so basically as long as you're close to 2000 they leave you alone?

I actually heard a partner say once that as long as you are on pace for 1600+ you don't end up on anyone's radar. Our billable requirement is 1950.

as long as you don't piss people off, you can come in slightly under target, should be fine. 1600 seems way too low, I think you can pull that once, but no more.

oh. didn't realize that was that common. I'm in lit in an office where almost everyone is lit. you might have one month where you have 50 billable hours after a big case settles or something, but generally you have a few matters open so there is no risk to have a sub 100 month.

theoretically, but they are too stupid to follow up on it with me. i honestly don't think they know i've only billed like 320 hours this year so far. it's just a really poorly managed firm. all the partners have little fiefdoms that they run and sometimes hand off work to associates, but they don't know about other shit. it's pretty amazing.

i've had a couple biglaw interviews recently though and i'm hoping one of them will pan out. it'd be a miracle.

going to sleep. peace.
