I read this from an article in the papers and found it quite humourous.
Minter Ellison lawyers who use the firm's after hour meals when they're not working late and AMEX for cab fares on their own time received a slap on the wrist last week. All Brisbane lawyers at Minters received an emailed warning from the managing partner who was trying to curb "staff collecting meals in gym gear at 7:00pm on the way home", as the group email explained. Apparently it was a cab driver who dobbed them in (man how sad can you get...), telling a partner who tried to pay cash for a cab fare that there was always a rush of lawyers from both Minters and Mallesons between 7.00pm and 7.15pm and that the corporate AMEX usually paid. As the managing partner rightly points out to these grasping lawyers, it's not about the money(as if not@!!) - as the cost of the abuse is relatively small - it's about a breach of trust. Shame on you, hungry, tight lawyers.
