He's just a likable bro who hated his firm the second the support staff didn't suck his penis.

[Birdnals]

idk what all the dispute is about. I know my first reaction when dealing with a seemingly incompetent asshole is "I wonder what I did wrong?"


Did you guys miss the part where he is on PARTNERSHIP track at a different firm? That can't possibly happen to seemingly incompetent assholes. I bet firm 1 partners are scratching their heads wondering where their business went so very wrong. Really got those suckers good, for not impressing him the first few hours he was there!

It sounds wrong anywhere. Having summers bail is a very minor deal.

(same no-offered anon here)

Says who? Just last week a partner at our firm was lamenting losing a summer associate who chose a different firm... in 2009! He just made partner at the other firm and generated some discussion.

How did this person make partner after only four years at a firm?

It happens all the time, just not in NYC, Chicago, Minn, St Louis, etc.

Is calling it redlining just a Texas thing, then?

I've always heard it called redlining - 3.5+ years experience doing corporate/IB work. Maybe in a law firm it's different.

I think blacklining is the older term (before color printers). It my NYC firm they call it redlining.

This is what I've seen. Younger associates call it redlining and older partners say blacklining.

This. Some of the older ones I've known will also call it "running a DeltaView," which comes from the name of the comparison software that later went into Workshare.

I have heard associates at my firm say both redlining and blacklining. Is there any difference between the two?

There is if you don't want to get no offered.

I always thought that redlining keeps track of changes you make to a document, whereas blacklining is when the other side sends over a clean revised draft and you "compare" it with the latest draft you sent them.

I also thought this was the distinction, although associates at the NYC firm I worked at seemed to use both terms interchangeably.

Is banjo's explanation of the difference accurate?

It doesn't matter. This thread is fucking stupid because it exemplifies exactly how moronic this place is. You guys spent two pages trying to figure out the difference between a blackline and a redline, when in reality no one gives a shit.

Lol. Take a deep breath and relax dude. I'm just an ignorant SA trying to figure stuff out.

zweit is right. Being this nervous about shit is worse than fucking up small shit nobody expects you to know.

I'm hungover and typing some keys. I wrote them in a manner that offends your shit sensibilities, and I'm suddenly "going off"?

Let's be real here. It's exactly the teasing out of minutiae that makes law students and lawyers generally insufferable.

I know a junior associate who's exactly like that in real life. She obsesses over every single little trivial detail. And she talks that way too. Every statement is super charged, high energy emergency about some bullshit. It's gotten to the point where I can't talk to or work with her because I feel like I'll have a hard attack when I do.

She produces great work. But I know she probably had a crazy meltdown spending 5 hours on making signature pages for me. I'm going to have to write off 4 hours of her time in the process.

And she managed to get an offer when she was a summer.

So the standards aren't really that high.

I'm not offended, I just want you to get your blood pressure checked.
