Date: April 19th, 2018 8:29 PM Author: rough-skinned fragrant tattoo ticket booth Of course not. Partners in big law firms are congenial, confrontational, and not at all bitter.
And fuck the boomer/Gen X partner who likely sent that. When the firm lays people off does it say "oh, we'd like to give you 6 months severance to get you through the hardship we've imposed on you?" Unless they do that, then that asshole can get the fuck out of here with the "you owe us" bullshit. |

Date: April 19th, 2018 8:37 PM Author: sick vivacious native pozpig I've heard from friends who left that partners very often say they're "disappointed." Doesn't matter that these friends were not going to get breakfast and would have gotten Lathamed at the first sign of trouble.
That said, most partners seem to be very cordial to people leaving or ignore them. |

Date: April 20th, 2018 4:44 AM Author: motley coldplay fan whorehouse the partner who canned me at my first firm got angry while he was canning me because i didn't seem to care at all that i was billing near zero and just coasting until i landed at a new firm (search was nearing the end at that point, and i was pretty secure in next step). this reminded me of that.

Date: April 21st, 2018 12:30 AM Author: motley coldplay fan whorehouse When I actually came into the office, yea. Occasionally I would have the odd task to do but most of the time it was come in around 1130 to get lunch with office friends, surf web all afternoon, then hit up office gym around 6 pm then go home. Most of the time I was only coming in 3/5 days of the week though. Then once I officially got the talk I gave up all pretenses and stopped coming in at all.
Was pretty 180 - could just wander around my city aimlessly for 7 hours a day, got in great shape, fully rested each day, no need for stims, etc.
The partner who fired me was the one for whom I did 80% or so of my work, and after he fired me he tried to guide me and be a mentor or some shit for my next steps. I just loled and ignored all of his emails. |

Date: April 21st, 2018 12:38 AM Author: vigorous hunting ground pervert The hilarious part is accounting firms routinely keep people around, squeeze every bit out of them they can and lay them off on april 16.
the guy didnt even leave in the middle of busy season. he left in fucking january. thats fine. youre telling me he has to stick it out for another entire busy season to be a class act? while he's making like $60k? go fick yourself. |

Date: April 21st, 2018 2:46 AM Author: lascivious jade brethren rehab i think the partner has a point though. sometimes by leaving without sufficient notice you fuck other people (mostly colleagues). i know you gotta look out for numero uno but still it's true.

Date: April 21st, 2018 10:05 AM Author: vigorous hunting ground pervert the guy left in january. the partner was suggesting he stick around for several more months during which he would work minimum 70 hour weeks for like $60k. Meanwhile accounting firms fire people all the time with little to no severance. If the guy left in March it would be one thing, but he left before busy season even started.

Date: April 21st, 2018 10:11 AM Author: Alcoholic brass office legend can they fire people with little warning as well? do you always know it's coming, or can it sometimes be a surprise (in accounting and law)? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3954244&forum_id=2#35887640) |
