I’m a junior associate in a small team of a v20 firm. One mid-level associate LOVES asking me where stuff is saved even though we have a pretty intuitive and simple folder structure. They sometimes even ask for the same documents multiple times, I mean I literally emailed you its location last week? They would also ask for emails on which they were copied (and sometimes I was not) exchanged just a few days ago.
Basically I’m doing email and file management for them. Either because they don’t know a single thing about the system or simply don’t give a damn about others’ time.
This is killing me and really disrupts my train of thoughts. I’ve been absolutely swamped for the past few months. I just don’t have the time, 10 minutes here and there really add up. I feel like their personal assistant rather than a junior. No one in the team does that at all. What do I do? Should I raise this with them or someone more senior? Or is it just how being a junior is?
