I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

Maybe ask her what her preferred method of communication is
This is a serious reply. As the attorney it’s up to you to get the filing filed and being gentle doesn’t serve anyone. Have a talk with her and ask how this can be avoided in the future. Personally I don’t want piles of emails for urgent matters. If she prefers a call, text, or teams chat with an exclamation point then do that. It’s ultimately up to you to supervise and you’re not doing a good job there.
Lol wtf. The first thing one should do after making a mistake is apologize and try to fix it. Not complain that your superior didn’t chase after you begging you to do your job.
Absolutely not in the wrong here.
Not in the wrong. Standard business practice is emails. Time for a frank conversation!
Trust yourself. This paralegal is engaged in nonsense. Been there, tolerated it for way too long in the hopes of change. Didn’t happen and the paralegal no longer works here. So my suggestions are as follows. Document each instance. Connect with their supervisor and provide specific examples. You may discover they are actively undermining the work (I did). Don’t settle for the paralegal being reassigned; push for termination. The bottom line is that someone who actively resists doing their job is a drag on the team. You got this.
This seems extreme
