Got your voicemail.
I do think we need to substantively respond by Monday, not just issue a notice of representation letter and request an extension.
This particular opposing counsel would likely deny any extension requests, anyway. We go back and there is some "bad blood" between us.
My assistant will forward you the other materials momentarily before she leaves for the day (the office closes at 12 PM today for the holiday). Thanks.

Oh, one more thing. Feel free to loop in first-year X on some initial research, heard he is slow. If so, please double-check the cited materials before proceeding drafting - between you and me, one partner commented that his research skills need improvement.
Good opportunity for you to improve delegating skills and to "bring someone up" in the Firm.
Thanks again.

My assistant just reminded me via text that Plaintiffs' counsel served the attached discovery requests on our client three weeks ago. Answers and responses due next Friday.
I know you're tied up on research and the response, but plan to turn to this after emailing the initial draft response on or before Monday morning.
My assistant prepared the attached shell answers and responses, hopefully it helps.
Paralegal X (copied here) already requested info and docs from the client. I think she is also on PTO until Monday, so plan on reaching out to her Monday morning to see where she stored the client info/documents (I assume we've received some if not all of the documents??). If you could review the docs/info by Monday mid-day, I can review your draft email to the client requesting any outstanding info/docs.
I'd like the email to the client go out Monday COB (with our apologies on last minute request), so we are in position to answer and respond by next Friday.
I'm fine with indicating we need to supplement here or there, but this opposing counsel is difficult - we need to avoid giving her any opportunities to go to the Court.
Thanks.

Senior Associate,
Are you having connectivity issues? I can't access emails on my iPhone. Sending this out regardless, hopefully not a crapshoot!
It occurs to me that the Firm might have scheduled Firmwide server maintenance in light of the holiday??
I know you plan to spend tonight with the family, so hopefully this doesn't impact you. I do think we need Junior Associate Y to get started on some research this afternoon, though. Any luck finding his cell?

To be fair,
(30 minutes later. now CC'ing Head of Human Resources and Chief Diversity Officer):
[Senior Associate],
Sorry -- As I was scrolling through my emails, I was reminded that it has been strongly recommended that we all strive to give our diverse associates (such as [X]) "a purposeful space for healing and rest" over the next few days, in light of the recent unfortunate verdict that was just returned by a Minneapolis jury finding former-Police Officer Kim Potter guilty of manslaughter (rather than murder) in the tragic on-duty shooting death of Daunte Wright. In light of that advice, which is certainly well taken, please don't email [X]. I believe [miserable 33 year old shrill midwit grinder goy shrew 3rd year Y] may have some bandwidth, but if not, let's save the "mentoring" for another time -- probably just as well, given that this client is very cost conscious, which I believe I previously mentioned. Thanks again, and thank you both as well for the important reminder on this, Shonda and LaTanye!

Hits home way too hard
Once had a partner blow up a major holiday like this, they did absolutely 0 work on a massive project, deadline was right after the holiday, and I had to put in 50 or so hours over a three day weekend to get it up to speed.
Afterwards they pretended like it was nbd because he told me to loop in a notoriously shitty and slow 1st year who added next to nothing, blaming me for working too much: “You didn’t need to do this all yourself, you had X working with you, didn’t you? Shouldn’t have been that much work over the holiday.” Shitty associate also billed a bunch of hours but didn’t ease the workload at all, ofc.

Any suggestions? I don't want to put this client out again on Christmas Eve, but know you need these documents to begin research and drafting. You might consider seeing if IT can access the materials from her account. Give me a call if you'd like to discuss.

Priya, our in-house counsel contact, just called my cell. She's flying out of the country effective Sunday evening and returns Tuesday, January 4. She didn't tell me where she's going but she was not shy to volunteer that she will have limited connectivity.
She asks if we could email her a draft response by Sunday, 5 PM, so she may review that evening and provide her comments.
Can you email me a draft by Sunday, 11:30 AM? I return to the city tomorrow evening, with church first thing Sunday morning, but have carved out all of Sunday early afternoon.

Unfortunately, this will not work (for several reasons). First, unless you know something more than me, the research on this alone will take 5-10 hours.
I've teed this up with the client, she understands. We need to put our best foot forward here.
And, regardless, I am hitting the road at 1 PM and to visit family upstate. Very spotty reception up there.

