I support this 100%.

Reading this blog post and surfing over to the Wall Street Journal article (sadly, the article is for subscribers only) it was quoting blew me away. Take a look at the following quote from a confidential power point presentation coming out of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP...

The crash course in etiquette went into high gear at a partners meeting last February. To deal with low associate morale and high attrition, a confidential slide presentation reviewed by The Wall Street Journal urged partners to say things like "thank you" and "good work" to associates they supervise.

I think this should go unsaid, but seriously, if you have to have a slide show telling you to say things like "thank you" to your employees, there is something wrong with your organization, and maybe your profession as a whole, since this doesn't seem to be exclusive to just them based on some other things I have been reading as of late.

More information on how fun it is to be a lawyer can be found here.

Interesting blog post about the turnover rate for some of the prestigious law firms. Sadly, reading stuff like this is why I don't think I am going to be a lawyer.

This blog catalogs the wacky adventures of the RIAA as they attempt to alienate all their customers while performing Public Image suicide at the same time (that RIAA is so multi-talented).

It is blogs like these that really make me question whether I want to be a lawyer or not. Despite his spelling and grammar mistakes, this is one of the best blogs I have found about life as a NYC Associate.
