Imagine being a grown ass person who think it's impossible to respect a person who has authority without being a "bootlicker." Most of us went through this phase when we were 14 and obsessed with South Park, probably time for you to get past that.

Even if you want to argue that there's not such thing as a good partner (completely false and stupid argument), everyone who as worked in biglaw knows that some partners are better to work for than others.mardash wrote: ↑Mon Aug 23, 2021 3:16 amAnonymous bootlickerAnonymous User wrote: ↑Mon Aug 23, 2021 2:25 amImagine being a grown ass person who think it's impossible to respect a person who has authority without being a "bootlicker."

Unless you’re going to start laying out who’s your most favoritest partner, there is 0 reason for you to be anon.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Tue Aug 24, 2021 7:02 pmEven if you want to argue that there's not such thing as a good partner (completely false and stupid argument), everyone who as worked in biglaw knows that some partners are better to work for than others.mardash wrote: ↑Mon Aug 23, 2021 3:16 amAnonymous bootlickerAnonymous User wrote: ↑Mon Aug 23, 2021 2:25 amImagine being a grown ass person who think it's impossible to respect a person who has authority without being a "bootlicker."

Having a thread pointing out which ones are better is valuable for 2 reasons: 1. it puts incoming associates on the right track for which partners to seek work from which in mutually beneficial to junior associates and good partners; and 2. there is a very, very tiny change that the bad partners might get wind of this and try to behave more like the good partners.
Having actually worked in biglaw for a few years instead of being an incoming associate - I have a career to protect. There is 0 benefit to me using my username which aggregates all my posts and would reveal which firm and office I work for, which practice area I'm in, my class year, my alma maters and all sorts of other information that could identify me personally.mardash wrote: ↑Tue Aug 24, 2021 7:08 pmUnless you’re going to start laying out who’s your most favoritest partner, there is 0 reason for you to be anon.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Tue Aug 24, 2021 7:02 pmEven if you want to argue that there's not such thing as a good partner (completely false and stupid argument), everyone who as worked in biglaw knows that some partners are better to work for than others.mardash wrote: ↑Mon Aug 23, 2021 3:16 amAnonymous bootlickerAnonymous User wrote: ↑Mon Aug 23, 2021 2:25 amImagine being a grown ass person who think it's impossible to respect a person who has authority without being a "bootlicker."

I'm actually a former associate, I was fired once the post was discovered where I asked who was everyone's favorite partner.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Tue Aug 24, 2021 7:15 pmHaving actually worked in biglaw for a few years instead of being an incoming associate - I have a career to protect.

In general, you should always use the anonymous feature - I can't really think of a situation in which it's more beneficial to use your username over the anonymous feature.
