New midlevel associate at a big law firm and still ramping up. I’m having a lot of trouble tackling small or discrete tasks that are either administrative in nature or otherwise because I don’t have a full plate and something to focus on.

However what I personally feel is they just nag us until we do the job according to their spec. Just venting……anyone else feel the same?
