[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, you didn't bill that time, you effectively don't get credit for that time. It's not the same thing. [/quote]

I get paid for my whole day no matter what I bill. When I wasn't a lawyer, I also never did anything truly productive during those first 15 minutes. I'm sure not a single secretary at my firm does either, they're all gathered in the kitchen putting away their lunches and gabbing. [/quote]

That's ridiculous!  Every job I've had required me to be ready to work when my day started.  That meant my food and outer clothing were taken care of, my mind was on work, and I was at my desk or a time clock, or I waiting for MB/DB to give me a rundown on the day.[/quote]

So you actually had to be there early, or work with your jacket on and your lunch at your desk. I suppose you also needed to arrive early to make sure you computer was already turned on?

Believe it or not that isn't the norm. [/quote]

I was expected to be there on time, with my things put away, yes.  Turning the computer on was part of starting my work day.[/quote]
