I’ve decided to stop answering calls from this rude attorney (not from my firm) because I noticed on emails he’s very cordial but then on the phone, takes advantage of my junior status and chastises me (and not the partner) for our client’s position and it sets me in a terrible mood. He also doesn’t leave voicemails or follow up emails so it’s purely just to let out his aggression at someone who has no control over the situation. I will not let some sad stranger ruin my weekends anymore!!

If he really needs to talk, he will leave a VM. With working from home I’ve adopted that attitude a lot more because sometimes I will only get a main office phone number displayed on a missed call and not a particular person’s name

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

If you must pick up maybe you can record the call and tell him this call will be recorded. Some people think they can get away with everything smh

Unfortunately there’s not much we can do since he’s not in our organization (and it doesn’t quite rise to the level where we would need to inform the court or bar association). But yeah some people really just get off on making others feel small.

Put him on speaker and do other things around the house. Eg watch YouTube with no volume
