Same thing just happened to me, I was working on a huge arbitration. It was just me and the partner... No one else. And I got a thank you! That's it. Not a oooooo you did fantastic and the way you prepared the binders with evidence will help us win the case!!!! My partner is an ass though and probably didn't even think anymore about just giving me a thanks.
Yep. I’ve been in both situations and if I have learned anything at this point it’s that I NEED that validation. I’m now working with the absolute nicest attorneys who are all young(er) women around the same age as me, 26-32ish, who are the best about a lot of praise and encouragement and it’s such a huge motivator for me. I’ve worked for a lot of attorneys I loved but gave very little praise and I can totally see a difference in my stress levels and happiness by just knowing where I stand and being given credit for hard work or a good job.
