Everyone, let\u2019s give a hand to this unknown lawyer, whose multitasking prowess apparently allowed him to rack up 64.56 hours<\/em> of personal research on the company internet.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the billing code for this? Do you just enter \u201cResearching key Ninth Circuit precedent<\/a>\u201d on your timesheet? Maybe the attorney was providing expert legal commentary for the media<\/a>?<\/p>\n

I think we\u2019re all a little curious about the window represented here. It\u2019s inappropriate in any circumstance, but 64.56 hours over a year is a lot different than 64.56 hours over the course of a month. The latter raises some serious questions about bonus eligibility.<\/p>\n

We do not know who the lawyer is or the employer or, indeed, if this is even real. It certainly looks like an HR department\u2019s attempt at nonchalantly playing off office porn, but other than the assertion of the original poster we don\u2019t have much connecting this to attorney work product.<\/p>\n

But, to all employers out there: this<\/em> is why lawyers did better with work from home.<\/p>\n
