I worked for a big (small town) law firm in the south suburbs of Chicago and man, this guy was a asshole. He was like a red faced, dandruff speckled walrus, who would yell at you in front of a lobby full of people if you simply didn't hear him the first time. One time after typing up a letter by dictation (he would record tasks onto a small recorder), and I forgot to put the word 'or' into a sentence. So in front of a full lobby, he whipped the paper at me, made me pick it up when it landed on the floor, and told me how rediculous I was, followed by him shaking his head and going 'pfffft.' Another time he told me I could only go to the bathroom twice a day. Telling me, a grown woman, working in an office, that I was limited to two bathroom breaks a day. He thought I was going to the bathroom to 'text' when realstically, I just pee a lot because I drink a lot of water and such. I texted at my desk when need be, and not in the bathroom, thank you very much. I put up with this wooly mammoth for almost 4 months before I finally couldn't take it anymore and walked out one day. All the lawyers that worked there were rude and were always looking there noses down at me like I was a slave rather then an employee. Call me a baby, but I would cry in the bathroom every morning at that place. It was the most belittling, horrible, place I've ever worked, and I have worked A LOT of places. Red Lobster, Buffalo Wild Wings, 2 factorys (paper packing and candy packing), Cracker Barrel, Monicals Pizza (twice), An appliance store office clerk, McDonalds, Menards, TGIF's, Beef 'O Brady's, Barnes and Nobles cafe, and JC Pennysin no particular order, and my current job, a consulting office for a carribean medical university (which I like very much, not love, but very much like) Best Job-Buffalo Wild Wings. Anyone who has ever been in one knows that's it just a fun place. Working there is no different. It was about a half hour away from my home town, so I made about 30 new friends, and worked my way up from a waitress to a trainer in about 6 months. It was great. I still miss that place. I was 19 though, it's a good paying job when your still living with mom and dad, but not on your own. Worst – A Lawfirm.
