Ways to Get Fired from Bill, More and Hours*
Ohh how I love the new [ASSociate]...While I might get screamed at to the point that I cry he continually proves to be far more incompetent.
- Begin Research using [Insert Firm's Internet Research Carrier].
- Make sure you aren't actually researching regarding a client matter so it can't be billed to anyone besides the firm.
- Use a senior Associate's account so they'll be sure to catch it and call you out on it.
- Ask [Hours] in passing if you can go outside of the firm's contracted account.
- Make sure when you ask [Hours] is really busy and just gives you a general go-ahead.
- Go ahead and do your research.
- Click on every link you think might actually be of relevance even though the firm is paying by document.
- Never actually find anything of value during all your research.
- Run up a bill of over $1500.00.
- Act like you had your bosses permission for such an excess.
- Play dumb and act like you had no idea documents were that much when outside of the firm billing plan.
Seriously the 1/2 hour between when the Senior Associate came over and when the [ASSociate] told my boss might have been the most fun I've had at work ever.
*Or severely reprimanded and forced to pay the bill.
