Date: May 22nd, 2025 12:45 PM Author: Exciting crawly tanning salon i turned off my timer if I was just chatting with coworkers, browsing the internet for personal stuff, using the restroom.
also, if I accidentally left my timer running when I wasn't working, I subtracted the excess time based on my rough estimate.
under this system, the most i ever billed in a month was 230, and that was absolutely hellish. |

Date: May 22nd, 2025 9:45 PM Author: Swashbuckling Orange Voyeur Deer Antler If someone makes $15 an hour at McDonalds, you don't get to dock their pay because when the orders got slow, they chatted with their cowrker rather than mopped the floor.
The same thing applies to law. You take the time you were at work, working, and you divide proportionally.
It's not natural for a person to read 500 pages of bonds without a break - in fact most research says you need to take periodic breaks for your mind to regenerate.
YOu shouldn't "pause your timer" after draftig some document because you're taking a lap to the water cooler or checking Facebook for a bit because you can't rewrite Section 13.6 e.
Similarly, when you get an email on your blackberry at 11 pm, and it takes you 3 minutes to respond - that's not billed as a 0.05 hour. You had to be on call to check for that email, then you lost the momentum from your evening, you're going to think about that email for 10 minutes after, and the deal will be in your head for whatever else you were planning on doing that night.
My point being that whenever your brain is required to be in "work mode" - someone should be paying for that. |

so what do you bill for that? 1.25 to me makes sense |

Date: May 23rd, 2025 9:06 AM Author: cerebral market Real talk: the people who get "caught" are overbilling by 200-500%, not flame. It's like the young woman who spends too long with one foot out the door, or the dude with developing mental illness who's unable to do more than an hour or two of work a couple times a week. And they're ID'd for qualitative reasons, not the billing itself, which is often a straight-up pretext to expedite getting rid of the person.

I think this was for the benefit of the hourly employees, but it carried over for salaried lawyers too. Anyway, I ended up working an 18 hour day on Thanksgiving, which the system wouldn't accept.
