Date: July 30th, 2014 11:53 PM Author: jet hairraiser pit I'd never hesitate to get off a case, but I wouldn't do it by complaining about the case or people. Obviously it depends on how politics and assignments are done a t your firm, but I usually wait for a lull and jump ship/take on other work so I can't work on that case anymore, I've done that a couple times to get off cases I hate.

that aside, unless you're a star and they're a dud, the partner probably doesn't want to hear it. and even then might not. dealing with asshole seniors is considered to be part of the game |

Date: July 30th, 2014 11:56 PM Author: bipolar bearded lodge as poster above notes if you can engineer off the matter, do that
otherwise, if your "chums" are partners and you're relatively comfortable with those relationships, then yes maybe a little shit talk won't kill you. but seriously: partners want associates to work it out; they don't want to have to intervene for them (unless the intervention is of the kind "off his ass i'm gonna fuck it all to myself biatch") |

Date: July 31st, 2014 12:01 AM Author: Painfully honest library fortuitous meteor lol is right
I'm surprised at how many proles we have in biglaw, doing anything (including shitting on people continuously and being dicks) just to make six figures (while netting five).
one associate even made a sexist comment to a female associate (cause he is socially retarded). What a fucking idiot, considering he wants to make partner. The rumor is spreading around the firm that he is a sexist asshole. People who are socially retarded seem to run rampant in biglaw, not realizing that 99% of the people talk shit about them and hate them. |

Date: July 31st, 2014 12:12 AM Author: swashbuckling sepia giraffe hissy fit Prole is a good way to describe it. One senior at my firm I'm always working for, has legit aspie tendencies, but its not funny because he is an asshole. The other day a small group of us were having a casual conversation, bitching about plaintiffs on a case, etc, I make a non-controversial comment and he stops and says "that doesn't make any sense." What? "I said that doesn't make any sense." lol. Aside from the fact what I said made perfect sense, he is so fucking aspie, he couldn't just chuckle along and continue stirring the sugar into his coffee, like any normal human being would have done.
I just looked at him, said "sure it does," laughed at him and walked away. I sat back in my office, and for about 2 minutes thought about how bizarre it was to have to deal with someone like him on a daily basis. Most of these people just lack class. |

Date: July 31st, 2014 12:32 AM Author: Painfully honest library fortuitous meteor Sort of similar thing happened to me with super aspie associate. I asked him a question in casual convo (so what do people do around here for fun) and he asks me "are you asking me what people who live here do" or "what people (even if they dont live around here) do here?"
Does this even beggar a response? What an aspie. |
