***Day in the life of ARE COUNTRY pumo's LAW FIRM****
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 14th, 2013 12:20 AM Author: Chrome rebellious philosopher-king (From another thread)
Former life:
Show up to the office in a building that does not have great insulation. It's snowing. Again? My room is about 45 degrees. Fire up the personal heater from my old college dorm. Sit down on my 30 dollar chair and power on my ancient PC. The fat, farm wife secretaries and paralegals loudly talk about the gun show and one of the younger ones tells a tale about her latest match.com date with a guy from (town of 500 people). Took her to Red Lobster, but he didn't offer to pay, so she did. Another wasted evening out on the town.
Oh shit, it's 8:11AM. I forgot to sign in. Rush over to the front desk. She's a nice secretary, is going to tech college at night to support her disabled Iraqi vet husband. She's 20. I tell her to please mark it down as if I came in at 8AM. I am the only associate and this is how the partners keep track of my arrival at the firm. Thankfully I got Burger King with her and the husband a few weeks back, so I think she likes me.
8:33AM and I get around to my first assignment. Farmer A wants to buy property from Farmer B. Problem is, we don't know any details. In fact, Farmer A's voicemail just says the county it's in and some details. "(Farmer B) lives near the old red house on the corner of X and Y in ____ county. Not sure the specifics but I wanna buy it so what do I do?"
10:45AM and I finally figure out the details. Put together the paperwork.
10:46AM and a partner comes in to talk to me. They're moving my desk. Apparently the "rain maker" (he brings in a total of 260K a year in terms of billables) needs more space. So I am being moved to a glorified closet where the ethernet cord cables hang down. No windows. Even colder. One electrical outlet. It's the size of a NYC studio bathroom. I won't be able to bring my desk so they buy me one of those 30 dollar folding tables to put my computer on.
10:52AM and another partner comes in. They need me to go to a "networking event" at the Chamber of Commerce in a town 55 minutes away. The meeting is at 7pm and I need to be there 20 minutes early. I need to call the partner and tell him whether our rival firm is there and who from that firm is attending. I don't know anyone from the firm, so I have to print out a list of their names and faces. I will be there until 9PM. I will probably roll in at about 10PM at home. I cannot bill for any of this time. The firm will not pay for my travel expenses or dinner even though I have to stay late.
11AM, on to the next assignment. Two 21 year olds want to start an LLC. We haven't been able to reach them on the phone. So I am told to find them and put it together. They invite me to their apartment at 2PM. Put that on the calendar.
11:05AM one of the partners comes in to tell me that my work on a contract from last week needs revisions. Get it to them by lunch. Also told that I need to start wearing ties with my suits. I casually note in my head that the rest of the firm wears sweatshirts and khakis. But I guess this is the expectation on the new guy.
Noon, finish the revisions and turn it in
12:15, get to the local gas station where I pick up some string cheese, an apple, and a ham sandwich. The ham sort of smells like diesel fuel.
Rush back to my office at 12:20 where the two partners are discussing Beghanzi. One believes he should call the local Congressional rep (the firm donated the max amount) and stress the need for impeachment. The other things Obama won't be impeached, but they should bring it up at their next Tea Party Patriot meeting. Maybe they can do another march "downtown" (it's a few buildings above 2 stories and some are made of brick!!!)
12:40 I have a call with opposing counsel about an issue we cannot figure out. Literally. Neither side knows what we are doing because our clients, two 80 year old men trying to figure out how to close a business, cannot decide how they want to end the business or find the paperwork. Unfortunately, the opposing counsel is a dick to me, even though I stress how new I am to the profession and this area. I had never heard of the local business before, and they suggest I might need to reassess whether or not practicing law in this town is a good idea.
12:42pm, I sign out to use the bathroom.
12:45pm I take a shit. I hope to die.
12:46pm return to my closet. See one of the partners on my way. I say hello but she refuses to speak with me. For some reason, she refuses to answer my emails. She won't help me. She won't talk to me. I don't know what her problem is, but it's not good.
12:47 pm, time to start on a memo to a partner. Determining what regulations must be followed to close down a small factory in the town. I am also supposed to draft a way to limit the exposure to the guy who runs the plant because he is planning on running for the local town board and does not want negative publicity from kicking out 30 people from their jobs.
1:30pm head over to the apartment of the guys with the LLC idea.
Drive behind a few Amish people and about 50 pick up trucks and semis. Very slow roads. Very icey.
2pm, get to the apartment. Welcomed inside by two, heavy set guys who obviously just smoked a heavy amount of pot. They ask if I want any cherries. I say no. As I begin talking to them about the LLC, one of them puts on Skrillex. The other starts to play Grand Theft Auto on their xbox. They decide that they're not sure what they want yet but thank me for coming over.
2:30pm, return to the office. Find stack of medical records on desk. 456 pages. Note: "please summarize the different medical problems our client faced and what doctors suggestion at each stage of the treatment. Need it ASAP."
2:31pm, begin the review.
5pm rolls around. I am through 323 pages. Send partner an update of my progress.
5:05pm, partners begin to drink beer. One of them has a whiskey sour. I stick my head out and the partner with the medical records file tells me I can't have a beer until I finish my research.
6:10pm, finish the research. Partners have stopped drinking. They headed over to the Applebees for dinner. I have to rush out because I have the networking event at 7pm. Grab a snickers from my drawer.
7pm, get to the networking event in a very tiny town. I am late. I scribble down whether the rival firm is there (no one shows). I try to talk to the big burly high T rural males at the event. I am just a nebbish urban Jew. Introduce myself to some of the local business people. They ask if I am one of the "city lawyers". I tell them that I am from the area 55 minutes away. It's no city, but to these people, it might as well be New York City. They frown a little bit and mention the solo practitioner does their wills and estates. I mention we have lawyers who specialize in much more than wills and estates. They say they just use some website (legalzoom.com).
9pm, finally able to leave. Speed home. Zip through Burger King again for dinner. In the door at 10pm.
Post on xo and drink beer. Pass out.
----
No health insurance.
No 401K
In the office or working on office-related matters from 8AM until 10PM, M-F, expected in the office Saturday/Sunday for at least 5-6 hours a day. Still expected to bill every 6 minute increments. But the partners knock down EVERYTHING because no one can afford what a legit hour would cost. Means padding hours is functionally IMPOSSIBLE. I am still expected to bill over 8 hours a day.
45K salary.

