ATL Open Thread: Holiday Gifts for Legal Secretaries & Assistants

By Lynne DeVenny

ADVERTISEMENTS

You know how I'm always urging ya'll to be part of the virtual legal community by leaving comments at blogs? Maybe you've been a bit shy, or just haven't felt inspired - or ticked off - enough to comment on a blog post.

You should check out Above the Law's annual "Making the Holidays Happy for Secretary/Administrative Staff" open thread.

I think this is a subject you'll definitely find to be of interest, although I doubt it'll make anyone happy.

If language offends you, you might want to skip the comments, but you can tell the subject touches a nerve. Based on comments to date, administrative legal staff can expect anything - a Wendy's Frosty card, dinner for two at Red Lobster, cash - or nothing at all.

Speaking of Frosties, it looks like relations between most of these attorneys and their administrative staff might be a little frosty.

I'm pretty sure Commenters #28, #67 and #76 are real legal staffers.

But I hope Commenter #112 is a real attorney:

This thread is doing more harm to lawyer-secretary relations than a month of flowers and bonuses could ever erase.
$150 cash & good size box of Godiva.

Don't be shy. Go on over to one of the most popular blawgs on the planet and tell them what the staff really thinks about holiday gifts.
