Bit of a niche topic: I’ve been in TS/SCI processing for a Science/Tech/Weapons analyst position with the CIA for 3 yrs since I finished grad school in chemistry, but CIA positions are sort of set it and forget it since they can take so long.

Just moved to law firm. It's month 2.5. Beginning was rocky, I am required to hand write hours and submit to partner now, met with partner about performance, doing better now but firm posted job identical to mine. Partners won't look at me in eye at happy hour. I nearly blew filing deadline, coworker drove to courthouse to file. I guess I blew a contract review deadline. Do I sound like I deserve to be fired?