Date: May 14th, 2013 10:27 AM Author: Sooty Market Masturbator From a partners viewpoint :
8:30am - show up to the office. hotshot is there. secretary informs me that he forgot to sign in. i sigh and chalk it down to him being an idiot. give hotshot some property stuff which is hard to screw up. he also refuses to socialize with the rest of the office staff. probably scared of guns and doesnt go hunting either.
10:45 - he finally manages to put something together after two hours of staring at a wall. *sigh* i could be done with the same in 15 minutes of talking to ben and jerry.
10:46am - jack needs more space. we dont have any. lets shove hotshot into a closet. also tell hotshot about networking event so he might fit in more.
11:00am - send hotshot off to close the deal on an LLC. $10K of business - hope he doesnt screw up.
11:05am - he screwed up contract work. tell him to get his ass in gear and revise it. he also dresses badly - suits with no ties. wtf ? at least wear smart casual or smart business. nothing in between. it just looks stupid.
12:15pm - hotshot is out of the office as usual. not even eating lunch with the staff. when he comes back he doesnt even discuss politics while we are shooting the shit at lunch. wtf ?
12:46pm - he annoyed lisa so badly she doesnt even want to talk to the fuckwit. lol.
12:47pm - handed him some factory matter. its a memo so hopefully he wont fuck it up.
1:30pm - he runs off to go shoot shit with the LLC guys. hope he doesnt screw up.
2:30pm - he fucks up and doesnt socialize with the LLC guys. they call and tell me he is some sort of alien. loss of $10K worth of business. *sigh*. i dump a medical file on his desk. hope he doesnt fuck up doc review either.
5pm - we start shooting the shit. days work is done. hotshot wants to drink and he hasnt finished my doc review yet. WTF ? im pissed off at his laziness.
6pm - we go off to shoot shit with clients. he goes off to say hello to potential clients in the next town. hopefully get some contacts from that.

