Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jessica Booker" data-source="post: 91974" data-attributes="member: 2672">This is a very personal decision, but if it was me I would raise it with the other equity partner, especially if you frame it in a way that is "I am not happy working here and I am considering not going forward with my TC and he is the reason why". The other partner might not be able to do much, but if you are thinking of leaving anyway, you haven't got anything to lose by having this conversation because at best the situation could be resolved by the other partner (e.g. they could ensure you don't work with the individual going forward).I understand you are doing the LPC route, but the good thing about the SQE route is that you could accumulate some experience with the firm (effectively starting your TC) and then move to another firm if you really couldn't stick it out. It is very difficult to do this on a traditional TC, but the SQE TC gives you much more flexibility to do this where you can accumulate your qualifying work experience with up to four firms. This might give you some ability to see how the start of your TC goes and play it by ear. The only issue with this is that you would need to do SQE stage 2 (you'd be exempt from SQE1 due to completing the LPC).If you were feeling particularly confident (and I know why you might not want to do this) but the other thing to do is to just call out the behaviour to the partner who is saying these things. The next time they call you names or swear tell them you don't appreciate being spoken to like that and that you feel there are better ways that he could provide you with more constructive feedback so you can do better and meet their expectations next time. It is a brave thing to do but actually might be the best way of dealing with it (e.g. head on). If they don't change their behaviour then at least you know you tried to get them to change it by asking them nicely to do so.</blockquote>
