“Bring it, Skippy.” Two partners excited about their evaluations.
Pardon me. But isn’t employee (and associate) satisfaction the responsibility of both employers and employees–but mainly of the employees themselves?
How did our priorities get so backward, myopic and screwed up? And so anti-customer? Why not evaluate law firm partners–and associates, paralegals, messengers, techs, assistants and law firms generally–based on client and customer service standards? Rather than on what associates think?
And on the opinons of “other little people” who pay our businesses and allow our businesses to exist. I must ask. Do law school profs live in an alternate reality? Does it happen as soon as they enter law school hallways? Does it happen to even to-die for academia acquisitions like fine higher-end lawyers who actually practiced law for longer than 18 months–the kind we at this blog get so jazzed about when they are infrequently permitted to teach? And those who work for world-class litigation shops for decades?
