"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." |

Date: December 30th, 2006 10:06 PM Author: crystalline double fault 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. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=554614&forum_id=2#7321286) |
|
Date: December 30th, 2006 10:09 PM Author: Idiotic bearded station electric furnace 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. |

Date: December 30th, 2006 10:09 PM Author: Vivacious Azure Travel Guidebook Piazza 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. |
