When I'm working directly for a banker or a lawyer on a temp assignment, I MAY try to be helpful, depending on whether I'm working for some dumb Beauch Lawyer or some Hot Investment Banker. But,

I would NEVER EVER try to be helpful working in a fhaking word processing center.



Cadwalader Wickersham and Taft

I was just in Cadwalader's WP Center and this Woman was actually printing out pages from a web site, scanning the print outs and then running some idiot fhaking "scan clean-up" macro that she came up with so that she could print the text as labels.

TRYING TO BE HELPFUL, I explain to the hairy Supervisor that the Woman could just highlight the text on the web page, copy it and then paste the text into word to create labels.

From what I gather, Cadwalader is still engaged in this around the clock Marathon Temp Printing Session for what seems now to be two weeks at least; a job that seems like it could have been done in considerably less time (with considerably fewer people). But hey, Tempositions is making a lot of money. And isn't it funny that the TEMP the hairy supervisor is dependent on to oversee the job for him, works for Tempositions?

There have been SOME cases where a scan-clean-up macro could have been useful, depending on how old and out of date the scanner was. And there is the question of just using The find and replace feature in Word to do any clean-up.

But the logic of scanning a document is that: the document/page is very large and it would take a lot of time to type it, so scanning it would save some time.

But to scan a print-out of a web page when you could just copy the text is just silly. I would do it that way if I were being paid by the hour as a temp. But the person who was scanning the stuff at Cad and then running this idiot macro was introducing other ERRORS into the text as a result of her "super duper macro".

In cases like this where you can see that there is clearly a problem in a Center, the best course of action is to just sit back and wait a couple of months for them all to be booted out (or outsourced).

Cadwalader is a kick-ass company, the oldest law firm in the country; it deserves better. And I think we can count on them getting better.

Cadwalader No Comment

We contacted Cadwalader's WP Center for their side of the above posts and they said they had no comment.
