Member-only story
In the beginning of my career I was lucky enough to be recruited into a team consisting of different professionals supporting them under various capacities. Majority in the team were lawyers.
It didn’t turn out to be what I had initially expected. Here is what I noticed about lawyers.
- They really just wanna’ be startin’ somethin’
As corporate lawyers hired to protect the interests of the company, they had to peruse numerous boring documents looking for loopholes or ways the contents of these documents touched on the companies operations.
Sometimes there was something. And sometimes there was nothing at all. But this didn’t stop warning letters or numerous other documents to be sent or received. Some completely unnecessary and unwarranted if you ask me.
If there was nothing. They’d start it!
Citing attacks, insinuating discrimination, wanting explanations… very sinister if you ask me.
2.They think they are the smartest people in the room
“Are you arguing with a lawyer?” was the question asked whenever you raised a counter argument to anything they said.
“ You never argue with a lawyer.” was another.
