Let's discuss attorney supervision. Here at "Big Law," the Firm charges the client about $310/hour for the Cogs to perform our document review services. This means that the client pays Big Law to assign, oversee, and manage all the reviews we are doing. The head of the Cogs here, let's call him...Jack. Anyway, Jack, a partner at BL, sits in his office on our floor and does whatever he does with his day. He has no daily interaction with us, doesn't speak to us via email, phone or in person. In the 2 years I've been here, He's had two meetings with the full Cog staff. Two. We come in, do whatever we do with our day then leave. There is no interaction with the Big Law staff, no questions, answers or check in's from Jack, no accounting of our time to Big Law (besides our daily billable hours of course) and simply no supervision whatsoever. It is the epitomy of self management. Why the hands-off attitude? The lack of direction? The careless and sloppy attitude to the biggest money maker at this place? Because the Cogs are simply a conveyor belt of income. Why fix what isn't broken?
Why didn't I know about this business before law school? I'd have started one of these places myself.
