Recently have seen signs that my associate is jealous of the way the staff is treated at my firm. Guaranteed yearly raises, end of year bonus, no salary cap…my Associate has recently revealed that he wants to give me more work but is afraid it would jeopardize our relationship…. Kinda through me back with the comment… now I have to tread lightly and be careful what I say…. Or do I act like nothing was said and keep the relationship the way it was? strange… help!?

Wow, sounds like you have a good employer. Where do you work? Are you in CA? I would ask this attorney what he means. Also why would he/she be jealous? Attorneys get paid more than we do.

Additional Posts in Paralegals

Any struggling paralegals here? Do you feel like your financial situation is affecting your productivity at work? I like the work I do but the pay really sucks. I feel like the fear of not being able to pay some bills on time is affecting my productivity. I’ve asked for a raise but that may not still cut it, and idk if that will go through or not.

I did it! I got an in-house Paralegal position after years of working and being burned out at different law firms. I was going to leave the legal field all together because I was so burned out and depressed, but I decided to give the field one more chance if I was able to go in-house. Prayerfully, this transition will be a good one.

Hi everyone. Is it typical for the attorney to take credit for the work a paralegal does? An example: I gave some ideas about deposition questions and some observations I made (I was asked about giving suggestions) regarding a witness and the attorney mentioned that he’s the one that had these great questions/observations. Zero credit or thank you for the work I did.

For those of you who made the switch to in house/corporate law, what was your experience like? Did you have to take a lower position to gain the experience or were you able to argue that your soft skills were transferable to in house? I’ve been in litigation for 15 years and I’m looking to make the switch. Ultimately, I’d like to get into Legal Ops, but feel getting some in house experience first would be beneficial.
