I always had fun messing with interns. When doing a shoot on the stage, I would tell them in a low voice, "advertising is deception." Their shocked look was fun....

Why in my day we used to send them to find find a hen weigh. And when they would finally come back and ask what’s an hen weigh, and we say say about 8 pounds. The look on their faces. Hilarious. But not as hilarious as their faves were when they realize we put laxative in their coffee while they were gone. I miss the early 21st century

When you’re an intern you’re trying so hard to do the “right thing.” Theres nothing funny about it unless you’re chummy. And no ones chunmy with the interns . Sounds like you’re trying to protect your job and bullying people out for taking it.. Not looking for a fight here, just think twice next time as that is a form of bullying. It’s unwanted stress for the intern.

"No-one is chummy with interns"?? YOU are the "bully" here! I took great pride in mentoring and teaching my interns everything I know. I was "chummy" with ALL of them. You are the abuser by refusing to be "chummy" with them. Wow. So many judgmental, easily outraged people here. If you don't understand the joke, just scroll on. Again I say, wow.

The partner blamed me for something I literally had no idea about. The partner alleges that I filed response to a motion which was horrendous. I did not draft or file that response. I know nothing about the case. I was never assigned to that case or assignment. I feel like this partner just looks for someone to blame for their horrible work product when s**t hits the fan. I checked the docket report and it shows that partner filed. Toxic much.

Is it really that hard to say please and thank you instead of barking orders at me like a dog?

I know we are busy, I know this is my job, but dang, it is a lot more pleasant to work for the midlevels and seniors who say please and thank you and show a tiny amount of respect and appreciation.

I actively avoid working for midlevels and seniors who just bark at me, never ask, and never say thank you because it just shows they don’t care about being a half decent human.

My organization absorbed another and the former deputy PM became a branch head - a demotion. For org was more focused on tech dev and not delivering a product on a sked. New org is very focused on that. He is not a driving leader, but is the only one with the tech knowledge needed. He is retirement eligible. He has no heir apparent - previous org didn’t plan that way. If I move him under someone who is a driver - he retires and I lose the knowledge. If I don’t, we may not meet schedules. Advice?
