Legitimately had a mental break this week. I worked from 8 am until past midnight for 11 days straight and then a bunch of people started yelling at me over nothing and I almost quit on the spot so I could sleep.

Looking for the off ramp now 🥱✈️

I’m so sorry. I know what that’s like. Is it possible to nap during the day and set 30-45 minute alarms for naps? I find it helps on days like this when I get a break in email traffic and I leave my ringer on and set my phone to work mode so only work calls/Outlook emails come through

Thanks for taking the time to offer the above advice. I really appreciate it. I think at this point, we've had so many heart to hearts that I don't have it in me to have another talk.

I'm going to let things cool down and then might discuss with the partner because I've heard that this associate was removed from other client matters. I think she could be really, really good but the power struggle won't serve her.

Consider short term disability leave.

If this happens again, I will. I'm trying and working as much as I can and they're freaking out on me for not mind reading...

Similar boat here, have been drowning and partner criticizing over mistake that is way over blown. Tempted to quit on the spot but seems like no benefit other than the short term gratification.

The sleep?? lol

I’m a first year associate (almost second year). I work at a national firm and I’m not a litigator. When I started with the firm, I was told I could work out of any office. Long story short, I regret choosing the office that I chose. I’d like to transfer to another office - is that a difficult ask? I’m licensed in the state I’d like to transfer to. I don’t know how to make this request.
