My CD keeps calling me and my partner the ladies and addressing the males by their names. How many times will I have to tell him my damn fucking name before it sticks? 🙄

Interrupt him every time he does that with a simple “my name is ___” Do it every time until he gets it right.

Fuck I hate when they do that. Once had a GCD ask my partner and I if we'd rather be called "the girls" or "the ladies." Told him our names would be just fine.

Well they can’t go calling all the boys “the boys” there’s just too many and that would be so very confusing in a boys club. (Make sure that dumb dumb calls you by your name, that’s so annoying)

Tell him if he's going to call you by your gender and not your name you're going to call him "the sexist CD" I mean not that that is a specific enough nickname to know which CD you're talking about but worth a try

Document asking him to adjust his phrasing. If nothing happens, you have it as evidence for asking for it to stop.

Have you been fired before even starting your new job?

I signed for a new job two months ago and will start next month (3 mo notice period in Europe). They were very keen on getting me on-board ASAP before signing but since I signed the contract it has been silent from the new employee. I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.

Mostly to vent, but wonder if anyone else has had to deal with this…my team consists of a partner, shareholder, 3 associates, myself and a legal assistant. We have a busy docket, 70 active litigation files. For over a year I have been dealing with inexperienced legal assistants, mostly coming from other areas of law. The partner relies heavily on me to clean up the messes, fix the mistakes, etc., and HR is on me for doing too much admin, i.e., non-billable work.
