I’m gonna go in hard with a controversial opinion here: saying things like “what the fuck do I pay you for” to your employees is toxic and unprofessional, and the moment my boss would raise their voice to me like that is the moment I’d start looking for a new job.
lawyers are paid to represent their clients. if a lawyer has lost objectivity and can no longer represent their clients needs or achieve the goals set by the client, that lawyer is effectively unemployable by the client.
so the question of “What the fuck do I pay you for if that’s your opinion?” is merited for a lawyer.
however, it is unacceptable for your janitor, your CPA, or your doctor.
Pretty sure the man was hired to drive the point home specifically for less moderation, not more, so him presenting that opinion goes in direct opposition to the wishes of the client he represents.
Doesn’t make it less toxic or unprofessional mind you, but I’d probably have told my counsel to go fuck themselves too if they presented a point that went against my exact wishes
Sure but we aren’t talking about an employee with a shabby salary. The higher the salary the higher the expectations normally are. In other cases with a more vulnerable employees. Hell yea I fully agree.

So do you think the lawyer was right in that steam should be more heavily moderated?
Mind. Taking a big, big leap in actually accepting a third or fourth order account of what actually was said and in what context here.
If the lawyer actually wanted a more heavy handed moderation, I would say that this is a mild reaction.
