OK just found out some info -- apparently, the intervention that was rescheduled for this Wednesday (which, I was informed I was going to be held in my absence as I was subsequently scheduled to be in Court that afternoon) is no longer going to happen -- the writing is on the walls -- there will never ben an intervention nor will anything change


Why would they change. He wants
everybody gone who's not his slave.
He's a partner.

Partner in name only
He is not an equity partner (meaning he did not buy into the firm nor does he receive a share fo the profits) -- apparently, he takes the owner into putting his name on the door as a marketing move - he claimed people would be more inclined to hire the firm if his namer was on the door -- plus, he is probably the owner's illegitimate son and all

I mean, what's his incentive to change.
I you leave he'll just find somebody
he can order around. One of you has
to change, and you know it won't be him.
He has no reason to change.

Earlier, the Owner called another attorney and me into his office to discuss some research we did on Friday -- apparently, he said it was "embarrassing" in that the research did not apply to what he envisioned our legal strategy to be (meanwhile, this brief would have never become necessary had Owner listened to me 4 months ago when I told him his strategy of withholding certain evidence in an effort to use it as a "surprise" was going to backfire - which it did as we lost the case and now have to appeal)

Now, some more info pertinent to my earlier post regarding the Owner telling the other attorney and I that our research was "embarrassing" -- well, if you remember from Friday, the protege was left in charge of this brief --- word on the street is that the protege told the Owner that he thought the research was poorly done, despite having never dealt with the case at all -- so, the puppet master is flexing his "muscles" in retaliation to our complaints about him


Owner is riding my a** today — so far everything I have worked on for him has been, in his opinion, “wrong” — even paragraphs he dictated, forgot he did so, and are now deemed "wrong" have been blamed on me

Hostile. Work. Place.

I hope you are writing it down. It may be a year or two, but you may well wish you did. The problem with lies that don't get corrected is, they can bite you in the ass years later, a long ways away. Your reputation precedes you to the next place of employment. At least it did in my simple business, so I presume it does in yours?

Reputation is everything in a business that advertises by word of mouth. The protege is potentially harming your future livelihood, whereas he doesn't need to just to remove you. That makes this hostile and predatory, imo.
The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW

Hostile workplace is only a claim if the hostility is based upon race, gender, religion or age

Blame the protege
