Paralegal just stormed out of my office on verge of tears
Poast new message in this thread
Date: April 24th, 2015 2:00 PM Author: Frisky Theater She's among the worst people I've ever worked with. Incompetent and extremely defensive/sensitive. I needed her to put together a signature page packet. Knowing that this would prove difficult I painstakingly spelled out the directions, made a table with the doc ids and language I wanted referencing the docs in the footers on those pages. There are about 40 docs total. Over 24 hours later she's nowhere near being finished and when I look at what she has done it's ridiculous, a total mess. so I get another paralegal involved who does know what she's doing to take over so I could get this stuff out to the client who asked for it yesterday. She then asks to see me in my office, stops by, shuts the door and says she wishes I would have just explained to her what I wanted rather than get the other paralegal involved. I told her that I did explain what I wanted but that she didn't listen and that she has a problem listening. She acted like I had insulted her mother - said I can't believe you're saying that to me. Then opened the door and stormed out.
Now all of the paralegals and secretaries on the floor are walking by more often than normal and peaking into my office; not sure what they're expecting to see. |

Date: April 24th, 2015 2:08 PM Author: Frisky Theater It's so awkward around here now. I've heard about all this drama at the support staff level that I've just ignored but now I have a feeling I'm going to be in the thick of it.

Date: April 24th, 2015 2:16 PM Author: Frisky Theater yeah i think so. she's nuts. she was moved from another group where she'd run into some issues with a senior associate. that senior associate later talked to me and we quickly figured out we were having similar problems with her. he seriously told me not to get close to her at all or ever have my door closed to my office when she's in with me for fear that she may try to claim sexual harassment.

Date: April 24th, 2015 2:37 PM Author: Frisky Theater Yeah she told a whole bunch of lies about the other guy apparently; or at least attempted to severely misconstrue what he'd said to make it sound a lot worse than what it was. so I'm sure she'll try to do the same to me. so I've been trying to document everything and spell things out in a way that no reasonable person could accuse me of being the cause of the problem.

Date: April 24th, 2015 2:36 PM Author: Frisky Theater Nah not me man. I'm pretty chill; often to my detriment. I fix their mistakes all the time and do stuff that they should be doing regularly. Rarely give anyone shit and when I do I just tell them about the screw up without harping on them for it. This time I got particularly pissed because (1) I spent over an hour of my own time setting the project up for her in a way that a five year old could understand it, and (2) she has a tendency to not let me finish what I'm saying; cutting me off like, I know I know. So to have the nerve to come in and try to criticize me for having someone come in to help out because she was incapable of doing the work was just ridiculous.

Date: April 24th, 2015 3:07 PM Author: mauve den headpube It's fascinating when I mistakenly wander into staff/secretary drama. Drama is always happening but i very rarely catch a glimpse of it.
It's like the world of the sewer people in Demolition Man. |

Date: April 24th, 2015 3:11 PM Author: Frisky Theater Ha - that's exactly how I feel. Now I'm knee deep in the shit. Annoying as hell because a group of us were supposed to go out for drinks tonight in connection with something that closed last week and she's supposed to be there. Now I want to skip it and avoid the drama but I also don't want to appear bitchmade. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2862714&forum_id=2#27751792) |
