i’m a paralegal for an insurance defense firm, and you’d think i’d be busy… nope. i literally have nothing to do. some days i have zero emails, so i scroll through reddit, text, or watch tik toks until 5. it’s very soul sucking and i hate it. i commute 60 miles a day, 5 days a week because they won’t let us do any work from home anymore. so i’m sitting in my car for an hour (one way) to sit in my crappy desk chair for 9 hours.
one of the attorneys called me into his office last week and told me he’s noticed i’m not doing anything. but it’s not like i want to sit around. i have ADHD and hate sitting still without something to focus on. i told him straight up that i’ve gone around the office and asked the other attorneys and legal assistants if they need help with something and they all say no, including him. then he just sat there and looked at me because he didn’t know what to say. like wtf?? i shouldn’t even have to ask my own employer for shit to do.
atp i might just say fuck it and walk out lol.
