Their rate was/is significantly lower than everybody else, which made them really competitive with the larger firms who are looking to cut costs/boost profits in this market in places such as project costs. The model seems pretty ripe for profit. She was more proactive than most recruiters I've met--a characteristic that works great in law firms but maybe not in a clubby, startup recruiting firm.

They get overwhelmingly picked as "team leads" by Hudson and the other agencies. How is that treating them like shit?<br /><br />How are whites treated like they're 'children of partners' when all the projects are majority black?<br /><br />No doubt the firms and agencies intentionally select blacks for projects in order to puff up their Diversity numbers, since they aren't represented in firms as associates and partners, but the rest of your assertion that blacks are treated like shit on projects, while whites are treated like gold, is untrue and ridiculous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19584611.post-87599642119059804532010-08-11T18:42:44.592-04:002010-08-11T18:42:44.592-04:00David F and Docreviewforlife,

This is especially true when you have fools running projects and favoring their buddies who are bigger fools. These fools are threatened by those who do their work (not supercoders) and don't behave like their on a construction site. <br /><br />You have certain projects where personality is a factor in deciding who gets on the priv team. Yeah, and race does too. After all, if you're on priv, you last 2-8 weeks longer than those who aren't. <br /><br />You have agency reps who have no business flipping hamburgers. So, why are they in charge of attorneys? <br /><br />You have firms without Blacks who treat those Blacks on projects as if they're dirt. At the same time, they treat whites on projects as if they were children of senior partners. <br /><br />Until the firms and agencies act like they are professionals, why should we not b**ch and moan. I'm not on a hunger strike, my goal is to expose the stupidity of the agencies and firms and their selection of team leads and priv team personnel. <br /><br />If you don't like this blog, don't visit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19584611.post-21826489296817058312010-08-07T11:11:00.806-04:002010-08-07T11:11:00.806-04:006:47, nice job accepting the status quo with resig...6:47, nice job accepting the status quo with resigned know-it-all-ness.<br /><br />I think the whole doc review concept is the issue here, not the specifics of which you write. The fact that people graduated from certain schools, like BLS, NYLS, Seton Hall, with no chance of getting any other work than doc review, and not being privy to this essential fact before signing themselves into indebted indentured servitude for life.<br /> <br />For many (obviously not you), life is about more than a mere paycheck. Life is about more than mere paying of bills and survival. Many are looking for fulfilment, since it dawned on them that you only dance on this earth for a finite time, after which it's lights out, goodnight.<br /><br />All this is compounded by the ruthless, opportunistic temp staffing agencies, who never cease to make a difficult overall situation worse with their behavior and treatment of the doc reviewers who generate their income. That's why people hate them.<br /><br />Blame the temps all you want, but it's the scamming system that's at fault, and we have the right to protest and be pissed off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19584611.post-43208594829052144562010-08-07T00:50:45.071-04:002010-08-07T00:50:45.071-04:00Fuck Lexie she's a selfish bitch!

