It usually comes from your attorney very few times do things run smoothly in the legal profession..when it does it goes unnoticed..when it doesn't they look to us to blame it fix it
Thought I was the only one
attorneys are the worst people to please
YUP!!!! If it’s not one thing it’s another. I’m sorry you also feel this way. It’ll get better!
The paralegal profession is a very tough job. I think we all feel that way at times, it just comes with the territory. If you are starting a new job, is even worst, since there is a learning curve to get comfortable with the role. Keep the hope, you can do this!

No but I hate having the feeling that our team leaders are undermining me and I'm about to be let go. I have no one at the firm to discuss this with. I'm always looking for a new job because I'm going to need to be sure I have irons in the fire in case I am let go.
All of the fucking time, but I’m basically forcing myself to have imposter syndrome at this point and faking it until I make it. 😂

Sr. Litigation Para1, same here. I need to keep my income coming in so I finding myself not being genuine. I am forced to kiss ass every day and pretend to be happy and cheerful to team leaders and "play the game". I hate every single GD day working for these MF's. M&M - they are NOT for the people. Anyone in any leadership position are selfish and only for themselves. I am desperately trying to get out.
Wow, I guess I am not the only one who feels this way. This should not be normalized.
No. I know my worth. And I know my skill level. This is definitely a tough business but at the end of the day it's a job, not your life. Try prayer and enjoy your family and hobbies. When you die, this job won't anything. It shouldn't mean everything now.
Absolutely not, I stopped allowing work to deter me or affect me. I’m there for my check and to go home. Attorneys will always find an issue or problem and I no longer let it affect me or care. After 4pm when I leave, work is no longer my concern.
what's the phrase.....one f*ck up erases 1,000 atta boys/girls.
