And it's stupid. Read the f*ing memo. The words are the same. Unless I change them. Which I might just to spite the person who can't do it correctly.
Seriously this is a new lateral. And if you ask around, this perspon hasn't been pleasant to anyone here. Secretary, receptionist, word processing, paralegals - they all hate this person already. I didn't know how bad it was because I was working on another project until yesterday. And now I know why these people are talking behind this person's back. What the hell makes a new person feel like they can just push people around? It's not like they're a partner or anything.

My experience, albeit limited, is that if someone thinks they can push you around, and you let them, they will. Find a delicate way to nip this in the bud if you can. If you're not afraid of any adverse job consequences from pissing off this lateral associate, you could always tell this person to fuck off. Or claim that your time is being dominated by your champion partner/senior associate, etc., and that this person's work will have to be at the bottom of the queue. Good luck.
