Beware of the Boss Man (or Boss Lady) Syndrome

One of the many typical personalities you encounter as a Cog in Big Law Land is Mr. Big Law Boss Man or Ms. Big Law Boss Lady, notes the Snark. Rather than referring to real bosses, these titles are ones that these Big Law lawyers give themselves in their minds, regardless of their actual status as the "boss" of anyone. The Snark likes to think of this as a personality disorder -- Boss Man Syndrome -- and warns Cogs to be wary of those who have it. The Snark helps us spot those who are afflicted.
