At my last Big Law you had to come in Saturday. There was one guy who I'd see come in, sit in his office for a minute, then pick up some news article or memo, walk all the way to the CEO's office. Talk to him for a minute, then he'd leave.
But my favorites were Randy and Mahesh. They had their own ways of letting people know how much they worked. Mahesh would tell you: "I worked to 9 last night." Randy was more subtle: "Yes, Mahesh did stay until 9. I saw when he left."
I told someone who stayed there after I left about Mahesh and Randy. About a year after I left he forwarded an email. Mahesh send an email firmwide one Monday: "I had a client meeting Sunday afternoon in the second floor big conference room. I left my pen. If anyone found a pen the room please let me know."
I was never so impressed.
