Leaked emails used to be the go-to choice for public shaming, but now people have taken the means of production into their own hands and just pump their inside thoughts straight onto social media.
It was like the good old days when a bunch of Linklaters lads copied a female partner into their sweet bantah about football. But Twitter was the forum of choice for toe-curling comms in 2017. In the most cringe-inducing story of the year a law student's mum overshared her pride, and her fury when he didn't get a vac scheme place at Freshfields.
Twitter was also the chosen venue for a Magic Circle trainee's candid diary. RollOnFriday redacted her name, but looks forward to the day when juniors are not afraid of being censured for talking openly about the late nights of City law, and the Jay Z sex dreams.
Others should definitely have kept it buttoned up, however, like the law firm salesman who had an expletive-laden meltdown on Facebook. And the firm which threatened a woman with jail for her one star Trip Adviser review. LinkedIn remained an excellent boudoir for Ego to mate with Guff and produce a child called My Horrid Opinion, as exemplified by the legal costs lawyer who called a woman a "waste of skin" and, later, made homophobic remarks.
Firms struggled to keep their internet pipes from springing a leak. An organisation to which Trowers & Hamlins belongs not only made its confidential data visible to everyone, but allowed any old idiot to delete it and replace entries with 'Your Mum'. RollOnFriday knows because it was the any old idiot that did it.
And DLA Piper was crippled by a malware attack. Staff were offered free massages to deal with the stress of a screenless day.
