Description

In this episode, Kathryn interviews Erin Gordon, author of "Look What You Made Me Do", a memoir exposing a toxic culture in a prominent law firm. Erin shares her experience of continuous micro-harassments, personal defamation, and inadequate work allocation, leading to extreme stress and impeding her professional growth. Despite having a strong legal case against the firm, practical difficulties meant she had to endure the environment with minimal improvement.

Highlights

  • Insights on the pressure to stay in big law firms despite negative experiences
  • The turning point when she consulted employment lawyers who advised her to leave the firm
  • The long-term impact on her career, including self-esteem issues, lack of professional growth, and financial loss
  • Erin's realization that she wasn't a bad lawyer, but rather a victim of a system that prioritizes loyalty over individual experiences
