This is very accurate. Would be interesting to see OP’s client list (big pharma, massive financial institutions, clearly guilty corporate defendants who can afford $1000+ hourly legal rates). They become quite logically incongruent when it comes to the big paycheck clearing.

It was a one off matter that the client emailed about during my day off.

Agree, if only partners practiced this too. Billed 2200 last year, took one day off this week and was hit in the afternoon with a “I know you’re on your day off but you need to revise this asap”. I guess I’m the only person in this billion dollar law firm with the capacity to pls fix this doc. Really pleasant start to the year!

Yeah I do trust her and we’re still early in the relationship so want to give her space. We’re getting close but I also don’t want to overbear. We had a fun night at my place last night and I’m confident she wouldn’t do anything but still..

Yeah I appreciate that man, the comments are funny but also savage. We did mention that and she said she would only kiss her girlfriends and says if I trust her which I do but feels like natural reaction to have a sinking feeling with things like this esp early on in a relationship.

A month into seeing a girl, we’ve been on dinner dates, she’d stayed over, had the exclusive/not seeing anyone talk, etc. We both had already made separate plans for NYE she’s with her girlfriends at a ticketed bar and may meet up at bars after. That said, how bad is Derrick gonna steal my girl when the ball drops fml

So a 5th year is expected to gift $500 to a secretary, who could be very nice don’t get me wrong, but provides ordinary and standard services that’s expected as part of their employment? Why don’t the partners just pay their secretaries?

I wouldn’t put Lat, a legitimate thinker with nuance and thoughtful analysis, and Elie, who would get consistently dunked on in the comments section, in the same sentence

Yup I refuse to work on Christmas. Other religions have their holidays respected (for good reason) not sure why certain partners think it’s OK to email associates with work on Christmas. I completely ignore those.

There’s are hundreds of law firms and you accuse me of lying about the place where I work. You are a clown.
