Rant – Immigration Paralegal Drama

So for context I am a (23yo F), I work as an immigration paralegal at a law firm owned by my uncle. So Ive been here for about 1yr give or take ive been given a raise once. HOWEVER, signing up for this position i was never told how shitty and backed up the section I was being assigned to was. Im not talking a week or two, but months of backed up deadlines. As of lately my boss has been on my ass about how Im “not living up to my potential” or giving him enough work. Hes also also putting the blame on me for them not having been able to build the new office building, due to the fact that the woman whos position im supposed to eventually take, doesnt have enough free time to work on that. Many of times ive been put down by him.…

So Ive been here for about 1yr give or take ive been given a raise once. HOWEVER, signing up for this position i was never told how shitty and backed up the section I was being assigned to was. Im not talking a week or two, but months of backed up deadlines. As of lately my boss has been on my ass about how Im “not living up to my potential” or giving him enough work. Hes also also putting the blame on me for them not having been able to build the new office building, due to the fact that the woman whos position im supposed to eventually take, doesnt have enough free time to work on that. Many of times ive been put down by him. I currently am working in a make shift desk (the extension of the desk of the lady i previously mentioned) about 2×4 space with a laptop. they refuse to give me my own space to work in, their excuse being “all the mistakes i make on my application drafts”. Now i love what i do but i feel overwhelmed and overworked, plus they have given me so much shit about the couple of hours i missed to sign up for fall semester, leading me to understand theyd never be supportive of my studies .

And NOW theyre rewarding one of the most laziest paralegals with her own desk in the lawyers section just because she came on on labor day…

What are yalls thoughts? Im calling this bullshit .. Im already on the lookout for a new job but this is infuriating
