Community Management/Announcements We are now OPEN!

8 Upvotes

Fellow paralegals, we are now a public subreddit! Us mods will be heavily moderating to ensure that this will continue to be an exclusive place for paralegals/legal assistants to post and comment, without irrelevant topics or people asking about the career and becoming a paralegal constantly. We are so excited to go on this journey with you! Check out the rules, new post flairs, etc as well. We will be continuing to flesh out the sub over the coming weeks to put together a great community for you all. Special thanks to my fellow mods for all their work to help get this going! I’m so excited to move forward with this! If anyone has any questions, comments, suggestions regarding anything whatsoever including rule modifications, requests for specific dev tools or other things, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us either by mod mail or posting - I want to ensure we are always here for you guys as this is not a sub where the mods are lofty and greater than thou - we are part of the community and understand without the community, no sub is possible. ❤️

Happy posting!

Rant/Story You fucked up on your pro se divorce and suddenly it is an emergency that boss unfuck your pro se divorce.

5 Upvotes

I'm sorry, boss cant review your pro se divorce documents fthat you fucked up or free when she is actively in court.

Also, cherry on the cake - "well, i think I should go with an attorney more experienced in divorce".

🙄

You mean 40 years of experience just isnt enough? And over 300 divorces in that 40 years isnt enough?

Girl, bye.

Hi folks! It’s that time again! How are we doing this week? Any questions, comments, shares, rants? Post them here!

Things are good here - took a weeklong vacation Labor Day week and it was so nice. Luckily nothing huge at work that the other paralegals could not handle while I was gone! We’re also modernizing our DMS! And partners are coming to me for help on substantive work for huge cases and I’m really proud of that! I also get to teach a CLE to the firm soon about proper utilization of paralegals, so I’m pretty stoked on that!

I did trip on the stairs last week though at a hotel and sprained both ankles and my left knee. I hate being a klutz. But thankfully nothing broken and it’s starting to feel better now! And doesn’t impact much since I work remotely anyway. Haha

What about you?

Also - we hit 200 members!!! Welcome everyone! 😊 I believe we are set up so that everyone can create their own user flair, but let me know if you want me to create any new ones for you!!!

... seriously. To pay yourself???

Didn't specify an amout nor did they cite a statutory basis, which is beside the point.

Anywho, how has everyone else's week been?

Performance Improvement Plan

7 Upvotes

So I’m a family law paralegal out of California working fully remote. I know I’m capable of good work, and have made improvements to this firm. I struggle heavily with ADHD, I’ve been missing emails and other things. I just got on Vyvanse recently but it fucks up my sleep.

My attorney went to court yesterday and didn’t have what she needed. I feel awful and it’s not something I usually do.

I want to stay with this firm. I really like them. Does anyone have any advice on how to remember everything? Especially when ex partes pop up?

My brain feels so fuzzy sometimes and like I just don’t know how to address that.

We are back in control of the sub! Happy weekend! How was everyone’s week? Anything to get excited about? How about rants/vents? Anything you’d like to share, post it here!

For me, my attorneys reached a settlement for millions of dollars representing plaintiff in a case I’ve been working on for years, at the trial right before the jury was impaneled!! it was great result and the client is ecstatic! I did a ton of work on this very intricate state court fraud case and I’m so stoked! This week has been nuts though, they hired a part time paralegal but because I’ve been so overwhelmed with work lately I haven’t even been able to train her. Sigh.

We’re still not added back as mods and still no response from Reddit, but wanted to get this posted so anyone who has anything they want to share can post. This has been an incredibly frustrating experience, supposedly I’m stuck in an admin queue and I can’t get it back through Reddit request for another week and a half because they requested to mod another subreddit with my account while I was hacked and you can only request once every 15 days 😭 but anyway how is everyone doing? Anything you’d like to share? Ready for another work week?

FYI guys there are spam accounts that have taken over as mods in the span of 24 hours after my account was hacked, so we have no control over the sub at the moment. I’ve reached out to Reddit support for help. Bear with us for the time being while we get this figured out.
