An elite summer associate at Sidley Austin was reportedly fired after repeatedly biting coworkers during her internship, a story so surreal it feels ripped from late-night satire. Multiple legal outlets and workplace sites documented the episode, and insiders say the behavior stretched across weeks before decisive action was taken.
Reports conflict on the exact tally, with some accounts saying five people were bitten and others claiming the number reached double digits; even a human resources representative was allegedly on the receiving end. Colleagues described the bites as more than an awkward quirk and said the conduct left visible marks and real concern among staff.
This isn’t just a bizarre office anecdote — it’s a symptom of a culture that increasingly rewards performative “quirkiness” over basic professionalism. Hardworking Americans who clock in, follow rules, and treat others with basic decency deserve workplaces where common sense and respect are nonnegotiable, not places where childish behavior is excused as personality.
What’s worse is the way institutions handled the matter: alarm bells apparently rang for weeks while insiders debated the optics and potential fallout before the firm finally acted. That hesitation reflects a broader rot in elite institutions that prioritize PR and sensitivity training over protecting employees and enforcing clear standards.
Conservative patriots should see this episode for what it is — an indictment of a generation and a set of institutions that have lost their moral compass. When manners and accountability are treated as optional, the result is chaos that ordinary Americans pay for in safety, efficiency, and trust.
The remedy is simple and straightforward: restore discipline, demand personal responsibility, and refuse to tolerate behavior that endangers coworkers or undermines workplace order. Our country was built on standards and self-reliance, and if our firms and universities won’t enforce those values, citizens must insist on consequences and common sense once more.
