He had to pull out every paper that mentioned the name of one of the employees of his client....he was told they would not be hiring him back a few months later. The other articling student, who happened to have a family member who was a partner, was hired back. So was the hot woman; she, however, had to put up with 50-60 year old men acting totally inappropriate around her on a regular basis. She was let go once it became clear she wanted to get married and start a family.

Did I mention that baby boomers are also horribly corrupt and nepotic and sleazy in their hiring practices.
John Grisham is that you?

I thought that was the Law industry. They woo you. Beat the crap out of you, and if you survive for a few years they move you from lawnboy to lawyer.
