[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Getting “credit” for time written off is a two edged sword because the write off reduces the person’s realization rate. [/quote] Meh, the bigger problem is a partner using $80K worth of associate time without billing for it or intentionally writing it off. [/quote] Not for the associate. The associate’s problem is that they are between a rock and a hard place with no power to decide what happens regarding credit for the work they did. Some posters encouraged trying to get the time posted knowing it will be written off. That helps the associate on one side of the ledger, but the write off hurts on the other. Depending on the individual’s seniority and the firm culture, it could be better to eat a significant amount of time than to have the powers that be get the impression the associate is non-productive or producing low quality work product.
