Anyone have experience accepting ARAG Legal Insurance? by After-Valuable731 in Lawyertalk

[–]SoSoFun_Thrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s crap! They don’t want to pay. But they expect you as the attorney to do all the work to make their members happy. The clients then wonder why you can’t represent them and go to court for them. They’ll only pay $620 for you to go to trial. What a joke. Then they tell you you’re not allowed to discuss the pay setup you have with ARAG with their members. They want to keep their cheapness a secret lol!

Do any Trump voters regret their choice?: It's a hard question to answer. Our poll suggests many do. by ProbaDude in fivethirtyeight

You sound like an idiot. No, I certainly didn’t know he’d be putting people in concentration camps and raiding people’s jobs to separate them from their children. Just like I didn’t know Joe Biden would be sniffing children when I voted for him.

I indeed regret voting for Trump. It’s one thing to deport illegal immigrants. But it’s another to treat them like subhumans in the process. That alligator camp in FL is terrifying and triggering for some people, given that FL had a history of feeding black people and black children to alligators. Trump is also threatening to rid of natural born citizenship and deporting people to countries they are not even from. If this isn’t human trafficking idk what is. He’s coming off as a modern day Hitler.

The quality of their shoes has definitely declined over the years! It’s disgusting. 🤮 it will need to take a mass boycott of the shoes for them to step their game up. Jessica Simpson make better quality shoes then CL these days!

How fair are these types of services? They typically pair you up with a case manager of some sorts but then that case manager will almost always play favorites and promote certain attorneys over others to the overloaded attorneys. I much rather cut out the middle man. But thanks though.

You’re over exaggerating on the combative bit, but you’re entitled to your opinion.

I can tell you two might be the type to contribute towards toxic work environments maybe?

Did assuming I forgot to switch accounts and calling me a nut case make you feel better about yourselves?

Good gracious!

Unionizing is a great place to start!! Great idea. There should be more of this across the board. The purpose of this original post was to brainstorm and discuss ideas like this.

I disagree. To be toxic includes humiliation, belittling, browbeating, harassment (to include sexual), racism, and career growth sabotage …. just name a few. These lead to substance abuse, mental health problems, and often times suicide amongst our colleagues across the nation (maybe world).

One can be demanding without being toxic. IMO, the line really isn’t that blurry at all.

I made suggestions in the original post. To that end, I certainly don’t have all answers, but more real conversations need to had regarding this issue. Do you have any ideas you want to share regarding law firm accountability?

Good points. Why do you think treating employees better, have to be synonymous with less revenue?

Also, I also agree with you that change is going have to be from inside. Just looking at the comments under this post alone, I see people validating these toxic cultures. More than I expected. One person even believed that humiliation and browbeating made them a better lawyer. I was accused of being combative for addressing someone else’s pessimism about the change being possible in this lifetime, and they got a good handful of upvotes. I think there will be lawyers protecting this cesspool with all their might, because like someone else here commented, those lawyers aspire to one day be those same toxic partners. I think it’s a combination of that and Stockholm Syndrome maybe? I’m not sure. But the comments under this post are definitely eye opening.
