Workplace Crisis: Legal Documents

The other day my one Greek student who’s a lawyer was apologizing for when I gave him a phone call to confirm a lesson that day, that he was brusque.

As he explained it, a co-worker had come into his office and gone “bananas” not only because of some unexpected legal action by drug companies in their class action case against them for over-marketing opioids, but also because of some reporter for a national publication calling them for documents on top of that, and just as he was thinking, “That Greek lesson is *not* going to happen today,” I called.


“Funny thing is, too,” he was like, “That reporter, we call him about the documents, and he had been in a bike accident and was just out of surgery, and he was on opioids!”