Because of many customers taking time off for the December 25th Holiday and for NYE, the rest of this month needs to be treated as if it is the last day of the fiscal quarter, with key customer approvers realistically going out of pocket at any time.
While the customer has sworn to us that the 23rd would be the last day that anyone would be reachable, if we here back from them today we have to jump on it immediately.
In the very relaxed and chill world of corporate law, the December 25th Holiday is of course relaxed, and you only need to hop on line for minor and quick things, but the 24th and 26th need to be treated as high priority work days or we could lose major make-it-or-break it deals for End of Year.
But its exciting because some of these have very high visibility all the way up

*Closing the auto-reply email, that nagging voice in your head still haunts you with fears that the phrase "festive season" which you ultimately included in your response copying the CDO might be construed as being "over the line"... after all, you've just worked too damn hard over the last decade to be taking any chances at this point, with the prospect of a service partnership bump hopefully just a year or two away now...*

Senior Associate,
Since you copied me on this email, I skimmed the shell. LaShonda got a nice start. But, as you point out, the shell contains state court information, we are in federal. We will need to revise the caption along with the general objections.
I'm more concerned that the shell appears to only contain 1/2 of the document requests. Not sure why this is.
Any luck with IT? We need to the entire fire, including the PDF of the discovery requests served on us several weeks ago. And then we will need to circle-back with the client to request any outstanding documents.

Senior Associate X,
I'm looking at your time sheet for this. The amount of hours billed for "drafting responses" is not going to fly with this client. As I mentioned in prior correspondence, the client is very cost sensitive. We're going to have to shave a lot of your hours on this. This type of work is something that we should be delegated to firm staff, and I recommend you use them in the future. It's important that you learn how to delegate these tasks.

One more thought. You might reach out to Adolf for his view on the big picture on this one. Several years ago, he went to trial on a very similar case.
Tell him to bill his time. He usually stays local for the holidays, so he should get back to you quickly.

In all seriousness, thanks again for jumping on this. This client told me earlier today that she plans to send more work our way. This is a great opportunity for you to get client interaction. I won't practice forever!

This will go down as a special moment in BIGLAW horror-threading/LARPing.
I see it as XO's official "Christmas Eve" special.

Senior Associate X,
I'm finishing up dinner now and haven't received word from you in since the early afternoon. Starting to get worried. Please call me ASAP.

[priority email]
Hi Associate Y,
Apologies for the Christmas morning interruption. Senior Associate X should have reached out to you yesterday afternoon about some emergency research we need this weekend, but oddly, I have not yet received confirmation from him that you two connected.
Please confirm you that you spoke with him yesterday about this project, and please confirm that you will provide the research to him this weekend.
We have a draft response due to the client tomorrow late afternoon (before she heads out of the country), and he promised me an initial draft of the brief mid-day tomorrow.
It's been a minute since I've researched the salient issues, but suspect this response brief will require several hours of research, at minimum, so want to make sure you're entirely in the loop, sooner than later.
I appreciate your willingness to jump on this research assignment over a holiday weekend. It's not normally like this here - our Firm values work-life balance. I recommend that you take some time off around New Year's to make up for this.
I hope first-year is going well!
Thanks,
Equity Partner

[First Year Y glares at the screen excitedly. He feels like a minor league player that is getting called up to the big leagues. He's finally getting the chance to prove himself. Taking Equity Partner at his word that the brief will require "several hours of research", and assuming, naively, that no one would be so cruel as to casually dump an assignment that will require working completely through Christmas day and an all-nighter, First Year Y shoots off a quick text to his mother]
"Hey Mom, just got a rush assignment from work. I don't think I'll be late to lunch at 1, just wanted to give you a heads up. (told you they work you hard at these big firms!) Merry Xmas Love You"
Good morning and merry Christmas Mr. Equity Partner,
Senior Associate X did not reach out to me. I will call and text him, but if you're not getting any response I doubt I will.
No worries about the morning interruption, I'm eager to step up to the plate! Is there anyone else I can reach out to or can you bring me up to speed?
Sincerely,
First Year Y

First Year Y,
Thank you for the quick response. Noted and appreciated.
I will let Senior Associate X get you up to speed (copied here). He is closer to the file, including the documents, all of which include lots of Company "jargon" that he will need to walk you through so you fully grasp the research issues.
If you have any questions after connecting with him, shoot me an email.

