I have been working as a paralegal for over six months now and am very unhappy despite having just secured a training contract. Everyone expects me to know exactly what to do and I have had no proper training. When I get things wrong my employers are unsupportive and not willing to help.
I have started to dread work and am not sure how to make the situation better. I work hard and long hours and am always polite and determined to do well. I also feel that the atmosphere encourages office politics, with other trainees jockeying for position and looking to put others down in what has become a tense, unpleasant atmosphere.
