Don’t be a hater man. So many of these people being snide about the watch hobby are those NLU high performers who “joined litigation because it’s pure law” while looking down on those who joined corp firms. Now at the college reunions, they get salty when they see the corp guys wearing Omegas, driving a C-class, while they’re all on Android phones and driving Cretas if they’re lucky.
Honestly, this isn't the worst. The kid has family money, they're happy to spend it seems like.
But the travesty is when middle class kids burn their way through A1-A3, SA1-SA3 by spending beyond their means, all to put on a show.
At the junior levels, it seems to be Apple products, foreign holidays, and wardrobe. As they go up, they seem to embrace this watches and cars scene. I see so many with poor savings, blowing everything on rent, dining out, and consumer durables, and other "experiences". It's all very sad.
Getting embroiled in every money laundering, shell company leaks, getting your son onto the Supreme Court bench who delivers useless judgements, become a law minister, getting away with raping interns, asking your son to choose the firm or company they want to work with, saying lies that go into court records when even the judge knows it cannot be true, getting anyone accused of literally anything out of jail etc.
When work demands no intelligence, no merit, no thinking abilities, no quantitative rigour, sometimes even no law degree at all (Class XII passed office clerks do better than Junior Associates), it is bound to happen.
hahah what a story man, I feel bad, but it's ironic how in the profession of law employers choose to give inequitable proportions of wage to the employees and cover it up as "experience". The kanjoos attitude increases the higher echelon of lawyers you go to.
atleast 10k minimum wage would be acceptable, better yet give nothing, this guy treated you like a kindergartener and humiliated you in a way that is just next level, i dont think a person can recover from this trauma, you will always be scared of the next paycheck hoping you dont get a dairy milk bar subconsiously, even the sweet shops will be a pain
A noted Senior Advocate has a collection of some of the most expensive paintings and cars that money can buy. I interned with him. On the last day, he told me: "Your work was very good. I would like to give you something." I was wondering how much the cheque would be worth. Rs 50K? 1 lakh? But instead of giving me a cheque he gave me a small Dairy Milk bar. The Rs 20 one. I was literally in tears and complained to my parents. Instead of giving me sympathy, my dad said: "Smart man. That's how he affords those paintings and cars." 😑

Paper pushing, corruption intermediary and misplaced comma finding...
Buying a Maybach?
Flying first class and staying at the world's most expensive hotels?
Wearing a diamond-studded Rolex?
Lap dances by Russian escorts?
Spill the beans...
