I am looking for the post made by the junior associate with the voicemail from the female partner on a Friday night telling her how stupid she is. I didn’t bookmark the voicemail and I wanted to show it to a colleague to show her there are worse bosses than ours. Lol. It was circulating a couple of months ago. I believe it was a New York firm.

Recruiters are trying to get people to work at that firm. I laugh and tell them no and tell them to check out ATL. I saved that voicemail and sent it to some former BigLaw partners I know. At the very least, let’s let her colleagues know what kind of person she is so it can get uncomfortable for them
