My supervisor asks me to go out speak to x (who is female) woman to woman because x is fucking useless.
He tells me that he made y (a senior female lawyer) sit by the door because he didn’t like her.
He tells his friend the partner is taking the male trainee out for lunch. He says “maybe he senses we don’t like this one” and points to me.
Every time the make trainee walks in the room he says “here’s the lad!” And “I can’t give you any work because I have to give it to her” and points at me.
He makes me run around doing Stupid tasks for him instead of giving me actual legal work. Such as calling a female lawyer who is off sick and demanding that she gives us tax advice. He doesn’t stick up for me and say he made me do this when her male boss emails me telling me not to disturb his associates when they are unwell.
I am unhappy and cry. He tells me “if you can’t hack it he heat get out of the kitchen”.
He constantly talks about the football with his male colleague as he knows I can’t join in.
Male partner (his boss) sits me down for a chat. He tells me “I really admire my daughter. She’s smart, intelligent, ambitious, capable, super competitive but it’s really hard to be tough on a person’s behaviour when they are just the same as you”. Why do I feel as though I am being told off when it’s my supervisors behaviour that is the problem.
