[exhales] A-plus rescue. [inhales] Shouldn't you be getting ready
for the Litigation announcements? Okay. So I'm not telling you this,
but I'm telling you this. Your name won't be called tonight. - Are you serious?
- Yeah. One off-color reply-all
nukes my shot at partner? Yeah, you really shouldn't be sleeping
with the support staff or anyone at the office, but that's not why
you didn't make partner. Oh come on. You know I'm the best. You are the best, but you're also billing
half the hours of your peers. - You're coasting.
- [Rachel exhales] Did you think
the management committee wouldn't notice? Look, you are an amazing lawyer, Rachel, but you're essentially part-time. I had to go to bat just to keep you,
and you didn't give me much ammunition. They wanted to get rid of me? Step up,
hit your billables, keep your job
