Good morning Junior Associate. This should make your office look a little bit more like the gorgeous, wood paneled office we promised you during your summer at the firm before the recession started – a 30 watt bulb.

Any idea how these work? We axed maintenance in February.

Firms get creative in finding space for the few remaining associates as it continues to sublet its office space to increase partner profits.

“Hi- I specialize in litigation support- we are an end to end provider of- blah blah blah- yeah we can do that. yeah we will get it done. There's no job too big for us.”

I thought rats could see in the dark.

Rajiv and Manu in Bangalore need the light bulb in order to review the documents. Even when we mail light bulbs over there it's still a cost savings … “

Things are a little tight this year. Just be thankful you got a bonus at all.

“You might need this, but remember it'll be subtracted from your $7.50 an hour rate along with that soda”

We try to foster a healthy work environment here. So, we decided to provide you doc monkeys with light… You know, so you can see the cockroaches.

The client will be visiting the office shortly. Can't have them see you!

Congratulations! Your negotiation for a light bulb was successful. The team is still considering your request for bathroom privileges.

The Partners have sent me to see how many Doc Reviewers it does take to screw in a light bulb.

We're cutting costs in the closet as well. The bulb's gotta go.
