An intern at a prestigious Manhattan law firm was reportedly let go after displaying some bizarre behavior. It seems this summer associate at Sidley Austin started off her first day by both biting and screaming at fellow colleagues.
According to reports, her actions during work have been described as chaotic, rather than outright aggressive. Some compared her behavior to a quirky character from a movie, blending a carefree vibe with an unexpected twist.
Sources indicate that she might have bitten as many as ten people, including interns, associate lawyers, and even a human resources representative at the firm’s office on Seventh Avenue. It’s surprising, really—the kind of situation that most wouldn’t imagine would happen in a corporate environment.
One insider commented that they had noticed colleagues wearing long sleeves, likely as a defensive measure against the intern’s unusual habit.
Images circulating online have shown visible bruises, implying the extent of the bites. While the firm has not publicly addressed the incident, those in the know have claimed that the intern only nibbled on five employees, suggesting perhaps that the situation has been exaggerated in online discussions.
One Reddit user, who claimed to have witnessed the events at Sidley, expressed sympathy for the intern, noting the importance of considering mental health issues and the potential fallout from such actions. They mentioned it was a, well, reckless choice that led to serious consequences for her.
Interestingly enough, Barack and Michelle Obama famously crossed paths in 1988 at the Sidley Austin headquarters in Chicago. The firm operates 21 offices around the globe and specializes in a variety of complex legal matters, including crisis management and litigation.
