Shame on the law firm work culture!
The first week saw everyone following the policy, from the 2nd second it went for a toss and things are back to normal. Why do the drama when you don’t want to follow it?
Actually the management needs to realise that it is not the senior management who ensure this policy works but it will be the junior partners and principal associates who actually run matters on a daily basis and are the ones who are ensuring this policy is not followed. The senior partners think they have framed a practices policy but the guys who actually run things on a daily basis don’t give two shits and are still giving unreasonable deadlines, calls on non-billable work over the weekend. Actually it has increased since the policy has come into place and mid levels are angry that they are being publicly called out on groups for their acts.
