So apparently a Skadden associate worked on Christmas and her meal was not reimbursed because she ate outside of the 10 block radius... Sound familiar to any NY GAs? Here's the story:

The reimbursement policy (esp. the application of it in this case) may be stupid, but the guy was a moron to send that pissy email. Not only for putting his pissiness in writing (haven't there been enough associate emails circulated to make someone think twice?), but also because it's not as if Lena in accounts payable wrote the policy or has discretion to change it, or cares that he worked Christmas Day, as he probably earns at least 4 times what she does. If he had handled matters differently, he might have gotten any or all of the following: reimbursement, some appreciation for working on Christmas Day (um, right), some sympathy for that and for encountering the moronic policy, and something to bitch about with other associates. Instead he gets a reputation as an associate who treats non-lawyers at the firm like shit (although one might think that would help his chances of becoming a partner who treats associates like shit). CCing her boss was also a dick move. He needs the lesson he's getting.
