[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Retirement party? Biglaw? HAHAHHA thanks for the comic relief.  I mean, I know I'd be pushed out eventually, but I think this incident has really put me in jeopardy in the short term. [/quote]

Seriously?

Seriously, yes.  To the first point, the number of people who start out in biglaw and retire from a biglaw firm must be in the low single digits.  And law as I said above is very shallow, and honestly what we do isn't brain surgery by any means (especially litigators, and that is what I do).  Therefore, law (like sales), is very shallow and image-based.  A surgeon or nuclear scientist can get away with being socially awkward and, hell, probably shitting his/her pants in front of co-workers, because that person actually is valuable and has real skills.  Lawyers are quite fungible.  So you aren't a "personality fit" or you do something like insult a client (or bust ass in front of one), you can find yourself pushed out for that. [/quote]
