And they were right to leave. It makes one shudder to think that people like that senior both exist and thrive in the world of work.

“And you are a lawyer? I feel sorry for your clients (and your family!).

My best friend’s brother suffered for years from bipolar disorder and experienced psychosis during manic episode”

He’s trolling you, you daft sod. Stop chucking breadcrumbs at him and move on.

This sort of BS is the problem and also an insult to those with genuine mental health issues. Feeling uncomfortable, stressed, anxious etc is not an issue of mental health, it is just life.

The senior proceeded to shout at her and say that it wasn’t possible to have a breakdown, that she (the junior) had not been working long enough to have a breakdown, and that she (the senior) had missed her own father’s funeral because of the job.

That peer of mine left to another firm within a couple of months.

Dear me, Alan, were your feelings hurt? What a snowflake, honestly…

You mean Santa doesn’t exist? 😢

Very easy to resort to ad hominem when your argument lacks substance.

Please do stop lying, and I’m still awaiting that apology.

This is definitely in the 31% “knowledge gaps”. I can barely make sense of the narrative.

having a father who was a solicitor for 30 years who ran a medium size firm in London, iv seen how mental health and work ethics has affected all ages, My father had a break down and was harassed by a client to give her money as she was in debt where he committed fraud and the client took all the money and the police did nothing.. My attempted to end his life multiple times – His partner at the firm asked ‘do I still run the firm?’ I was shocked at that response as it was doing alright – In the end he went to prison and then he retired, He struggled for the last 10 years of his life with money and finding work. I was very angry at him and the client, the justice system and the police.

Pompous narcissist.

You, characteristic of the woke brigade, wilfully have misrepresented me here and provide a false equivalency.

Aside from a lack of evidence the person you refer of being a lawyer, I am of course referring to those who wake up in the morning too lazy to work. What you speak of is a true illness and separate and deserving of treatment and attention.

I do hope you will apologise for this twisting of words, or at the least desist from repeating it.

“mental health mumbo jumbo”? And you are a lawyer? I feel sorry for your clients (and your family!).

My best friend’s brother suffered for years from bipolar disorder and experienced psychosis during manic episode – despite taking medication. He tried to take his own life when he he had to face the consequences of his actions during mania.
You call it mumbo jumbo?

Tell me you’re a boomer without telling me…

Why change something that is not broken?
