Date: August 19th, 2018 6:30 PM Author: black unhinged locus I call them "supertemps." I did DR for about 6 years after I lost my first firm job. There's always someone on the project that thinks their hard work is going to translate into an associate position. I saw this so many times it was hilarious and I would go out of my way to make sure I called them "supertemp" and to try to set them straight. Call me jaded. I call it reality. Have some self respect. Just click the mouse, eat the pizza and cash the check. That's about the best you can hope for in DR. Fortunately, I have left DR and my career is back on track as an in-house attorney, but I still think about how miserable I was during those 6 years, all while trying to make my student loan payments. There are still a couple d-bag associates at these biglaw firms that I would have loved to punch out for being so disrespectful toward the DR plebes.

Date: August 19th, 2018 6:31 PM Author: black unhinged locus I don’t get it. Unless you sh*t on the floor, it’s impossible to get fired. All you have to do is stay awake, click a mouse, and make any adjustments if you’re informed you’re making a glaring, unacceptable error.
I don’t understand the constant questions these people ask about substantive issues in the case. I don’t understand why there is always that one queer who reviews at a rate obnoxiously faster than the average rate of review. Considering none of this really matters and there is no risk of losing the job based on your performance, why doesn’t everyone just bill and chill and quietly enjoy podcasts or scroll through their cellphone all day?
Am I missing something? |

Date: August 19th, 2018 6:37 PM Author: Arousing Volcanic Crater Fanboi Difference is that these people are so stupid, incompetent, or maladjusted to even understand their lot in life. I worked on a huge litigation last year where we hired a bunch of contract attorneys and each individually pulled some bizarre shit to systematically get fired off the cush case where nobody was even qcing their work. One watched Netflix all day, another would steal food out of peoples offices (partners and associates), another stalked a mousy Tinder 4 associate, the list goes on.
