“I sometimes lose my patience and have to go for a short walk”

Sounds genuine, which is what I look for when asking questions like this (don't really use the weakness one though)

🤷🏼‍♂️ In-house v. more trial experience? I’m a junior partner (insurance *coverage*) with one 2nd chair trial. I *might* have a few more trials in the next 3-4 years, but maybe not. Should I stick around 3-4 more years or go in-house at insurer now? My goal is to try to maximize my skill set and, if I go in-house, return to private practice eventually w/ some client contacts from my in-house work. Any advice??? I’m really conflicted on this. 🤔

My manager has lost confidence in me. On occasions when there’s been a problem he overreacts and blames me instead of guiding me. He has sent messages where he overreacts and says mean things, but then on calls he is nice and says it’s not my fault… I have lost self-confidence and get anxious on sundays thinking about the week ahead… Should I just quit or do you think it’s something that can be resolved? he might be thinking about terminating me since he’s been taking away my direct reports

Food for thought: the US is actually one of the most racially conscious places I’ve ever lived. Not saying we don’t have a LONG way to go and that there isn’t immediate important work needed.
But the amount of allies this movement has is incredible. Keep in mind this is just my experience and may not represent others- however, in many of the other places I’ve lived or traveled to, racism is almost tacitly accepted. You wouldn’t have people calling out taxi drivers for ignorance for example
