Awesome. This increases their brand name in my eyes.

http://temporaryattorney.blogspot.com/2006/12/debevoise-plimpton-holiday-scrooge.html

"Debevoise cut a bunch of people from a long term project last Friday just in time for the holidays. They called all the temps in to a conference room and told them there was a lot of work left for those who were being kept. Merry Christmas indeed. Talk about insensitivity to the Christian holiday. They could easily have continued to use all the temps until after Christmas at least. Debevoise you are a Scrooge."

No. Letting them think they have a job while xmas shopping is worse. This way they can change their xmas spending habits to reflect the truth.

They're fucking TEMP attorneys. You don't fire them, you just tell them they're not needed anymore.

But if they were told they were working on a long term project and that they would be needed until it was done, they were fired.

I don't see where they were told they'd be needed long-term. Long-term project =/= long-term need for all the temp attorneys.

Those fuckers are paid a premium precisely because they could be "let go" at any time.

Boo Hoo.

How many of them would have put in a couple of extra hours off the clock because it was "the holidays"?

Everyone is so entitled these days. We should all be forced to live in the wild for 2 weeks, so we aren't so generally ungrateful of everything.

check out the comments to the blog article. people are complaining about shitty work conditions and how much it sucks to be a temp. what a bunch of whiners, don't they realize that the real associates who are bossing them around have even worse hours and don't even get overtime pay?
