Hello Fishes - I have worked in Intel Corporation for a year but not as direct employee. It was my client location. My direct payroll was LNT Services. How can I take benefit of Intel Corporation as I was NOT a direct employee there. Can I mention in my resume. If yes, how and what to mention in my resume?
Am so done with this job today 😭

If (1) it’s something that needs to be done that night and (2) there is no other matter I can work on to get ahead and bill to, yes
Coach
100% yes
Coach
Attend to x matter.
On 2 yes. On 1 If I’m told to stay up and wait then yes. If I can do it the next day if I want then no.

No. But because I am never just waiting for a document. I usually working on something else or relaxing.
As a litigation associate, am I missing something here? We don’t bill our time when we wait for someone else to turn revisions to motions/briefs etc, even if we are staying up all night for it and not working on other matters. Why is it that transactional associates are allowed to bill while not actively doing something? (Please don’t misunderstand, I’m not mad, just very very jealous)

When it’s after my bed time, if I have to stay up solely for the client, hell yes they are paying for that time. I once had a client provide something at 2:30am that had to be processed before morning. There should be a difference between my time from 10am-10:30am and 1am-1:30am.
First one always (if I’m not working on anything else or if it prevents me from doing what I would’ve otherwise been doing - ie sleeping). Second one not as much - if it’s a partner then maybe but usually I just watch tv or cook or clean while I’m waiting
What if you’d rather be sleeping in situation #2? Haha
Yes
Yes if the client requested to wait and turn around quickly or file or the opposing counsel is being difficult. No if just waiting for my own partner to sign off on my ramblings lol
