Paul Hastings LA summer fired?
Poast new message in this thread

So here's some good summer associate gossip. One of the girls I work with has a good friend who is a summer at Paul Hastings LA office and apparently witnessed this first hand. I think, though I'm not sure exactly, that this took place Tuesday night.
So they were having a firm sponsored happy hour. You know the drill. One of the summer associates apparently got out of his gourd wasted. He goes to USC (figures), and was reported to be a very quiet and polite Indian guy. Not this night though. A very well liked senior associate was there with his pretty, blonde, fiance. The summer associate starts to say really loudly and angrily about how he would like to F*** her. Everyone around, including the associate can hear this. He keeps going, despite people trying to shut him up and is extremely vulgar and profane. Eventually the associate whose fiance this is comes up to him and tells him that he understands that he is drunk, but he should really just keep it down because he's making a scene. Very nice way of dealing with the situation, considering. Instead of shutting up at this point, the summer associate goes off. Things along the line of "you don't F****ing know me you F****" and apparently threatened to stab the associate. Yeah.
So the next day he has the balls to show up at work, only to find that his desk has been cleared out, his carpets all freshly vacumed, etc. Done for.
I've heard of people not getting offers, but never straight up fired in the middle of the summer. Can you imagine? How will he ever work again? He's going to have to become a sole practicioner in Oklahoma...
Now, I'll admit the possibility of exageration, but the fact that he got fired is for sure, so he had to have done at least most of what's reported... hehehe. |

Correction: He asked the person the senior associate to step outside, moreover, instead of stabbing more like "shooting" the senior associate |

Also, I heard the partner overheard him and made a big stink. |

In Canada there has been a backlash against Americans of late, but I think this is primarily associated with the poor, stupid, and lefty. Anyone who knows their shit realizes how similar we are to Americans and how important a good relationship with America is. |

I can see it happening pretty easily with some random young associates and summers at the bar after the firm cocktail thing...but yeah, people can usually bahave themselves until they are away from anyone who counts. |

I doubt you're having all that much fun anyways, so I don't see how 2 more drinks is really going to benefit you. |
|
Date: June 24th, 2006 10:53 AM
Have a few drinks (hint few = ~6) with whoever is fun, stay away from prudes and olds. Once they leave, go out and get shitbombed.
Wash, rinse, repeat. |

I suppose there could also be less severe consequences from appearing too starchy and uptight. |

of course you can get no-offered for consistently bad work but firing is a drastic step for summers |

The guy made a derogatory comment about the associate amongst other summers. One of those summers told on him to the associate which led to the confrontation. The fiance bit is totally fabricated as far as I know. |
