Somehow, the firm has chosen our choice experts from the shallow end of the organized gene pool. When I have to call them weekly/ daily to follow-up on conversations and meetings they can't remember even happened, that is probably the time to reassess the business relationship. I'm not their mom! They need to start taking notes when I talk (another step to learning how awesome I am) and actually accomplish what I tell them to do.
I think I'm going to tell them I am going to deduct money the client owes them in proportion to the amount of time I waste being their mother. I wouldn't be this patient with my own kids, yet grown men/women have never learned to do their own work, and TIMELY!
Someday, I'm going to act like I don't know who they are when they show up for a meeting with B-Dub. I'll tell them I don't know what they're talking about. When they refuse to leave, I'll threaten to call (or actually call) the cops. I'll tell the cops this guy/chick must have some psycotic disorder because they are dillusional! I will surely recommend they be put on a psych hold because they are a danger to the legal field and all of my clients.
First, you say "Organized Gene Pool"....? WTF, these people don't belong there.
ReplyDeleteSecond, Maybe you should act like my mom, and ignore them :)
