So, like, at what point are the partners you work for narcissistic and at what point is that just your perception, man? Had a miserable interpersonal day today and I’m wondering if it’s valid—or if it is valid, if going somewhere else is going to be any different.

If it’s a pattern, then I don’t think it’s in your head. It’s always worth looking into other opportunities. The only way to find out if it will be the same everywhere else is to look. You won’t get any new information from staying in the same spot. Hope you find a better fit soon. Hang in there in the meantime!

I always tell myself, "It's unlikely to be worse" when it gets really bad! Look elsewhere. You have skills and are deserving of being treated kindly by colleagues.

What happened?

Ugh. Pattern of hot and cold behavior makes me feel like I can’t trust anyone and I don’t have a genuine connection with anyone in my small group except those that left. I just feel really stuck, hypercriticized, and like there isn’t a clear path to partnership because of all the insecurity. I desperately want to leave the group but don’t have the support of upper management yet, so I’m feeling hopeless—and the more I seek work outside the group, the more interpersonal drama and passive aggressive behavior it causes.

I recently lateraled into Big Law. Most of my colleagues are homegrown. My shift did involve a big change in practice area, and there's work that I haven't done before that I now have to do.

But, sometimes I feel stupid here, even for work which I have done previously. It's like I'm unable to understand instructions the first time around. And I have seen my colleagues getting annoyed by that. It's like I've become dumb. In my defence, I could say they're giving half assed instructions.
