[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When Yale Law School attorneys (and sometimes attorneys from other law schools) go into things like “public service,” academia, nonprofits, government, and all of the jobs of the law firm grid, what they are doing is about as brilliant as it can get. They are finding groups with a ton of money that will pay them the most amount of rent for the least amount of accountability to the economy. They are escaping the market economy and going into a place where these rules do not apply.
“When you take a job with the government, you work for a largely inefficient employer with a near-limitless supply of work and money. There is less oversight. If you are inefficient with your time, there is no “client” to question your bills. Sit down and work forever, leave at 5:30 and enjoy the ride. You can also enjoy your health and life a great deal more. Layoff? Quite rare—you are not part of the normal economy.”[/quote]

What nonsense! This is a fantasy whoever wrote this.  I know lawyers and technical experts at several different agencies: irs, commerce, patents, fda, immigration.  Budgets are cut all the time.  Congress slashes entire budgets randomly.  Caseloads are tracked and high percentage of efficiency is required.  I don’t know anyone not putting in ‘love’ time especially at gs15.  No, it’s not partner hours but it’s certainly not partner pay.  Whoever wrote that has never worked as or really known any feds.  [/quote]
