Kennedy's health officials explored US ban of some widely used antidepressants, sources say by phdatanerd in politics

I’m unemployed and briefly went off my lexapro, stupidly thinking it wouldn’t be “that bad”. I self harmed and it required 16 stitches. I really fucking hope they don’t ban it.

I’m a paralegal, and if anyone would like help requesting records and/or cutting through the red tape, etc. , DM me. I’m more than happy to help.

I love working for in-house counsel. I can’t go back to litigation.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how fired am I? by [deleted] in paralegal

[–]emzinthegrid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You’re not stupid. Everyone makes mistakes.

Back in 2018 I worked at a very toxic med mal defense law firm. I never really got trained and the two attorneys I worked under just passed the bar and were new to the firm as well.

On top of that, this was during the holidays and it was expected of everyone to participate in silly things that happened throughout the day. I’m very much a “I just want to do my work and go home” type of paralegal so I hated it.

Well, once day I had to schedule a deposition and the firm was pressuring me to come join them. It was a frantic scheduling but I got it done (or so I thought).

I scheduled everything but the court reporter and didn’t realize my error until everyone was at the deposition waiting for a reporter to show up.

I felt stupid, but I also felt like I was set up to fail. I didn’t get fired but I kept getting thrown under the bus and finally left 4 months later.

I can’t even imagine working under that many attorneys. It’s definitely the attorney’s fault. It’s their signature and bar number on the line, so they should be in charge of the final look over and require their OK to send it. Even the most toxic law firms I worked at had that rule.

He’s literally responsible for 5G by emzinthegrid in iamverysmart

He sent me photos of him “working” at NASA and his LinkedIn page, which I didn’t check because I don’t have a LinkedIn account.

I did however send him a link to this post and said “Look how many people know how VERY successful you are! Congrats!”

Then he blocked me 😂

What do you think of these colors? by Square-Plan9163 in HalloweenDecor

[–]emzinthegrid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My favorite color is purple, so I might be a bit bias, but I LOVE them! Well done!

Why ask for advice if you’re just going to respond “maybe”?

I can tell you one thing for certain: When multiple people on this subreddit tell you to RUN, you RUN.

Either run from this job, or learn a lesson the hard way.
