Why do in house lawyers have such giant chips on their shoulders
Poast new message in this thread

Date: July 29th, 2025 12:24 PM Author: blathering library There's a wierd dynamic with in-housemos and law firmmos.
Lawfirmmos are used to being bossed around and treated like trash by their clients. And they normally happily bend over and take it.
But when the "client" bossing them around is another lawyer, often one who makes much less money and/or is less prestigious, it bothers the law firmmo to have to bend over and get fucked in the ass with a smile. |

|
Date: July 29th, 2025 1:34 PM Author: floppy mentally impaired persian set in both threads i tried to signal that i have no antipathy toward firmmos, you're only interpreting that as gloomy or superior evolution (lol) because you are emotional and defensive. and the reason for that is obvious.
it's just a lifestyle choice. the work is essentially the same. why can't i just say "id rather have less hours and stress than more money" and you say "id rather work more and earn more" and leave it at that? |

|
Date: July 29th, 2025 2:20 PM Author: Lavender Shitlib Headpube What a bizarre description. What "chip" could we possibly have? In-house people are overwhelmingly happy we no longer bill hours but we have to keep law firm lawyers from running up the bill by putting 4+ people on calls or letting people pad hours. Otherwise, we pay you money to do specific work. You never actually talk to our clients except in a few limited litigation scenarios, so it isn't like we're worried that you'll somehow upstage us. Our jobs have remarkably little in common.
Every once in a while you'll see an in-house lawyer go to a firm but it is a once in a blue moon event. 99% of in-house lawyers are thrilled that they're in-house and not biglaw. |

Date: July 29th, 2025 3:24 PM Author: floppy mentally impaired persian set why can't firmmos itt just shrug and say "different strokes for different folks?" why is it so important for you to think we're just coping?
biglaw continues to struggle retaining talent. my biglol bros always bitch about zoomer work ethic and how we had no leverage coming up post ite. any inhousemo at a f500 could go back to biglol, the same cannot be said for all biglolyers. why wouldn't we just go back to biglol if we were secretly seething with envy? |

|
Date: July 29th, 2025 3:37 PM Author: floppy mentally impaired persian set "why do inhousemos have such a chip on their shoulder?"
"im happy and all my colleagues are."
"cope more burnout"
you've made up your mind inhousemos are seething because your ego is tied to your job, and people who could have it but don't want it devalues it and makes you emptional. so you dismiss people claiming they're happy (u mad!) and nonpersonal arguments (tldr!). |

Date: July 29th, 2025 3:41 PM Author: Razzle casino you conveniently left out the part where the dood denied having a chip before he launched into his defensive spiel about how 180 his life is. it would make sense if he wants to explain the chip on that basis, but this lack of even rudimentary self-awareness is the point of the thread. relatedly, your poor reading comp helps explain the generalized distrust of in-house counsel competence that underlies the entire conversation.

|
Date: July 29th, 2025 3:44 PM Author: appetizing flushed sound barrier That's what was so funny. The pumo that started this subthread obviously has a huge chip on his shoulder, as evinced by his need to emphasize that in house lawyers are better people doing better work and are extremely happy with their choices (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5755963&forum_id=2).#49140820) |
|
Date: July 29th, 2025 3:48 PM Author: Lavender Shitlib Headpube Our work is different. We're better at the work we do, which is to be expected. I provided concrete evidence that we're happy with our choices (if we weren't, law firms would be flooded with resumes from in-house lawyers, which they're not). In general, people that choose to have actual work-life balance and spend time with their family and friends and have irl hobbies are objectively "better people" than people who live to bill so they can maximize their shekels. That said, we're all lawyers and therefore we're all objectively shitty people.

