[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: Phew, it turns out my evaluator didn’t know the policy and actually the bereavement leave counts as billable hours. My lessons here are that at a law firm you shouldn’t assume the partners know the policies and you need to clarify everything in writing.

I know I am posting anonymously to a message board so snark comes with the territory, but why does everyone here blame the poster (or her generation)?!?! I think it’s entirely reasonable to understand “treated as time worked” means what it says. It turns out I was right.[/quote]

Oh that's great news - glad to hear it. People blame the poster because (1) there's a lot of judgey people here, and (2) they feel like if they can figure out what someone else did wrong it insulates them from ever making a mistake or getting hurt[/quote]

That makes no sense. It isn’t billable work. At the end of the day, that is all big firms care about. The amount you bill that they can collect. The end. [/quote]