Date: May 14th, 2013 12:21 AM Author: Chrome rebellious philosopher-king HOW DID THIS END? Here's how.
2PM one day I am called into the main "conference room" of the firm. All the partners are there. I notice as I walk in that the secretaries are all gone. I think, that is odd!
2:01PM, "______, we have decided to terminate your employment as an attorney with our firm. We issued you a series of tests over the past two days and you did not pass. You have two minutes to collect your things and leave. If you do not leave in a professional manner, we will call the local police who are aware that we have terminated your employment.
Me: I would like to be given COBRA information and discuss a severance because of the hours I put in and what I gave up to take this job.
Partner: you will be mailed COBRA information (never ended up doing that) and we voted against a severance because you did not work here long enough. We are considering your firing misconduct if you appeal for unemployment."
----
POST SCRIPT: I ultimately applied for unemployment. I had to go to a hearing with an ALJ but I won and now receive the maximum from my firm. I ran into one of them at the local store a few weeks after the hearing and he said I should never consider using them as a reference and they will do whatever they can to prevent me from working in the area, state, or in law.

|
Date: May 14th, 2013 12:41 AM Author: Electric trailer park well, that's probably because you feel you lack the right stimulus to do so. in the past, each set of efforts chained logically into the next accomplishment, but now you're in a new sort of aether.
step one is to accept the contours of your fate and quit trying to compare it to counterfactual realities. they are gone.
step two is to tally up your realistic options now.
step three is to focus effort on the most promising ones.
all the while, you should be purchasing weights and a bench off of craigslist for home workouts for cheap.
this is not a plan, exactly, but it's a kind of way of reconceiving your current state of affairs. the people who surround you are largely superfluous. they don't exist on the same plane as you do, and that's just sort of how it is. |

|
Date: May 14th, 2013 12:43 AM Author: Chrome rebellious philosopher-king the counterfactual advice is really fucking helpful; I cannot escape running them (like, if I stayed in my previous job, or never moved here, etc)
Question: what do you mean they are not on the same plane as me?
TYIA |
|
Date: May 14th, 2013 12:54 AM Author: Electric trailer park the people around you were likely born with an entirely different sort of trajectory and grew up coming to expect what eventually happened to them. that is not your reality. you are like a pinecone dropped into the soup-pot; you don't especially belong.
that won't really change unless the town itself changes (which it won't), until you merge with the reality of the town (which you probably won't), or until you relocate.
you have trouble coming up with a way to relocate because of a combination of limited funds and limited perceived options. i won't pretend that those are trivial concerns; they are quite real.
nonetheless, the fact you came from quite a different reality than the one you now inhabit gives you more options than you may realize at the moment. you do have a conception of the "outside world." but at the moment, your thinking has probably been tunneled into a dead-ending set of unpromising options based on your status as a lawyer.
since you can't immediately think of anywhere else to move AS A LAWYER, you quite reasonably feel trapped in this foreign environment. but you're more than a lawyer, is the thing. your cognition is sharp and you are clearly educable.
remember that even if what you do next or where you end up isn't all that great, the NOVELTY ITSELF will have value, as opposed to being stuck where you are at this moment.

Date: May 14th, 2013 1:32 AM Author: Chrome rebellious philosopher-king I know you're my board nemesis, the ultra-pro-are country bro, but this was a firm that wanted to burn me out
it was not about being chill, you don't know what you're talking about
I was EXPECTED to be there BEFORE the partners and leave AFTER the partners. Even if I wanted to be chill, it had to be 8a-6p and that's not including the excessive workload that makes your life seem like cake |
|
Date: May 14th, 2013 1:38 AM Author: Sooty Market Masturbator you didnt have an excessive workload -- you dont get it. i do more stuff in 1 day than you did all week because i prioritize. chasing llc's which didnt happen, going to marketing events without thinking is all garbage "work". you worked hard but you hardly worked.
|
|
Date: May 14th, 2013 1:41 AM Author: Chrome rebellious philosopher-king I was not going to this stuff because I felt like it. I was MANDATED to attend that meeting. I was also mandated to bill x number of hours and bring in y amount of billables. That LLC @ the apartment was something a partner specifically assigned to me.
Also, the above story was a composite of events |
|
Date: May 14th, 2013 1:44 AM Author: Sooty Market Masturbator the only mandate in a law firm is how much money you can bring in. you arent a secretary. yet you acted like one.

