How is the hourly billable target greater than the hours of work in a year
Speaking of a mid to top tier firm. The annual billable target does not take into account weekends, leave (annual or personal, let alone anything else), office shutdown period.
How is this legal? How are law firms getting away with asking employees to work so much?
And if you don’t meet your billable target then you’re reminded to work harder, ignoring all the overtime already put in.
Curious to know if this is the standard or if overtime work is a forever expectation.
