A rookie lawyer reportedly “burned bridges” when he sent an e-mail to his bosses that read “it has become clear that I have as much experience and ability as an associate many years my senior, as much skill writing and a superior legal mind to most I have met” – he was fired shortly after. The lawyer is now suing the firm for $77 million, saying they hurt his career.
