I know a couple associates in that office and they are good people/seem happy. However, when I hear their name mentioned around town it’s mostly in connection with the following: https://www.google.com/search?q=mike+blankenship+law+suit&sca_esv=87a3793c0b59dab3&sxsrf=ANbL-n5URdswgXVrw1IpClKZl3t2yYrgxg%3A1779597712983&source=hp&ei=kIESapvnOb60qtsPpaLvyQE&biw=390&bih=654&oq=mike+blankenship+law+suit&gs_lp=EhFtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1ocCIZbWlrZSBibGFua2Vuc2hpcCBsYXcgc3VpdDIGEAAYDRgeMgcQIRigARgKMgcQIRigARgKMgcQIRigARgKMgcQIRigARgKMgUQABjvBTILEAAYgAQYhgMYigUyCxAAGIAEGIYDGIoFSJEpUNAZWNAZcAN4AJABAJgBgAGgAYABqgEDMC4xuAEDyAEA-AEC-AEBmAIEoAKUAagCMcICDhAAGLQCGOoCGNsF2AEBwgITECMY8AUYwQYYJxjJAhjqAtgBAcICDRAjGMEGGCcY6gLYAQHCAhAQABgDGLQCGOoCGI8B2AEBmAMH8QUd3euMDJJWw7oGBAgBGBeSBwMzLjGgB_kHsgcDMC4xuAeFAcIHAzItNMgHFIAIAA&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-hp

Hi! I have recently taken a step back from my Doctorate in Physical Therapy and am trying to find my next move.

Any recommendations on sales vs PT vs psychology vs really anything? Thank you!!

I have been a phlebotomist for the last three and a half years with quest. I have over 20 years of experience. And have been trying to transfer to a different state.

If I can't successfully transfer I may have to look for work outside of my current employer.

My work product is becoming worse and partners are noticing/commenting. I just hate the practice area so much that every time I am asked to do something I just get it done as quickly as possible and can’t be bothered to put in effort.

What can a junior associate do about a mid-level that constantly asks questions about things they were cc’d on, sends dozens of piecemeal emails and is generally just super high strung and needs everything right away?? No other mid-levels I’ve worked with act this way and this individual I’m working with is driving me insane and I’ve spent countless hours attaching emails and saying “as explained in the attached email…”

Can any seasoned lawyer share tips and materials (i.e. books) which can help?
