Date: June 4th, 2013 6:56 PM Author: bronze bat-shit-crazy patrolman tattoo Listen here you little faggot. Almost nobody is fucking pumped to go to work. It's not supposed to be interesting or fun. Those are called hobbies. Whatever faggy ass dreams of what you thought your career would be like were wrong because you're a dumb whiny bitch. The more money you make, the more bullshit you put up with. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2273656&forum_id=2#23330630) |

You don't have to like the nature of your job, but you should still want to do it well. |

Date: June 4th, 2013 7:58 PM Author: crawly wagecucks parlor I understand this sucks and all but when a case is just you + the partner, your job is to know everything that's going on before you walk into important meetings/calls like that, and more importantly to help your boss get up to speed beforehand. What did you expect him to do when the client asked obvious questions? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2273656&forum_id=2#23330908) |
|
Date: June 4th, 2013 8:01 PM Author: Outnumbered Beady-eyed Trailer Park I don't even think "this sucks and all" really applies. Knowing what your case about is basically the easiest, most fundamental thing an associate needs to do. It's not hard. The OP just doesn't seem to give a shit. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2273656&forum_id=2#23330918) |
|
Date: June 4th, 2013 8:03 PM Author: crawly wagecucks parlor I only say that because if I were like a first year associate who didn't know anything about anything, I might have made a similar mistake. Until you realize you're supposed to take ownership of a case, you're basically just bouncing from task to task so you can leave work as soon as possible.

Date: June 4th, 2013 8:06 PM Author: Outnumbered Beady-eyed Trailer Park If he were a 1st year, yeah. But didn't he say he got assigned to the case a year ago? I guess "we opened the case a year ago" is a little vague but I assumed he and the partner were the "we". If he's not a 1st year, there's no excuse. And I doubt a partner would "rail" on a 1st year like that. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2273656&forum_id=2#23330938) |

Date: June 5th, 2013 4:44 AM Author: vigorous brunch Being on top of the case in that way is pretty easy, bro. Whether or not the partner is being unreasonable depends entirely on some context that wasn't included in the op, though--have you worked on this case enough that you ought to know all about it, did the partner tell you what was up with the call ahead of time, etc.?

Date: June 5th, 2013 10:46 AM Author: Pearly Flatulent Dragon To Be Fair,
You should've gotten railed. You can't walk into a meeting RIGHT WHEN IT STARTS. What if there was something you and the P'ner had to discuss before the client got on the phone?
Plus, at the VERY LEAST you should've skimmed the file and written a short summary of the necessary facts so you could answer any questions or clear up any confusion. |
