[QUOTE="BigThrowaway, post: 91909, member: 18027"] Hi guys, I have recently been offered a Training Contract at a firm in London. I have worked there for three months now as a paralegal, having finished my LPC in July. Problem is, one of the partners is the most awful and rude person I have ever met. He constantly derides me and regularly tells me I’m a F****** idiot. He will look for absolutely any opportunity to bollock me and specifically does it when there isn’t anybody around to witness it. I’d love to be able to just brush it off, but I can’t. I genuinely feel sick at the prospect of having to work with him. Everybody at the firm knows how difficult he can be, but for some reason he is so much worse with me and I am hating every day. Should I just walk away before I commit to the TC? I appreciate how lucky I am but the prospect of the next 2 years working with him just seems like something I can’t get through. Surely it’s better to leave now than stick it out? Further to this, it will then mean that I have lasted only 3 months in my first legal job which won’t look great on my CV… I’d love your thoughts or if any of you have experienced the same thing. Everybody else at the firm is lovely, but it’s a small team and often there will just be 2 or 3 people in the office. Thanks for your help! [/QUOTE]
