Why are you attacking OP’s happiness JA1
Thankfully OP was never a stub year. They came out of the uterus as a senior associate, quickly gained computer literacy, and decided to soil their diaper here.

Idle hands are the devil’s workshop. It’s true of stubs and it’s true of partners. People start gossiping and engaging in behavior that is both self-destructive for themselves and for the culture around them when they don’t have productive ways to keep themselves busy.
This is really is true at all levels. It’s not just stubs.
There’s an old saying about this industry: “This is a feast or famine business and the only thing worse than the feast is the famine.”
Well, what everyone who has seen it before is telling you is: Prepare for the famine. Winter is coming.
How do you prepare? Find ways to be productive and to avoid falling prey to the traps that tempt us all when we aren’t fully deployed.

Man thank goodness the rest of us are never entitled or neurotic. Can you imagine if there were associates and partners that acted like that?
Seriously why so many of them all of a sudden

Because most of the stub years started within the past month or so... There's a very short window for comments from stub years.

They don’t have enough work yet so they just hang out here. They are about to all get slammed though.

It’s because they had to do law school and Covid. I don’t envy them
