It can vary depending on state and industry but below are pretty typical signs:

1. publicly undercuts you at every opportunity
2. consistently denies you opportunities for visibility and growth
3. takes all of the diet sodas and keeps them in his mini-fridge in his office, when he knows you have a Diet Coke habit
4. physically attacks you when you least expect, for example on your way back from the bathroom
5. sleeps with your wife without your permission

Any one instance isn’t dispositive, but multiple instances or multiple combinations of instances is probably a sign you should look for another job.

Right! Like you didn’t enter your time on time even though you entered time before any other attorney at the firm.

If they are micromanaging you and not others, that is always my sign that they don’t care for me. I had a boss at my last company who was ALWAYS double-checking my work and looking for mistakes. I knew she didn’t like me because she never did that to anyone else.

Thus far, I've gotten this in two different flavors. The first is more obvious. They micromanage and nitpick your work more than anyone else. They block your ability to grow in your role, to gain promotions or to move internally. They constantly belittle you and refuse to protect you from office politics. They hold you to impossible standards.

The second less so. They ice you out. You aren't included in meetings that you should be included in. You aren't being given the same workload or work opportunities. You're treated as if you don't exist.

Does anyone else suffer with paralysis? Mine is so bad I don’t even know what to do anymore. In example, something as simple as responding to a text with a heart and a “happy thanksgiving to you too” was all I needed to do and I didn’t. Now it’s Sunday and I feel awful responding so late. I’m procrastinating with life errands and feeling the burn. I do the biggest bare minimum at work and I’m pretty sure people are started to notice. Everything is making my anxiety and overthinking worse.

How many billable hours per week is considered at capacity? I’m getting pushback on boundaries I’m setting about additional matters and marketing work from my firm when I’ve been billing 60-75 hours per week for the last 6 weeks, and I’m still behind on my work. I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.
