Hi all, I wanted to take a moment to follow up on this post. First and foremost, I'd like to thank those of you that called me out for being a dickbag; my post here was irrationally angry to say the least.

There were some other preceding interactions with the intern regarding status and expected timeline of said deliverable which in my mind lent credence to what felt like being hounded by a junior team member unnecessarily (and of course I wasn't withholding the deliverable, nor did I stop working to make a stupid post - I made my stupid post afterwards 😉). The bottom line is, those details don't matter. This was a coachable moment for the intern and an exercise in patience for myself.

The thought that they might read this post is truly mortifying and I'm ashamed that I did so. I didn't sleep well last night thinking about it. The fact is, working with young people has become one of the unexpected joys of my career and I would never do harm to someone's career (or prospective career) for something so trivial.

Thanks for keeping me grounded.

C1: look at you talking out of your ass to someone you don't know. Interactions on anonymized social media have nothing to do with productivity.

like

Calling out both OP and C1 for overreacting / being a little too harsh. OP - don't be an asshole - we've all been there and our job is to develop these interns. Not to mention, when this intern goes back to campus and talks about how god-awful her internship was because she worked with an awful manager, that reflects unfortunately on the whole firm. Let's not be that firm. C1, I have definitely used double !! occasionally - jumping down someone's throat and calling them out as a fucktard is unnecessary.

like

OP seems a wee bit insecure

like

I suggest giving very direct feedback. Sit her down and say plainly "When you called me the other day about that deliverable, it was frustrating to me as a manager, and here's why ________. I'm letting you know this, because I want you to do well here, and I thought you should know that this is how our culture is, and it may not be well received by other people in the firm if you do that in the future. Does that make sense? What are your thoughts about this feedback?"

Glad you are introspective enough to see that. Remember that one day those "junior" people may have to have your back one day! Develop talent and help them shine. You'll rise with them. It's all a firm has to sell. Lose the hierarchical mentality and think about someone besides yourself and I think you'll be surprised at the result on both ends.

Advice requested: When you were a legal intern or a summer, what type of projects did you like best? What was most helpful to you when you received a new assignment? Anything you wish your mentor did/didn’t do? I’m working with my first ever intern and trying to structure projects so they know that the work is important and relevant to the business, and why, and to provide enough background info on the area of law so they don’t spin wheels on the basics. What else should I be doing?
