Re: Vent thread

So today was a clusterfuck at work. Turns out the paralegal who has been here longer than the rest of us (she's been at the office about a year) doesn't like change and doesn't like that she's having to teach us attorney procedures and doesn't like not being in charge. She's gone to the head boss with claims that I haven't been doing intakes on cases that for the most part never actually hired us and that my supervisor is faking the surgery she's out this week to get.

My supervisor is trying to clear things up with the head boss, but I honestly don't know how it is all going to end up going down.

I've been nothing but kind, nice, willing to learn, and I ask for help and don't boss her around. And that may be part of the problem, that she doesn't see me as her superior because I haven't been acting like it. But she takes offense at any criticism, claims we're being arrogant if we even suggest her ideas and need to control cases is wrong, and is doing the same thing to my supervisor/department head who absolutely acts like a boss.

I don't even know. I'm just exhausted and frustrated. I didn't even have a chance to eat lunch today. I'm currently cheating on my diet by making a box of Kraft Mac and cheese. It was either that or alcohol, and I thought the mac and cheese was a more justifiable cheat.

are you both women and is this paralegal like this with men or other women? does your firm have a lot of female attorneys? sometimes I've found if a person is used to dealing with men, that it's straight up sexism.

Re: Vent thread

That paralegal is a woman, my supervisor and I are both women, the second paralegal is a man, the head guy is a man. But her previous department supervisor was also a woman. My impression is its less sexism and more dislike of change and wanting to stop said change.

honestly a year is not long enough for this type of possessiveness omg so i feel you there. she may just be an asshole (I'm leaning towards that), but if she can be shaken from being stubborn i hope she gets shook. And now you know you need to cya with her for everything.

I have no idea about this situation but I'm hoping that things will become healthier soon.
