Btw you sound like you were in CAM Delhi?
I am in that rubber room, currently. Look forward to giving notice to the so-called partner (/glorified PA) I report to, after picking up my bonus. Sick of the shit but need to hang in since money isn't abundant at the moment and Lyril has never been the best paymaster anyhow.
A bit concerned that I might get too exasperated and give notice before that thereby losing my bonus. But dekha jaayega.
While we all know law firms aren't employee friendly, CAM is unhealthy for lawyers on a different level. I had immense patience as a human before I lateralled here. A few months in, I became an impatient ball of anxiety. The "money" totally has NOT been worth what my life has become.
Mujhe bhi kehna hai, "i WAS in a rubber room once"
Bacha log, Amarchand brand se sway ho ke CAM mat join karna. Maine galti kari, tum mat karna. Zindagi aisi jhand hogi ki tum sochoge "where did i lose the plot and end up in THIS situation". Go to another firm, make slightly less money if need be - not that CAM is the leading paymaster anyhow - a lakh or two less will be worth the trade off in terms of mental health.
(mod please let this go, he deserves it)

Forget Mr. Sorabjee. As a lawyer, Cyril is NOWHERE close to even his juniors.
