By After quite a bit of prodding from Netflix, I finally started watching/binge watching Suits. I’m somewhere in season 7 and almost done. Thank goodness. Suits is a soap opera. I was expecting this to be a realistic portrayal of a law firm. If there was this much drama and dysfunctionality at any company, nobody would work there. Their GlassDoor rating would be abysmal. Speaking of which, this is a fun review to read.
I’m not a fan of Mike Ross either. He and Harvey don’t think rules apply to them, which really grates on my nerves. It also is rather annoying that everyone is giving each other their word and then going back on their word constantly. In real life, this level of distrust would cause any relationship to fail.
My big ‘what’ moment was last night. Louis Litt was kvetching that no one respected him in a therapy session. His therapist turned it around on him and suggested that his feelings of disrespect were internal. Louis didn’t respect himself and projected those feelings onto others. Do you think that is true?
I immediately jumped to the narrative I had for the last NN years where I worked, where I felt I was undervalued. I don’t want to overanalyze the situation again. My conclusion is that while I added value, I was subtly (or maybe not subtly) being pushed out. Having been in management before, I’m aware of the signs. It was just hard to see them being directed at me. Suffice it to say that my decision to leave was still the correct decision. I still have friends there and I feel a twinge of nostalgia, but I am in a much much better place now. Moved on. Not looking back.
My final thought – Do you think Meghan Markle used those same lines from Suits on Harry? I can’t watch her without that thought popping into my mind.
Binge watching is unhealthy! I need to get off Netflix and get outside. Now!
