Honestly, where do I even begin? When I first joined TR, it was genuinely a great place—friendly colleagues, caring management, and people who actually listened. Now? It feels like all of that disappeared. I've repeatedly raised serious concerns, including harassment, favoritism, and a work culture that rewards laziness, but nothing ever changes.
Let's tackle the biggest issue first. There's an individual who continuously makes women feel uncomfortable, to the point that some dread coming into work. Multiple women have voiced their concerns repeatedly, and despite numerous "investigations," absolutely nothing happens to him. Because he's an attorney, he's seemingly untouchable. Meanwhile, women who bravely speak up are completely ignored. It's infuriating.
Then there's the issue of laziness. Sure, every workplace has slackers, but TR practically encourages it—as long as you're one of the "favorites." Employees openly spend hours browsing Facebook Marketplace, playing games, or scrolling through inappropriate content on their phones without consequences. Meanwhile, their unfinished work conveniently falls onto the shoulders of employees who actually care. Management not only ignores this behavior but actively micromanages and criticizes the hardworking staff, punishing them harshly for even minor mistakes.
I've pointed out repeatedly that workloads aren't balanced and provided clear evidence—examples, timestamps, and testimonies from others who've also voiced similar complaints. Yet all our efforts vanish into thin air. Senior management talks a big game about how great things supposedly are but consistently makes things worse. Their responses? "There's nothing we can do," "What solution do you want?" or my personal favorite, "Do we really have to go over this again?" They actively hide issues from one of the owners, especially the real reasons behind the high turnover. Even if the owner knew, management would simply retaliate against anyone who raised concerns.
Their recent "Year of the Employee" was honestly just the "Year of the Attorney." Non-attorneys making under $50K got bumped up, but anyone earning more saw nothing. Meanwhile, attorneys received additional perks—more days off, bonuses, and extra benefits. The rest of us? We just got more work.
Attorneys are practically bulletproof here. They can produce poor quality work, slack off, and face zero repercussions. But non-attorneys, especially women, make one small mistake, and suddenly they're labeled as unprofessional, incompetent, and made to feel completely worthless. Male non-attorneys aren't off the hook either, but they're far more likely to dodge consequences, pushing their responsibilities onto others without a care in the world.
Management loves to preach collaboration, yet whenever someone genuinely tries to collaborate, they're immediately reprimanded for "talking too much." They selectively enforce and constantly change SOPs based on convenience, causing confusion and unfairly targeting certain employees. Employees follow instructions from management only to be criticized for not adhering strictly to procedures. It's a no-win situation—some are destined to be reprimanded regardless of what they do.
This workplace has become toxic, exhausting, and incredibly unfair.
