[quote=Anonymous][quote] An additional issue in Big Law or other work environments where time is billed by the hour is this. If Suzy Speedy and Lennie LD look exactly the same on their transcripts, they will probably be hired at similar salaries and similar hourly billing rates. But if Lennie needs to work 1.5 times longer to do the project, the clients lucky enough to have Lennie assigned to their projects will end up paying 50% more for his work product than if Suzy had done it. Not fair to the client, not fair to the firm. [/quote] First of all, that isn't how it works. The firm will cut the time to the amount it thinks is reasonable. Second of all, what will happen is that the firm will confront the associate spending too much time, and either fire them or suggest that they look for a job that is a better fit - which they should, if they have slow processing speed and billing time by the hour is an issue.[/quote]
