Has anyone dealt with a lack of praise from attorneys? I'm not someone who needs to hear "good job" all the time, but we just got a huge deal closed that I worked really hard on and had a lot of overtime. And once it closed, the lead attorney praised the other attorneys, and said nothing about me or my work. I might just be overly sensitive, but it kind of stung. Thoughts?

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.

I am a paralegal interested in making the jump from litigation to Worker's Compensation. I don't have recent experience in WC but recall it was a lot of form work. Any Worker's Compensation experts here that can offer an opinion (is it a heavy lift) and run me thru some of your daily activities? I am in New Jersey. Thanks!

Are there any fully remote lawfirms, ie you don't have to live in the state they have offices? I recently left a large lawfirm to go in-house which came with a huge paycut that is not going to be sustainable long term, but needed a remote position to be able to move. I'd like to keep my current job part-time but get back in a lawfirm too.

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!
