[quote=Anonymous]Wait - if you’re traveling for a major holiday, he’ll come for one night? Have you called him on that? Is he claiming that his firm is crazy busy on Dec 24, 26 and the Friday after thanksgiving so he can only take off Christmas and Thanksgiving day and that’s it? Bc give me a break. Sure there are unlucky deal and litigation teams that may get staffed on holidays but not year after year for EVERY holiday?! He’s avoiding and family life and biglaw presents a convenient excuse. But people are right — if he’s looking for reasons to not engage with the family, he’ll find them in a 9-5 too. I’m former biglaw but now govt - I work w a few 40 yr old guys who roll into work at 10 am (their wives also let them sleep in), so their day won’t end until 6-6:30, then they’re chatting it up with each other until 7 in no rush to leave, then they hit the office gym, return to gather their stuff by 8 and then commute home — and none have less than a 45 min commute. So yeah they stroll in at 9 pm from their govt job. If that’s not avoiding home life, IDK what is.[/quote]