It is just the usual "woe is me" nonsense over and over again. It has to be the agency who fired them for no valid reason! It couldn't possibly be that they just can't follow the rules set out by the law firm and it is the law firm who requests them to be let go. Nooooooo....heaven forbid a contract attorney who is fired, be fired for something he or she did!!!! <br /> <br />These sites served a purpose at one point. People like Tom the Temp and L4L were actually using these to expose to the world the dark reality of the doc review world and the lies law schools feed to people about tales of riches and fabulous jobs. Hell L4L put his name and face in the WSJ. That was a long time ago, back when I used to comment/post regularly. Now these sites are no more than a place for shitty doc reviewers who don't do their work to bitch and complain when they get fired. The reason they are fired NEVER has anything to do with them. They always start with blaming the agency for being fired then start rambling on about the "terrible" work conditions and how poorly run the project in. The best is when they start saying something about the project is unethical. As if it is not unethical to sit at your computer billing for 10 hours when you spent 8 of those hours watching videos or playing games. <br /> <br />To All Doc Reviewers,<br /> <br />This is doc review. You know it is long hours, crazy coworkers, shitty working conditions, and that you can be let go at any moment. It's the nature of the business. If you don't want to get canned just follow these 5 simple doc review rules:<br /> <br />1. Do the hours. If the firm wants 60 hours do 60 hours. Don't bitch about it. Just do it. If the firm requires it and you don't do it...guess what? You're ass is going to get fired!<br /> <br />2. Don't be a supercoder. You are not going to get any award for coding 150 docs an hour when the firm is just requesting 60 docs an hour. All you're going to do is code yourself and the rest of the group into the unemployment line. Then the only award you'll be getting is the "douchebag supercoder award" from everyone else you worked with. Come on...don't be THAT guy.<br /> <br />3. If you're doing something at your computer that would get you fired at a firm then it will get you fired from the project as well dumbass!<br /> <br />4. Realize you're a doc reviewer. No one cares that you were a staff attorney at a "prestigious firm" before the project. You're in the doc review room now buddy. Everyone has done something before this too. No one wants to be doing this now, but out of necessity for money have to do it to get by. So get over yoruself. You are not special. You're just annoying! Now shut your ass up and get to coding!!!!<br /> <br />5. We're all in this together. Don't be annoying, weird, crazy, bitchy etc. Everyone in the room just wants to put in their hours then head home. Please don't play with yourself, start randomly crying at your computer, make weird whale sounds, talk about how you molest little boys, or any other nonsense that the rest of us don't want to deal with. If you piss off everyone else in the room then it's only a matter of time before you get the "after hours phone call" about the project ending...for you!!!<br /> <br />Listen doc review sucks. We all know that. Doesn't mean you don't have to still show a little bit of work ethic and actually do your job. If you hate it that much then stop posting on these sites and go look for a job you'll actually like. Then you can go find another web board to bitch on because you got fired.<br /> <br />Sincerely,<br /> <br />DocreviewforlifeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19584611.post-67677205014989983682010-08-06T15:52:30.048-04:002010-08-06T15:52:30.048-04:00Hey David F., being packed by Lexie side by side i...Hey David F., being packed by Lexie side by side in close quarters, in a poorly ventilated room for 12 hours a day with 30 other people is unprofessional! <br /><br />Summarily firing people who can't hit 60 hours in a five-day window is unprofessional! <br /><br />She deserves criticism for these things, as well as for her vile "me first" attitude and backstabbing nature!<br /><br />As far as hiding behind anonymity goes, it's unfortunate, but necessary. I'm sure most of us would love to own our comments. Since you're not an attorney and thus have never worked in the temp legal business, you know nothing of the ruthlessness of Lexie and all the other agency folks, who just love to play god with people's livelihood and exercise their blacklists, especially in today's economy, where there are probably 7 people for every temp job. <br /><br />Since most people who were forced into temping must do it to eat and pay bills (since no other jobs are available), we have to bite our tongues and put up with the abuses of the agencies. Blogs like this are our only outlet to sound off about these agency abuses, as well as the other abuses in the legal education-industrial complex.<br /><br />So have a little empathy and deal with it! If Lexie is such a great person, the issue about her would never have been raised, nor would people have had anything bad to say about her. <br /><br />Where there's smoke, there's fire!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19584611.post-19729876928355843602010-08-06T14:04:53.956-04:002010-08-06T14:04:53.956-04:00I am galled at the lack of professionalism among t...I am galled at the lack of professionalism among the people posting on this board! I expected more from attorneys. While I am not an attorney, I thought you would rise above gossip and ridicule. How easy it is for many of you to slam Lexie in such a public forum while hiding behind your "Anonymous" postings. It's amazing how people will kick someone when they are down. I know Lexie as a friend and on a personal level for 14 years and until any of you get to know her on this level, you should not be slamming her in this type of public forum. How unprofessional of you!Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17971595490837167267noreply@blogger.com
