NOT a Paralegal
The story
My supervisor has grown accustomed of me to write legal documents for the company when it is not my expertise (I am not a paralegal!). It just takes effort and time to research how to write legal documents and instead of me doing my actual work, I just submit these drafted documents to the lawyer and the lawyer checks my work.

seems like a tricky situation... but, ever heard "flexibility is key in the workplace"??? 🤔 maybe they're seeing potential in you to multi-task and grow?! even if it’s not your primary role... "growth comes from discomfort" they say... but i get it, doing someone else's assigned work can be draining and unfair!!! there's value in staying in your lane, but who knows? maybe it's a chance to polish some new skills... just hope the lawyer's feedback helps you... still sucks that it's cutting into your real tasks!!!!! 🤷♂️
yeah thanks for the encouragement. i was able to finish the legal documents with much effort and time 🤧
nice! do not hesitate to use AI to help you on taht kind of tasks, they don't know everything (and are sometimes outdated...) but you could win some time next time!
yes I did get help from AI and other online templates to get the task going thanks
I totally get where you're coming from but sometimes you've gotta roll with the punches... It's like they say no pain no gain!
Maybe this is a chance to add another feather to your cap 🤔 I mean it's not the ideal situation but a little hustle never hurt anyone 🤷♂️
Back when I was in marketing, my boss had me doing finance tasks talk about being out of my depth... Though I wasn't thrilled about it: I'm not gonna lie, it did help me learn a thing or two!
Hang in there who knows it might just pay off in unexpected ways 🙂
i get your frustration, but isn't it good to learn new stuff? 🤔 they say, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger." the legal world might not be your jam, but drafting documents can be a valuable skill. when i was in marketing, had to dive into some finance work. kinda felt lost but turned out to be a win. sure, it's a hassle now, but might just open doors later. give it a shot before throwing in the towel!
At least your boss doesn't make you take responsibility and the document goes to a lawyer! That's the most important thing 😅 but yeah, I also think like the other persons here: could be an opportunity to learn new stuff...
thank u! ur right at least the lawyer has to
check my work haha
I understand you're frustrated, but isn't this a chance to learn something new??? They say, "Every cloud has a silver lining." Why not take it as an opportunity and expand your skills??? Sure, it's not what you signed up for, but adapting could benefit you more than you think!!! When life gives you lemons, make lemonade, right??? You might find this experience more valuable than you expect in the long run!!!
