Same, it was on a call with our client, too. The friendlier partner interrupted and said, "Yep, yep, I'll take care of it." I muted and pretended that I wasn't there. Didn't bill. Still got fired eventually.

I guess I was just supposed to be sending the dial-ins and doing the bitchwork in the background. Had never been told not to attend calls on that deal, but perhaps the one partner had said something to the other about it.

I assume that it was for billing reasons (which is why it was said in front of the client), since there were already two partners on the call.

lol. It was a few years, but I just meant to point out how meaningless all of these sacrifices are: Not billing for a call, working through vacations, skipping honeymoon, working from the delivery room, all sorts of non-billable biz dev bullshit -- we all end up fired anyway when the work slows down.

Yeah, everyone knew he was talking about me. I wish he would have just pointed at me and said "get out". I ended up just walking out and sitting next to the door waiting for the senior guy who told me to attend.

Clients do this all the time - even in SHITLAW (e.g., insurance defense), clients often spell out the seniority level required of the attorneys working on their cases. IT'S IN THE LITIGATION GUIDELINES. READ YOUR GUIDELINES.

Insurance defense is the worst. Clients send you a 300 page binder on how to bill what can be billed etc. it's crazy. I did one insurance case. Refused to do it again.

This sort of almost happened with me during my first week of a an unpaid interning with a fed gov agency. I was invited by another attorney in the office to sit in on a litigation strategy meeting regarding a now-very-well-known multi-billion dollar case at the time that the parties were involved in settlement discussions. Head of the office sort did a silent double-take when he saw me at the meeting, but he was nice enough to wait until after the meeting to politely ask the attorney who had invited me to send me a simply worded follow-up email letting me know that I was not invited to future meetings about that case. Can't blame them at all. Very nice of the attorney who invited me, but I was a bit amazed myself that they did.

Yeah, maybe senior government attorneys are less unhinged than private sector senior attorneys. Head of the office was a really nice guy though.

I believe he also sent out an office-wide email asking everyone to not invite me to future meetings regarding that case, but I was not cc'd on it lol.

Nothing more painful than that double-take when someone high-up sees you sitting and waiting quietly in the room. Even worse is when you're sitting at the conference table instead of against the wall.