Date: May 14th, 2013 1:45 AM Author: Chrome rebellious philosopher-king Yeah bro, just ignore the partner when he says, "you are going to _______ tonight for _______ and you will need to do ____ ___ and ___ when there. Email me tomorrow about it." (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2255477&forum_id=2#23194764) |

|
Date: May 14th, 2013 2:02 AM Author: Sooty Market Masturbator ask yourself - why did the partner not go there himself ? why did he want you there ? what was he trying to achieve ? partners are human and not gods. neither are they malicious or trying to get rid of you after the expense of hiring you.
|
|
Date: May 14th, 2013 2:14 AM Author: Chrome rebellious philosopher-king They sent me because the partner wanted to go home to his wife, whom he openly talked about hating, out of whatever sense of duty
there was no "expense" of hiring me; what type of operation do you think this was? They didn't spend a dime on me. I flew out to see them on my own money. They didn't pay for a single CLE, a single thing. |
|
Date: May 14th, 2013 9:14 AM Author: Sooty Market Masturbator the expense of hiring you is in the thousands of dollars you idiot. do you know anything about matching payroll taxes or employee overhead ? he sent you there to learn. and you failed miserably. |
|
Date: May 14th, 2013 9:26 AM Author: Chrome rebellious philosopher-king admittedly not much about payroll taxes but the employee overhead was next to nothing
they didn't pay for any of the normal expenses you would incur with a new associate: no new technology (everything was handed down to me), no bar dues, no health insurance, no 401 K matching, no CLEs, and I know for a fact they got a deal on malpractice insurance that ended up costing them very little to put me on
That said, you have no idea what I learned or did not learn; I immediately started working with clients and always had good reviews on my work
You're a mix of flame and partisan ARE COUNTRY, so keep on flaming me |
|
Date: May 14th, 2013 9:39 AM Author: Sooty Market Masturbator im not flaming you. i suggest you get the hell out of ARE COUNTRY -- you dont get it at all. its very clear what you didnt learn.
fyi employee overhead is double your salary. so you cost $90K/yr.

Date: May 14th, 2013 2:09 AM Author: Exhilarant Locus Sounds more like they were trying to knock him down a few pegs for being an uppity city kid, which isn't the same thing. He's probably partly to blame for that, but there are thousands of firms where his life wouldn't have been nearly as shitty. Just a bad mismatch.

|
Date: May 14th, 2013 2:14 AM Author: Sooty Market Masturbator maybe in cities but in shittsville you have to fit with the local crowd and he didnt try at all. culture clash.
|
|
Date: May 14th, 2013 2:16 AM Author: Chrome rebellious philosopher-king I'm not getting into all the details but I have a lot more in common with them than I lead on.
They also did not admit up front a lot about the firm. Their tea party politics were a major force of life at the firm. Never brought up. The partners I took most of my work from were specifically said to NOT be people I would be working with (so I couldn't research them correctly or size up the type of work and what not). They talked a lot about being a lifestyle firm, 9-5, they talked about the work I would be doing (which I was not).
You just don't know what you're talking about. |
|
Date: May 14th, 2013 9:17 AM Author: Sooty Market Masturbator maybe i do because i run my own firm and maybe u dont cuz you seem unable to grasp the basics. you join a small firm you have to work with everyone. its obvious.
|
|
Date: May 14th, 2013 9:27 AM Author: Chrome rebellious philosopher-king Nope. Specifically told me which people I would be working with. You don't know anything about the arrangement of the firm.
And one of those people I was supposed to work with refused to speak with me, respond to emails, or do anything if I was involved. This person has a serious mental illness. I later learned from a previous employee who worked for this person, that the "silent treatment" behavior was commonly associated with the lawyer.
|
|
Date: May 14th, 2013 9:43 AM Author: Sooty Market Masturbator or maybe he thought you were an incompetent fuckwit. i wouldve done the same assuming your days description was accurate. you blew $10k of potential business in a day.

I brought in business even in spite of their treatment of me
you can think I didn't learn some grand lesson, but the reality of my experience has nothing to do with some fable you've created in your mind
im starting to grasp from your poor reading comprehension and inability to think outside of your own small are country experience that there is a reason you're working in such a place |

Date: May 14th, 2013 9:36 AM Author: Chrome rebellious philosopher-king talking out of your ass
I was not hired in like a summer associate at some fancy law firm
I was asked to use my personal laptop instead of them buying me one, and I used an old firm desktop
also you have no idea what was happening separate from my hiring; the firm brought on some more experienced players and the conventional wisdom around town is that my firm simply didn't want to have associate(s) anymore, or waste money on it
plenty of businesses change strategy; can me quick and easy and there is a lot less $$$$ wasted |
|
Date: May 14th, 2013 9:51 AM Author: Sooty Market Masturbator i can understand the laptop thing. if they didnt want associates they wouldnt have hired you in the first place. if their strategies changed they wouldnt torture you -- they would kick you out. they wanted to see if you could run with the big boys - and you couldnt. |
