If this is a document you're seeing first time in your life, 9 hours isn't enough. You need time to look up the applicable law and understand concepts.
I am sure that much greater things are in the pipeline for you. All the best!
Interestingly, I worked with 4 other associates who never had a problem with my work or emails. I got a callback and decided to change my team.
I’m currently interning at a firm where I’ve noticed a concerning behavior. Whenever I ask associates for work, some of them laugh it off. Recently, one associate sent me a 237-page document very late, leaving me just 9 hours to review it. I couldn’t complete it within that unreasonable timeframe, and the next day, he called me out and laughed about it in front of others.
Am I truly at fault here, or was the timeline simply unrealistic? I’d really appreciate your honest guidance.
