“8.0 applying to other firms”
Hey that’s me 😂
This was me today. Billed 6 fake hours doing random bus development research (I slept all day).
Lolol
Rising Star
Find a free CLE. Our bar association offers them
At least a solid hour to “Attend to emails”.
Rising Star
Call up an old buddy and try to recruit him/her. Then bill time and put down “work on recruiting” haha
Rising Star
“Attend to administrative matters.”
Chief
“Admin” “read Wall Street journal”
“Professional reading” is a tried and true favorite.
.5 enter time.
Admin, bus dev, CLE, professional dev. But really start looking for a firm that doesn't micromanage its professionals.
I always just say “attend to administration matters” billed to the standard non-billable firm number if there’s ever a day where I don’t bill all 8 hours or whatever
This is all helpful! I think I’m more frustrated that they make us log 8 hours time per day. If I meet my yearly billable requirement I don’t think it should matter. Some days bill 12 hours sometimes it’s 4. But it all works out.
Pro
My firm has the same req it’s so annoying

Find a new firm
Admin time
Executive time
Reading (or professional reading if you want to be fancy).
