Imma one up you, hang on
My wretched homo sapien of a SeNiOr has told me not to be a part of client briefings. Because clients want privacy. I am the one who's effing gonna draft the matter from scratch. And I am not allowed to be in the briefings. So much for privacy huh? I end up drafting without being briefed, only on the basis of documents. Whatever changes are required to be made are because I don't have info beyond the documents in the file. Nothing else, legit.
I am of course looking to change the chambers coz I have no interest in being someone who drafts without being briefed and adjourns because I have no access to the briefs once the matter is filed.
This individual can very happily go looking for someone who'll slog their @$$ of, and tolerate being treated like a runner-chaprasi-cum-steno (that too for personal work)-with added benefits of actual legal drafting and legal research- for chullu payment. Many of this individual's clients think I am the said sEnIOr'S steno/ receptionist. If only they knew that I am the one who actually drafts their matters. No wonder none of the earlier juniors would last long with this individual (got to know this later that most left after barely a few weeks), but have done better after leaving for better places. Had I known this before, I'd legit not have gotten in here. Stay away from the sharks who wanna make you adjournment-specialists. I hope there's a spot in hell reserved for them
Why do they have to treat the junior members poorly as well?
Decency doesn't cost a dime.
Juniors do all the dirty work. Thankless work. And when we have to do their work in the courts between matters, baithne ko bhi jagah nahi dete. Despite the Bar Association membership, no place to do THEIR work. Dafaq? I am literally sitting in a courtroom rn which discharged its board. This is pathetic.
The Delhi food fight must've been at the seniors instigation. I am so jealous of law firm peeps. They at least get compensated in terms of money for the humiliation. They at least have a namesake HR. Litigation is legit slavery for juniors. I fracking want to get out of this hell hole.
