  1. I love it when you rant. But then again, I was a janitor for a while, so I was rolling in the dough. I thought working for below the minimum wage was illegal. He should hire himself a lawy… oh, yeah, wait…

    • Thanks! Apparently, wage and hour laws in MA (and possibly everywhere) permit exemptions for doctors, lawyers, and a few other specialist professions. So technically, the firm can get away with lowballing the shit out of their applicants (of which they had 32, sadly).

      Your daughter just finished college, right? DO NOT LET HER GO TO LAW SCHOOL. It’s a scam. Even at the highest ranked schools you’ll have very little chance of getting a job that will enable you to pay back your student loans.

  2. I just graduated from law school and I was upset with one of my professors because she wanted me to commit to working for her until December for $8.50/hour, but after reading about this story, maybe I should consider myself well-paid. That’s a whole dollar over minimum wage!

    • Now that’s what I call “walking around” money! Worse still, that was probably one of the better paying available jobs, right? Unless you want to sit in a sweltering New York City basement highlighting every time a pervy CEO used the word “boobs” in an email while five junior associates monitor your output in a perverse simulacrum of hell.

      “No water breaks for you while you’re under the aegis of my billable hours quota! Now find me some more boobs or I’ll replace you with a Yale grad! Or better still, Adobe Acrobat’s find feature!”
