I've. Seen. It. All.

Wow.

More than once. And didn't address pp's suggestion that she troll for sympathy amongst her to-be-furloughed colleagues.

OP, you need to take a hard look in the mirror. Seriously. I know you'll ignore this, as you have the dozen-plus posts saying the same thing, but you are incredibly unattractive.

Please quote where OP complains about being sequestered. You may disagree with

my approach, but what you claim never happened.

Page 3.

Someone said:

OP, you're just digging yourself deeper. Please stop.
The fact that you (and pp) can't discuss these kinds of things with your husbands is insane! Looking at internet forums for info about family finances? Instead of ASKING your husband? Then again, you probably never see him. Just - I have no words.
And people are losing their jobs, being furloughed etc - and you don't get why people think you're an asshole?
I really can't go any further with you.

OP Replied:

If I'm an asshole then you're a fool. I AM BEING FURLOUGHED. What is assholic about asking if other people in biglaw are seeing this bump?


Conclusion:

OP is a twatwaffle.

Where's the complaint? It was a reply to the PP to indicate I am in one of the groups to which unfortunate things are happening, however this post was never about my situation. A comment to dispel an assumption is not a complaint.

I am willing to bet your husband has one of those high priced call girls in Tyson's that he visits on a regular basis.

Because its humble brag and pointless. She could have asked "Is legal billing on an uptick?" or "Are firms experiencing an increase in business?" .... but instead the point of the thread was just to brag.

Killing it could be getting a lot of sex at the office.

Sorry you're getting so much grief from people here, OP. It's like they see the word "BigLaw" and immediately start frothing at the mouth.

I know, right?? Like it would be so different if it were BigMed, or BigHedge. A ton of haters out there.

If you have to ask you clearly do not know the market.

Actually I had to do a double take if she wrote "did anyone's husband", or if she wrote "did anyone ELSE'S husband". Saw that and she lost all credibility, stat.

Guilty as charged! If I did, I wouldn't be asking. So what's the answer omniscient one?

just calc the billable hours, if/how his rate changed over the year and if he's a litigator what case(s) was won or if he's transactional law what deals closed.
then ask yourself if those clients, deals, cases are replicable next year or are a 1 in 10 yr occurrence.

really, start by asking him, you should have years ago. he should know his standing in the firm and in the market. or if it was carry-driven comp, not billable projects.
