I lost all respect for an attorney I worked with when I saw that his LinkedIn was just covered with DeSantis/Abbott praise during COVID. The firm I was with did estate planning. We were so swamped in estate planning and probate (meaning a client had died) we had to bring on multiple new people to handle the caseload.
And this motherfucker was totally onboard with anti-mask garbage.
So I guess LinkedIn KIND OF works in that it tells you who the idiots are.
I see that as a win. You saved yourself the heartbreak of learning about your attorney's rancid viewpoints much later into your relationship with him.
I've had similar experiences. I've gotten to see how terrible some of the recruiters/managers I've dealt with actually are, and was able to dodge any long-lasting engagement with them.
I don’t mean to be too cynical, but it sounds like anti maskers were good for his business
He didn't have to deal with it. The firm I worked for was quite large and covered various specializations. I was a paralegal in estate planning. He was in... corporate contracts? Something like that. Even if he was the EP attorney he wouldn't have to make the calls I did. You ever have to tell a 90 year old woman that her husband died without a will because your firm is incompetent? I have, among many more great hits of COVID. Yay trauma dumping!
I worked at an insurance company through covid, so literally yes. It’s not fun and I try not to think about it too long. I was luckily able to quit after about a year and a half, I hope you get out soon.
Yay! More bearers of shit and misery news! There are dozens of us! Actually, probably way more given the size of the industries...
I got out a while back. Inherited a bit of money, took some time off. Unfortunately getting back in is proving impossible, so joy all around I guess.
