🤦‍♀️😭😳 I did it again... Minor mess up and as I was thinking through how to fix it my FURIOUS boss fixed it, yelling at his computer, complaining.. the anger was so intense... I offered to fix it and he barked at me. I know he wants to fire me, but it's just the 2 of us and he needs help with printing and file preps. I just sat quietly...feeling the stabbings in my brain from his intense emotions.. I can't afford a pay cut to leave.. He's super unapproachable... Words of encouragement?

If you're working for someone prone to displays of anger, it's probably a good idea to start planning your exit and put out feelers and look at listings for other jobs. People like that generally don't improve, that's the way they are. Beyond that, just try to avoid his tantrums, I suppose. Do your work as best you can and realize that his personality is not a reflection on you, he's probably been that way forever.

I'd say, document as much as you can (safely, legally and strategically). And then start planning your exit. The best time to job hunt is when you have a job.

When they have released anger try again to approach and apologize. Shake it off and do your best. Maybe bring favorite coffee or snacks?

Rising 2nd year here: been rethinking my choice as an M&A attorney. I've had a rough go of it over the first year-and-a-half of practice and am thinking about moving to a different practice area. I'd like to stay on the transactional side, but am not quite sure what areas I can leverage my corporate and M&A skills in. I was thinking T&E (i.e. business succession planning, etc.)

Would greatly appreciate input from others.

Nice bowl to avoid lowering the average in the US-centric threads. Anybody else finding that with the lack of pay rises this year, it’s become even harder to benchmark?

Hi- I’m an hourly AA, been on the role for 6 months now and it’s my first AA job. I did not get a raise when I took the job because it was technically a demotion ( I was a team leader at a contact center). I assist two VPs and now they want to add a third because they’re looking for the “ 3:1 ratio “. Should I ask for a raise? Is this normal? I know another AA that handles 3+ people but idk if she’s hourly or salary. Any thoughts?
