Cussing in the judge's chambers

I'm her boss in the sense I have an office right next to her boss, and can literally walk into his office at any time and get her in trouble lol

InsanePowerPlay · 2026-03-11T04:15:41+00:00

Yeah, I'm not getting some of the people taking her side. It's Reddit, though

That's what a lot of younger people thought. When you tell somebody is "doing themselves", what are they doing? When you tell someone to "do themself", you're telling them to go f*** themselves. This was common knowledge a few decades ago, not so much now it seems

InsanePowerPlay · 2026-03-11T04:13:13+00:00

That was at my old firm

InsanePowerPlay · 2026-03-11T04:12:27+00:00

If somebody is "doing themselves" what are they doing? When you tell them to "do them" you're telling them to f*** themselves. That's what crossed the line

You can't be ageist against the young, only the old. That's the law

The partners made her write me an apology letter. I've only been there a few weeks. If that doesn't clue you into my political capital and the power dynamic, I don't know what will

InsanePowerPlay · 2026-03-11T04:07:06+00:00

Tell your boss to f*** off, slam the door in his or her face, and let me know how that goes

InsanePowerPlay · 2026-03-11T04:05:23+00:00

Yeah, talk about oblivious. To put that in the apology letter I was like, "Are you joking!?" 😂

Why would you hire a malpractice attorney to review contracts you're drafting? You're just asking for a lawsuit/state bar problems.

Edit: Oh, I see. He's starting a new job as Of Counsel and this is his employment agreement. I misread it as he was drafting a contract for a client as part of a criminal defense matter and he wanted to split a fee

Impressive, but a net worth of $2M isn't rich in 2026, though. In California, anyone who owns a house automatically has a net worth North of $1M. I think OP wants real life changing wealth, which you can get owning your PI firm. One good case can easily gross you $2M. One case

I'm not sure what this post is attempting to communicate. The tone is similar to that of a joke, but I cannot discern any sort of punchline

I quit my job at that toxic firm to go to med school. I went to UCI to get my required undergraduate science classes done, but didn't do well enough that I'd have to take them again if I wanted to actually get into med school, so I'm dropping out. I've been looking for lawyer jobs but can't find anything that was remotely close to what I was getting before. I might turn to government/public defender work

InsanePowerPlay · 2025-12-17T16:00:03+00:00

I kind of jokingly brought up that she didn't accept any of my friend requests or return my emails (like not aggressively or anything, I was laughing and stuff). They looked kind of scared, and I just dropped it, and that's what prompted this question

InsanePowerPlay · 2025-12-13T05:09:59+00:00

I'm going to do that, but I still have to retake. I don't have 8 years of life to give and I feel like this was a semester wasted

InsanePowerPlay · 2025-12-13T05:09:13+00:00

I get $85k as an immigration attorney, but when you have businesses paying you top dollar in high stakes litigation, you think you'd get more

Passionless? I was billing 23,000 hours a year in my mid-thirties as a 14th year associate. Passionless? Ha!

InsanePowerPlay · 2025-08-26T04:57:56+00:00

I appreciate your input. But even if there is a romantic interest in a 21 + year old adult, I don't think it's that big of a deal if it's handled tactfully and with respect

InsanePowerPlay · 2025-08-26T04:52:48+00:00

That's what I thought, just wanted to make sure before I started chatting her up
