It just better demonstrated your frustration with the work haha

If all you’re doing is writing default motions, your firm is either working you up to do more, or making that your speciality. You gotta find that out fast

I joined fishbowl a month ago and while I’ve seen a couple contentious debates but I must say I’m pleasantly surprised at how respectfully ppl comment on this app even when disagreeing. Usually anonymity on the internet brings out the absolute worst in ppl; they type things anonymously that they would NEVER say in person smh. But I really haven’t seen horrible comments here. I wonder what makes this app diff frm others?
