Anyone else have a partner who plays the “woah is me” card? I’m so busy, I do everything, no one understands. Especially when dumping something huge on you that you had NO involvement in whatsoever and says - oh yeah the trial brief is due June 30? LIVID. Rant over

Yeah, that wouldn't fly with me. Did you push back? it's called Partnership for a reason. If they're dumping all their stuff on you (and at the last minute, to boot), then they're not living up to their title.

I am constantly saving videos I find on facebook and youtube about how to professionally respond to unprofessional and hostile behavior

Sounds like a big headache for a partner. Hope he's not your senior cause that would really be toxic. Anyway, it's always hard to say no but you have to do it sometimes buddy.
