True, but I don’t know if associates would be sleeping. Maybe it is more realistic that we would be billing more to counter the hours reduced to appease the clients.

I’d rather they keep billing.

I hope you know that the majority of your partner colleagues are not doing that.

And then there are the situations where it is not scope creep or not evidently so and partners get mad about not being able to tell other fee earners to move time off the file or are actually moving the time contrary to rules.

Being a partner at a law firm is nothing like taking a grenade in combat. This is an insulting, ignorant post.

To be fair it is a cartoon displaying a situation in hyperbole to get a point across across (common), and being on the receiving end of a client call re: these items (partner or no) is quite unpleasant.

As A2 said, your fellow partners are not performing the same service you are. I frequently get asked to call clients and explain as a third year.

Ah well, you’re making me hopeful for the future. Most partners I work with reap the benefits and pass off a lot of the grief. I don’t agree with it either, but it is my current reality.

For anyone who receives a quarterly bonus or raise in some form, does your employer start to schedule you for less hours when your raise kicks in, or pull you from a future schedule entirely once you receive a bonus; only to put you back on once the hours you would have worked and earned the amount given are passed? Ie; a part time employee getting $200.00 in a quarterly bonus and then not being scheduled a whole week during a bi-weekly pay period where they would have earned more on the clock…?

Hi folks, my base location as per EY GDS offer letter is Noida but I want it to be Gurgaon as my hometown is in Jaipur and Gurgaon is more convenient for me.. I sent email to my senior manager and got response that you can use flexibility and work in any Gds office in India. However, I feel that in case my base location is not being changed, I should shift to Noida rather than Gurgaon as there might be any formalities or facilities which we need to avail in our base location only.. Any thoughts?
