[quote=Anonymous]I spent over a decade working at a law firm and being treated terribly by a group of bullies (partners and some associates who were 2-3 years senior to me).  Without going into an incredible amount of detail about how they treated me, let’s just say that they pretty openly mocked me and I cried regularly and only stayed as long as I did because I kept having kids and needed the maternity leave benefits and then didn’t want to jump ship right after maternity leave. I also did search for other jobs and didn’t get offers, and I recall being really upset about a couple of jobs I had hoped to get which were huge pay cuts but I thought would be a good fit in my interest area.

One person who I had worked with at the firm
who was in a different office ended up recruiting me to come with him in-house.  This person saw how mistreated I was by the firm bullies and defended me and ended his client relationship with the main partner who bullied me.  The partner who bullied me lost his shit and basically ruined his reputation by disparaging me so badly that he looked delusional while I sat calmly on the sidelines, saying nothing.

Full circle moment is still happening as my former bullies wish they had me as a client, my salary more than doubled by going in house, I’m treated with respect and value at my new company, I actually work fewer hours than I did at the firm and have more time at home, and I’ve funneled all my outside counsel work to the few people who treated me well while I was at the firm.
