      He didn't have to deal with it. The firm I worked for was quite large and covered various specializations. I was a paralegal in estate planning. He was in… corporate contracts? Something like that. Even if he was the EP attorney he wouldn't have to make the calls I did. You ever have to tell a 90 year old woman that her husband died without a will because your firm is incompetent? I have, among many more great hits of COVID. Yay trauma dumping!

        I worked at an insurance company through covid, so literally yes. It’s not fun and I try not to think about it too long. I was luckily able to quit after about a year and a half, I hope you get out soon.

          Yay! More bearers of shit and misery news! There are dozens of us! Actually, probably way more given the size of the industries…

          I got out a while back. Inherited a bit of money, took some time off. Unfortunately getting back in is proving impossible, so joy all around I guess.
