So I started my career at a law firm, wherein, I have put in about 2.6 years worth of work. My experience lies in the fields of GC and TMT, however, I had a rude boss and moreover he was downright abusive. I completely lost my mind at the end of 2.6 years and thereafter called it quits. I, nevertheless, liked practice and I'm looking for better places to work at. Whilst my time apart, I have come to the realization that, the abuse was not justified at all. ( Well, it never really is.) Do you think, in your opinion (contributors opinion), that I may do something about this? May I file a formal complaint against the respective person with the BCI, under the grounds of moral turpitude (mental harassment... etc), or it just simply isn't worth the hassle and that moving on and hoping for better pastures - is my only option?
Do give me your side of experiences and genuine opinions, considering this is a platform that is, 'all anonymous'.
Looking forward!