Date: July 29th, 2025 4:08 PM Author: floppy mentally impaired persian set first you criticize me for writing too much and now you're criticizing me for leaving something out trying to get my point across in fewer words.
you've given up even trying to engage in good faith. and lol at launching adhoms about retarded scuffling on xo and what that says about in-house work generally.
ultimately this thread is about attitudes inhouse and if you're primed to reject multiple poasters saying "im happy and my colleagues are" what else can i say? i can't put you inside my head to prove its how i feel so we're at an impasse.
it's 4pm and i just got home. scuffling on xo was 90% of my workday. |

Date: July 29th, 2025 3:30 PM Author: Lavender Shitlib Headpube Whenever we have an opening we get flooded with law firm people. We generally prefer people from in-house (for a bunch of reason). People in-house almost never leave for firms (as you noted). That speaks for itself.
I think it is the biglaw culture. Everything at firms is some dick measuring contest. "I billed X hours! I'm a ROCKSTAR!" People who act like that in-house get told to curb their enthusiasm and if they don't they get sent packing. Ultimately, biglaw people are just miserable people trying to act cheerful. Ergo, thread like this. And to my earlier point about preferring people already in-house? Yes, this cultural disparity is one reason for that. |

tbf i get it. most of us came in as true believers and accepting that all the time and energy was only ever about inflating a time sheet is tough to swallow. especially if you're locked in golden handcuffs. firms purposefully stoke competitiveness and the value of their work to incentivize them to continue billing. its a cult like mentality, which is why they react so strongly when the cult dogma is threatened. |

Mandy is a direct report to the CLO. The company is smaller but not sure why you think that salary is remarkable. |

Lol at a "direct report" to the CLO of her shitbank with 100 employees.
Remarkable? When did I ever say it is remarkable? You and Mandy have been in law for 20 years and you have never once scratched at what I made as a midlevel associate years ago. |
|
Date: July 30th, 2025 10:55 AM Author: Lavender Shitlib Headpube No, you obviously don't. You didn't even know that AGC is Director level here.
Yeah, it has 100 employees. Totally.
Is this based on the alternative universe where we make $115k or something?

Date: July 30th, 2025 11:03 AM Author: Lime prole ratface this whole thread is amazing in proving exactly OPs point.
You could not last more than 11 months in biglaw. Your only dream in this world was to work biglaw. You fantasized about it. We all remember. And you got canned after 11 fucking months, never to return. Back to biglaw? No. Back to school, literally more school, only to get "JD advantage" roles.
So you have concocted this laughable story about how all along what you really wanted to do was to work in midlevel legal compliance at a F1000 company. Screens, teams meetings, 'deliverables' all day.
Congrats on making less at the age of 45 than I made as a midlevel associate. too bad you couldn't have gotten it up front and invested in the S&P 500 years ago like I did. You wouldn't have to worry about paid vacation like you do now. |

Date: July 29th, 2025 3:57 PM Author: appetizing flushed sound barrier The in house lawyers may or may not have noticed that the OP didn't mention Biglaw.
Suppose someone posted "Why do PE principals have such giant chips on their shoulders", and that's all. If a bunch PE guys ran in to talk about how being a PE guy is actually better than being a Biglaw lawyer, that would be really weird, right? And the reason it would be weird isn't because they'd be wrong -- being a big shot PE dude is actually better! But it would still be really weird.
Think about that, in house bros. |
|
Date: July 29th, 2025 4:02 PM Author: Lavender Shitlib Headpube What a stupid point. Most in-house lawyers came from biglaw and the realistic choice was to continue pushing at law firms (or go back to firms) or stay in-house. Very few in-house lawyers can become PE principals for a whole bunch of reasons. Just like for many PE principals the comparisons would be VCs or i-banking.

2) we're on fucking xoxo. this is in line with your point too, but a thread about in house lawyers on a fucking lawyer forum implicitly is about others LAWYER options. he might as well said "hmmm but what about compared to professional poker players, no one said biglaw!"
this is exactly the type of biglol "GOTCHAS!" invested in being right. i can envision op loling about how a lazy in-housemo improperly italicized a comma in a routine discovery motion and patting himself on the back for his attention to detail.

Date: August 3rd, 2025 2:39 PM Author: glittery obsidian lay It's not complicated. Do more work, make more money, have more stress and less free time. It has nothing to do with capability other than capability to endure more stress and work. If the compensation were the same nobody would choose to do more work for no reason.
Biglawyers laughing at in house for getting paid less to have more free time and more of a life is strange. The whole you could never be us shtick. It's just a personal choice. Some people choose to live under a bridge. Inhousemos make way more than the average American. And they enjoy a better quality of life. If you are determined to make as much money as possible and work a lot more, that's a choice too. It's a free country. But I have no idea why you would think that makes you so much better than somebody who does the same job for less and has a radically improved work-life balance. |
