department every month. When it's you're month your department all takes a picture with the stuffed animal and - not flame - writes a paragraph about what XYZCorp means to you. (The animal's name is XYZie of course).

I think most people in law firms are pretty blunt about how much the job sucks and they are just doing it for the money. Even rainmaker partners.

Date: August 22nd, 2017 2:24 PM Author: insecure narrow-minded pit The attitude is very much, you're a professional, we expect you to act like professionals and deal with it. Lawyers are self-driven workaholics so it works.
If you tried that in 98% of office situations it would be chaos.

Date: August 22nd, 2017 2:16 PM Author: Onyx swollen masturbator lodge Realizing work is flame has been very liberating for me. I used to wonder why I could get away with slacking sometimes and not others, and think my supervisors were, with few exceptions, supersmart workaholics. Now that I understand that they're all as mediocre and depressed as me and have basically developed different strategies to fake it with their peers and supervisors, it allows me to be a lot less anxious minute to minute and day to day at work. It's also hilarious to realize that this is how normal people think of work, and only aspie lawyers think they're "rigorous scholars" who earn every penny they make with the force of their intellects.
