Another day, another dollar. We are plodding through our assignment when we get an email from the bigwigs at the central office. "You and your group have to get through 800 documents by Saturday night. Stay late & work on Saturday if you have to..." We emailed them back (and CC'd "Jack" so he can pretend to be in the loop) letting the wigs know that that number is impossible for the 3 of us working on this assignment. We simply cannot do that many in the time alloted no mater how late we stay. We email them back saying if we work late & on the weekend, we might be able to get through 600. "Jack" calls us on speakerphone. 'You don't understand," he says dryly, "this is not a negotation. They are asking you to do 800 so do 800."
Quantity over quality. That's how we do things in the basement of Big Law.
