Don't blame the secretary
Earlier in my legal career, while managing a downtown Houston law firm for 20 years, I tried to foster collegial relationships between the attorneys and staff. In that connection, one of my steadfast rules for attorneys when something went wrong was the following: Don't blame a secretary.
This article -- which reports on the uproar over a senior associate at a major law firm requiring his secretary to pay for removal of a ketchup stain from his clothing -- reflects the validity of my rule.
Hat tip to Brian Leiter for the link to the article.
