A WTF moment yesterday….

Coworker from my old firm called about a personal thing-boss then gets on the line and asks if I ordered things with their credit card, specifically CBD products… um what are y’all doing over there? I’ve been gone for months and you are just now feeling the need to ask OR a charge just happened and you think it was me? What?
Y’all are obsessed with me…9

OMG…I had a similar moment like that myself! Left the firm 3 YEARS AGO…and my boss filters hate through former co-workers (whom now are my personal friends, maybe)

A small piece of advice…when you speak to your friends set the boundaries of NO SHOP TALK AT ALL! That’s what I did…those who truly want want to be your friend will be and the others will reveal themselves…then act accordingly….good luck

Oh man. I feel what you’re saying. I just changed my privacy settings on social media (I wanted to be internet famous) and I’m contemplating removing this coworker from my pages.
It was obviously a set up call and you guys still have my name in your mouth…if you miss me just text me and ask me out for lunch sheesh

I started working for a new law firm, much larger than the firm I was working for previously. The main attorney that I work under had noticed some mistakes I was making (I am a NY paralegal who took this position with the understanding that they’d be teaching me NJ and NYC real estate). Anyways, the attorney decided to tell the HR manager about the mistakes I had been making. Rather than HR discussing with me, the manager told my dramatic coworker to tell me..how should I handle this? Very hurt!

I did it! I got an in-house Paralegal position after years of working and being burned out at different law firms. I was going to leave the legal field all together because I was so burned out and depressed, but I decided to give the field one more chance if I was able to go in-house. Prayerfully, this transition will be a good one.
