Maria, how wonderful to be a mentor, I'm sure that w/ you not having had a mentor, that you are able to be an even better one!

Chatty, I believe why the firm tolerates such behavior is b/c they are afraid she will sue them and she consistently threatens such -- she gives people the finger when the pass, calls the names, degrades, etc. As she would say, "its just awful!" -- that's her favorite saying to get out of doing work!
