Top law firm in fight ... with itself
The following is extracted from an email chain between 2 co-workers at one of Australia's most prestigious law firms ... Allens Arthur Robinson.
I wonder what matter number "Bitchfight" goes under and more importantly, who's paying for this (thoroughly entertaining) exchange?

Subject: My lunch...
Yesterday I put my lunch in the fridge on Level 19 which included a packet of ham, some cheese slices and two slices of bread which was going to be for my lunch today. Over night it has gone missing and as I have no spare money to buy another lunch today, I would appreciate being reimbursed for it.

There are items fitting your exact description in the level 20 fridge. Are you sure you didn't place your lunch in the wrong fridge yesterday?

Probably best you don't reply to all next time, would be annoyed to the lawyers. The kitchen was not doing dinner last night, so obviously someone has helped themselves to my lunch. Really sweet of you to investigate for me!

Since I used to be a float and am still on the level 19 email list I couldn't help but receive your ridiculous email - lucky me! You use our kitchen all the time for some unknown reason and I saw the items you mentioned in the fridge so naturally thought you may have placed them in the wrong fridge. Thanks I know I'm sweet and I only had your best interests at heart. Now as you would say, "BYE"!

This is the quality of personnel from a firm that describes THEMSELVES as "a leading Australian law firm" with "focus on excellence and our clients."
Now hiring ... dyslexia, sluttiness and superficiality are attributes that will be highly rewarded with "a beautiful apartment, brand new car, high pay job".
No wonder that after buying all of those things, employees "have no spare money to buy another lunch today."

does this not constitute harrasment? Not to mention general bad spelling and just porr use of language in general...... shame shame shame- and to think all these years I've felt inferior to these lawyer types.... perhaps IT is the better alternative!
oh- and please ignore the 'porr' spelling on my previous comment- but after all, I'm in IT.... no one expects tme to be able to spell ;-)!
Betina, do knot worry I also spell bad sometimes and gramer not so good either. Microsoft help me out with all this.
A law firm on 19th and 20th floor? In the city? Could it rhyme with "Three Pills"?
No need to worry about defamation Shtine. Who would really know where you are talking about?
Ilan- you funny think this? Not so funny when realise you, I like this talk....too ;-)!
Three Pills?
Not quite.
Think lollies - Minties, Snakes, Jaffas, Cool Mints.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
Brilliant. I came here to tell you that we were acknowledging your creativity in headline writing by putting you on our "best of" for the story. However, to see how you have presented the emails with photos. I need to go back and acknowledge you for that as well.

Gotta love that. Nothing like a slut duel.
Does working in an urban office setting make you this anal and catty?
Or are anal, catty people attracted to office/lawyer type jobs?
Which came first? The bitch or the egg?
Mix 'em and cook 'em in a pot like gumbo, I say.
talk funny more we should.......dyslexia or star wars character?
Really funny exchange considering a lawyers primary focus is to bend the truth.
Do you think it would be the same if they were talking about someone whose cellphone went missing?
