I busted my a$$ for a partner at my firm the last two weeks and along the way all I got were snarky or passive aggressive emails/cmnts. The occasional compliment when he was in a good mood but otherwise just bs comments or emails. I’m an older associate and have a low tolerance for people talking to me like that. Firm has 99% associates since beginning of 2021, I joined mid 2021 and now see why everyone is gone. Just pissed off thinking about the things he’s said as I recover from being tired.

Is there any way you can work more for other partners? And then be too busy to do work for him? That’s what I did. I have a lot tolerance for this sort of thing as well.

Hi folks,
Quite new to this. I’ll be moving to Dubai in a month and I got to know that my education documents need to be attested before the company can apply for visa.

Do I need to have MOFA Attestation in addition to the UAE Embassy Attestation from home country or will that be managed by the company in UAE itself?
