They display it here on this thread and this site when they speak or write of your "ghettoization" of their once alledgely pristine and honorable firms and so-called "profession". <br /><br />Most of those who control lawland along with their minions are no better than snake oil or used car salesman.

Everyone but their own types seem to threaten them. A few years ago the people who hired paralegals and staff attorneys [well at that point even the staff attorneys were merely referred to as paralegals] were managed by a bunch of white chicks. These chicks although annoying were fairly well-bred and went to decent colleges so they recruited fairly decent people. Then the management became a little ghetto -and you began to see more ghetto staffers. Most of it depends on who recommends you and how you do in your interview with the Jamacian top-dogs doing the hiring. They tend not to like anyone better than them - which is pretty much anyone. I know of some really nice intelligent people who were turned down and some real ghetto whores and jackasses that were hired. It all comes down to how much the people recommending and interviewing you "like" you and how insecure/secure they feel with you. I know one girl who was extremely hard-working, very well-educated, honorable [in short, not your standard temp] blah blah blah but the woman she worked for did not recommend her purely out of competiveness even though this girl worked for her for two years and lugged boxes like a mule. All this while people less than her were getting hired simply because their bosses were not threatened by them. If you are working for a woman you'd best be ugly and if you are working for a guy you'd best be hot. A hot girl working for a woman fuggedabouit honey!!<br /><br />I don't know about the rest of the firm, but yes some of these managers are pretty corrupt and even in bed with greasy temp agency ladies.

Its a job that went into extinction with this recession. Most of the major firms shut down or greatly scaled back their staff attorney programs.<br /><br />S&C is one exception, aside from the whole internal investigation/Aley Gayllard fiasco I dont think they've laid off or fired anyone during the downturn. <br /><br /><br />I dont think firms want Ivy Leaguers on staff. They dont want alpha type personalities who are going to bump heads with their associates. They tend to pick people with TTT degrees or who are "stuck" at a bad point in their careers. People who are smart but with issues. These types of people will be grateful for the thankless work, can be whipped like oxen and won't walk away. And as for S&C, the place is overrun by corruption and office politics, even to get consistent temp work there now you have to smooch at least 2 sets of buttcheeks and often times its not even that easy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19584611.post-25679425240704639212010-02-07T15:22:34.067-05:002010-02-07T15:22:34.067-05:00THROW OFF YOUR CHAINS SNUGGIE PEOPLE!!!

Sorry to hear ...11:41 (person asking about Target)<br /><br />Sorry to hear that you are the same person from Dec. As a quick thing, I would say re-check to make sure you actually will trigger a new claim. It sounds to me that you didn't really work that much. Make sure you have at least 16 "credit weeks" in the base year. At least, that's a requirement in my state. <br /><br />As for Target, I think part of it was extremely fortuitous luck/timing. I didn't wait that long to hear back, but the people that interviewed with me on the same day apparently had applied months earlier, so I caught a good time in the cycle, I guess. The short-term thing actually made me nervous as well. I can't remember exactly who brought it up first, but I think I did. At the same time, though, my interviewer tried to prepare me for the possibility that hours would be dramatically reduced in the future months so it worked out fine for the both of us. We both kinda knew that it was a possibility. Since I have no idea about the Target you'd be applying to, I'm not sure I would mention the short-term thing. And maybe not the lawyer thing because it would make it seem like you might leave in a couple months. I just don't know what the proper advice for you is right here. Like I said before, you could always run into a fellow "downgrader" who happens to be interviewing you and they might have sympathy for your situation. Sorry I can't be more helpful.<br /><br />Really, best of luck to you and all the unemployed attorneys out there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19584611.post-52485732803981339472010-02-07T14:00:35.313-05:002010-02-07T14:00:35.313-05:00"Quit demonizing tactics and start demonizing..."Quit demonizing tactics and start demonizing the devils that run all of this."<br /><br />Nice try, Babu.
