Workplace toxicity cannot be precisely defined but can be categorized mainly into two columns. One is where you are working at a place where the workload is high (everyone has their own definition of high workload); it disrupts your work-life balance. However, nobody says anything bad to you, which causes mental harassment.

The second is where you are working at a place where people say bad things and harass you, but the workload is not that much. Because of the harassment and bad words, it mentally puts you in a place where, even if you work, you get exhausted.

Additionally, multiple combination of these two types can occur. For example, a workplace might both overload you with work and subject you to harassment, or it might harass you only by constantly assigning work without saying bad to you but you are specifically target with all the work.

At the end of the day, it comes down to the capacity of the individual. For example, in a lenient scenario, if your boss loudly says in front of people, "Why are you one minute late in submitting the file?" one person might think, "This is okay; I can’t do anything about it, and it doesn’t affect me mentally." However, another person might feel very upset and be mentally annoyed by this.

So, your mental capacity define if the place is toxic for you or not.

However, scolding or an increased workload can be part of the job, and I have mentioned that it depends on mental capacity but One clear indicator of toxicity is when scolding and an increased workload occur regularly every day, even if your work is correct, and it is taking a mental toll on you regularly and If this pattern is consistent, then it is definitely toxic.

Its a feeling, like a pit in your stomach, like you've ingested something that is ... toxic. All of this happens when you get up to go to work every morning, or in your free time (if you have some), or whenever you are doing something besides working, or meeting the BOSS or whatever else is the source of this toxicity.

My EP asked me to use ChatGPT to generate a list of names for an in-house platform that was being deployed. This process took me 4 hours to complete because none of the 75+ options we generated were good enough for him and at the 2 hour mark he came to stand over my shoulder to micromanage my prompt engineering.

The legal stalwart always changed my response to client's queries from active voice to passive voice and vice-versa (also made grammatical mistake while doing it), as his "review". Never gave any useful input. After an year I figured out that I should not consider his language changes and write however I want as long as it makes sense and it is not against firm's writing style.

i applied on the website and got an internship. i mostly got research work and some basic note drafting work. but talking to other interns also i can say that there was a good mix of tmt work. I worked on liability of social media platforms, dark patterns and some AI and fintech work also. another intern got a lot of data related work. one was constantly complaining about mundane work lol. mostly depends on the team you are allocated i guess.

Leave and go where, buddy? You are only 2 months in. You aren't burnt out, you are just struggling to adapt to your new life. Give it some time.

PS - I don't know what is 'crazy work load' in your books but whatever it is, it only gets worse. It also gets better. These are just phases. If they aren't, you are free to quit but at least get more exposure.

This is a MASSIVE order with global implications.

It is important to consider what kind of practice area you seek- transaction, advisory or policy

Some practices are heavy on transactions but not so much on the others, and it can be boring

Cam and Sam should be avoided, have heard some real bad things about the teams

Kco is relatively up and coming in tmt but the teams are nice- again heresay

Indus is a difficult ship to be in right now

Trilegal is the best in terms of work but say bye bye to any balance

Spiceroutelegal is a lot of PR and no work

Yeah bro firms like Wadia Gandy and C&M also hires more from T2 than T1. T1 NLU kids will break their nuts to get a job there. Fuck T1 law firms. The reason why these firms hire more from T2 is because they don't discriminate based on college and T2 students beat T1 students hands down.

On top of which, there are giveaways in the language that is used. You might often see it (1) using very complex words that wouldn't typically be used naturally by university students; (2) a combination of (1) and a tendency to forget the rule that if you can say something in six or ten words, use the six-word variant; and (3) extensive bullshitting (seeming like it's saying a lot when actually it's saying nothing) along with combination of using overly complex words and/or saying things in a very roundabout or convoluted way.
