Rode the Acela train this weekend, and had the added misfortune of sitting in front of two white-haired, loudmouthed biglaw partners - they were so loud that someone even politely asked them to shut-up. One of the partners was from Debevoise & Plimpton, as clearly indicated by their tastelessly ugly Debevoise & Plimpton handbag. In between discussions of an Italian villa vacation share, and an upcoming commercial arbitration where privileged information was clearly being blabbered off to several unsuspecting ears, the Debevoise partner went on to mention how he was currently in the process of preparing for an upcoming paper/seminar. The upcoming paper entitled, "What lawyers can learn from Jack Welsh", clearly garnered the approving support of the drooling partner's traveling sidekick. If Debevoise's past actions are any indication (See- http://temporaryattorney.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html), it seems evident that the firm is already adept at implementing and executing some of Neutron Jack's cut-throat employment practices.

Yeah, this is the same JW who earned his stripes settling GE's Hudson River pollution disaster for pennies on the dollar with the State of NY. Rarely has our country endured a more sanctimonious phony than JW. He takes for more credit than his mediocrity deserves. He is nothing but a sleazy snake oil salesman, among the first to ship American jobs overseas as a pioneer of outsourcing. Have you seen him lately, trouping around with that woman half his age? Nothing but a cheezy, egomaniacal media whore.
If I worked at DP I would be a bit worried about now.
Welsh represents everything that is wrong with this country: short-term gain at the expense of long-term growth and stability. Law firms are only now starting to catch on to this trend.

It looks like Suzy has cankles!
It looks like Suzy has elephantiasis, poor thing!
I would've unpolitely turned around and told them to shut the f%#k up. What do you have to lose at this point?
And I used 'unpolitely' instead of 'impolitely' on purpose. Those a$$wipes don't deserve good grammar.
