Yikes. The biggest learning lesson I’ve had so far is never work for a husband wife team. I refer to them as disaster duos. Glad you dodged this!
Agreed. Disaster duos is the perfect name for a husband and wife team. They will be unprofessional, HR will be nonexistent, and you’ll eventually hate working.
They brought up race. They inquired further about what the personal reason was for why I left. I brought up how I noticed there weren’t any female attorneys in his office. It was bizarre. My answers weren’t the best but at the same time I knew by the middle of the interview I didn’t want the job so I didn’t care if he liked my answers or not. I emailed them via their work email addresses around 5 pm withdrawing my application. They emailed me around 7 pm saying they weren’t moving forward with me.
You dodged a bullet IMO. Too bad you don’t have a recording of that interview. I’m sure the EEOC would be very interested.
This is cringey! I am glad they showed their true colors in the interview though. You’re better off.
Name and shame 👀
Oh come on! I work in nyc and now I’m dying to know!!! Lol 😂
Wowza. You dodged a bullet.
Never ever work for a husband and wife team!!! They are the most unprofessional and corrupt assholes. You dodged a bullet not working for these idiots. (Never mind all of the inappropriate and illegal questions that they asked you!)
Omg this sounds a lot like an attorney I worked for very early on in my career. It was a cringey attorney and his office manager wife. I despite my hesitation from a very weird interview where he told me he didn’t like women attorneys took the job anyway. The wife tried not pay me the first week and I had track her down where she finally annoyed that I found her wrote me a check out of her personal account. I had to remind her every week thereafter to pay me. I had to fight with them horribly for reimbursement on travel expenses. The Spanish clientele and staff were his money makers but he treated them abhorrently. Their were no files for some clients, half files, and files where he let his non English speaking “paralegal”“write” discovery. The place was a mess in so many ways and I left after exactly 4 weeks. I say all that to say you probably dodged a big bullet. Be thankful.
Wow that sounds like something out of an episode of Curb. Glad they showed their colors so early.
They’ll probably hire their 3rd, 4th, 5th cousin who just graduated law school and is a dude because the wife is the brains behind this “operation” and she does not want any fine female lawyers in the office cuz she jelly.
In any event, good luck on the job hunt! What area are you interested in?
Ugh girl I fell into family law nearly 4 years ago and like no other field of law will touch me lol. This is just what I do now. Highlight your litigation skills on your cv and keep going until you find what you are looking for!
if I’d learned anything is that 99% when the managing partner has his wife or sister working for them, it’s a huge red flag. I’ve been in this situation…sister thought she ran the show even though she made no money for the firm…
Every associate quit because of her.
Good on you for withdrawing! I fell into this trap for my first job out of law school and wow it was traumatizing and spirit crushing. Now the partner is being sued for sexual harassment so I feel somewhat vindicated now!
