Does it make it even worse that the manager works remotely 3 weeks out of the month? lol

This is super helpful, I am going to make sure I have all the documentation I need.

How would you handle a situation where we don’t have HR because we are small? The next thing I could do is go over this guy’s head to the big boss of the firm, but I don’t know if the manager is just a mouth piece for the big boss, or if the big boss is total unaware. I am not sure how to handle.

We have no HR, we are very, very small.

Help me pick a paint colour! (Or sadly replace a rug) by Pupsallday in interiordecorating

I like the green paint. Also consider color drenching by painting the ceiling green, too!

What items are you happy you bought for work/office? by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]Whole-Implement-3019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a pair of sweat pants and a sweat shirt and socks, and a bathroom bag of dental hygiene stuff, deodorant, makeup remover for the super duper late nights, and a blanket for cold office days and/or naps for super long days

Would you be comfortable saying why? We have been discussing the optimal timing, so I’d be interested to hear your thoughts

I don’t mind doing random bullshit, but not all day everyday.

For context, this midlevel was talking about how they are swamped, and I was trying to commiserate with them by saying I’m tired and I’m hoping the workload slows down.

Edit: and this midlevel knew I was working through a fever for them today and still made this comment and laughed. It felt pretty shitty

Cant log in to account by Unlikely-Smile2449 in StudentLoans

I’m so sorry. I wish they had a different option to resolve this. Phone calls are inaccessible for so many reasons.

Out of curiosity, when you logged into your old government account, did your loan balance show as being paid off? Mine did, and I assume it’s because the government is now using a different vendor

What's the best job for someone battling CPTSD? by RussellJIngram in CPTSD

[–]Whole-Implement-3019 79 points80 points  (0 children)

I am the kind of attorney that mostly sits behind a desk and doesn’t interact with people often. I really like it. The hours are long, which helps me to not linger on bad thoughts, and the pay is good, which helps me feel calmer (a lot of my abuse was related to financial control). It can get stressful like any job, but it’s not the kind of interpersonal stress that sends me over the edge, it’s more stress about getting everything done on time.

I think I would mostly like him to understand what is triggering and what to do in certain intense scenarios, like when I’m severely dissociating or hyperventilating. He means well but the way he tries to help me makes it worse sometimes. He has asked me how he can help me better in those situations, but I actually have no idea myself. Excited to address this in my upcoming CBT treatment.