To be fair,
*Equity Partner scans the email on his iPhone as, Terminator-style, his evil reptilian kike brain keys in on all critical aspects of the message and instantly formulates the following firm and comprehensive assessment:
- "merry" not capitalized = lacks attention to detail, potential source of liability, do not trust
- Use of "merry (sic) Christmas" as a greeting in the first place = both naive and culturally insensitive, additional potential source of liability, strike two red alert danger danger
Conclusion: This particular junior will be tasked exclusively with the worst nonsubstantive gruntwork, actively run into the ground, eventually counseled off of the case as soon as a better junior becomes available, and thereafter bad-mouthed to fellow partners whenever the opportunity organically arises -- and there is absolutely nothing that they can say or do moving forward to substantially change this assessment/fate*
Response:
"Thanks so much First Year Y, I really appreciate the 'can do' attitude -- welcome to the team!"

(first year Y is now two hours and five bourbon infused eggnogs into his family's Christmas luncheon. Having not heard from Senior Associate X or Equity Partner regarding what his task is, and being unsure of whether he should repeat his ask for instructions from equity partner, he has gravely misunderstood the urgency of this matter, the amount of work it will require, and the precarious situation he's in now. Additionally, he has confused the partners casual and friendly tone as having established some genuine rapport. Spurned on by his naivety, obliviousness, and growing intoxication, he shoots off the following email to equity partner)
Hey (partners first name),
Still haven't heard from Senior Associate X. Eager to get started on this. I'm at my family's Xmas party right now so I might be "out of pocket" at times. Please lmk what I can do to help with this.
Cheers,
(first years first name)

Wasn't the draft due to the Client around this time before her flight?
Where are we on this?

it's open ended. people make up their own conclusions on how this all played out.
i like to think equity partner was sending out emails on saturday night with no response, only to find out that his cellular data got turned off. when he got back into range all his queued emails were sent simultanously. first year got 100 emails from equity partner suddenly and freaked the fuck out, not knowing what to do. then Senior Associate X's body is discovered, and equity partner uses this convenient deus ex machina to explain what the project wasn't completed.
turns out this was a low priority for the client anyway and she's off to cancun until 1/7.

"then Senior Associate X's body is discovered"
Can IT access the materials that were in his e-mail since he'll be unavailable???

this pretty much played out in real life for me this year. have had a horrible december workwise. battled hard to wrap up work so that I could get a 2-3 day break. wife is close to leaving me right now because of work. even got a court order granting two motions I wrote this week so figured I was in the clear.
i get an email at 6 PM on thursday night (12/23) from Jewish equity partner (I am a non-equity partner) while at family Christmas party. "Where is draft of X?" "uh, there isn't a deadline for X now that the Court granted our motion" "I don't care, I expected a draft this morning" "well, I'm out of pocket for the next hour. I'll get you the draft tonight" [haven't even assessed X to know if this is possible] "well, I'd like some family time the next two days too." [hanukkah ended three weeks ago, Mort]
fortunately X was pretty easy and I got a nice email from Mort at 10 AM on Christmas Eve copying the whole team saying "Nice job on this." I then worked until 5 PM on Christmas Eve getting signoff from everyone on our team and conferring with opposing.
I did not work on Christmas itself but billed 2 hours today on the aftermath.

Still his fault
No need to live in a high COL area
Lower salary= no massive taxes
House? See above re high COL area-- sell house for a small fortune, move, get nicer house
kids-- more time at home, wife can help with childcare

I had many scenarios this when I was in banking.
I pushed back/refused hard on 2 during my last 6 months and am forever grateful that I did so.

Why not just push back hard? Flat out refuse during Christmas week or when you don’t find the work interesting.
Choose when you want to be fully engaged and give it 12 hour work days.

Hi Partner X,
I'm just finishing Christmas Eve dinner with my family. It should wrap up at my parents house around 9:00 PM EST. The drive home takes about 30 minutes, and then I’ll put the kids to bed before reviewing the email you mentioned. I’ll make sure to respond tonight, in the spirit of Christmas.
And, yes, I’ll be there Monday at 7 AM sharp — if not in body, certainly in spirit.
Thank.
-Mainlining
