This is the story of a group of lawyers who messed up really badly at their jobs, and it's such a satisfying read. U/Villageidiot1984 shared their favorite legal goof, which just so happens to be for their family member, a lawyer at a law firm.
Being a lawyer seems like an incredibly difficult job. For example, you have to read so many papers and facts, and then remember them while you're defending your client. You'll work long hours before a case. You've got to be able to speak in front of a judge, and you cannot cry or tell them they're being mean. You just have to accept the way they treat you, as a professional does. Then, you have cases you just won't win, and while you can appeal them, it must be frustrating to work so hard only to lose your case.
However, if you've got the talent and drive to become a lawyer, you can be very well compensated for your efforts. This person's family member also wanted to be a law firm partner, aka the most prestigious role that basically every lawyer hopes to achieve at some point. He didn't get that, but he got something a lot better instead.
While we're on the topic of workplace whoopsies, this boss made his new hire quit in just 45 minutes.
