You've never been in a place where someone young is being groomed? The President is a fink. |

So he was under you or over you. I got the impression he was the one calling the shots. He told you the thing you wrote over the weekend wasn't good enough for him. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

He is a name partner (but not an equity partner - which means his name is on the door but he does not share in the overall firm profits). -- however, he has some Svengali like control over the Big Boss and nobody can figure out why (although some have speculated) |

Name but not equity? What is the benefit other than ego? I thought they would never put your name on the door unless you had a piece of the action? The President is a fink. |

If I was your boss, you would definitely lose some credibility in my book. Only a weak person would not be willing to approach their boss to try and solve the problem and to express their concerns. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

Depends on who you're dealing with. Your previous experience with him and your own strengths and weaknesses. I wouldn't say universally you should use the same approach. Sun Tzu -- art of war or something. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

He brings in clients but has not put one dime into the firm - therefore, no equity for him Somehow he snowed the Big Boss into thinking putting his name on the door would mean a constant stream of clients from him - while he does bring in cases, they are always referred to him through his synagogue (is it possible he is the only attorney therein lol). -- apparently (and this was before I arrived here), the entire staff warned the Big Boss to not make the protege a name partner -- the Big Boss told them all to go suck it and reminded them of where the door was |

I did not tell anyone to tell the Boss anything Also, the last attorney that told the Boss they didn't want to work with the protege was fired The legal secretaries - who have both been here 20+ years, hold a tremendous amount of power in this office -- they took it upon themselves to do what they did |
