Working on the corner office. GC/EVP. Still a tier down. Otoh, assuming things go as planned in the short term, I can find new space in a new geographic region and just call it a regional office. Right now, the main ops are in your back yard, so beware.........

So, as part of my victoury lap around the corner office currently (and over the next several weeks) I decided to catalogue my productivity. Over 18,000 billables over the last almost 8 years, averaging over 2300 billables/year (with an average of another approx 600/year in administrative/management non-billable time).

I have made people other than me over $4M in net profits (per the P&L) in that time.

In fairness I feel they should let me take the bidet as a parting token.

Thoughts?

Is it bolted down? If so, a framed picture of it might suffice as a suitable keepsake.

Yes, it's bolted. Back when I was a senior associate I had a portable one that I bought myself, but, when I made partner and got the corner office they installed a permanent one for me. Fixture?

Aren't they installed like a standard commode? You pull off the caps and the nuts are usually just a bit more than hand-tight. Remove and lift off. Just be sure to do the next guy a favor and plug the drain line.

I know firms are cutting back, but if I'm awarded a corner office, I would expect all personal plumbing items would be replaced with new. I expect Penske just needs to check the dumpster each night for the next few weeks.

That seems like sage advice. Grazie!

On a similar note, given that there are no bolts involved, should I just take the 14K gold plated stand alone toilet paper holder stand (like the below except 14K gold plated)?

That thing looks intimidating and hard to maneuver around. I would just use my hand.

You know I love you, but its crude plays like that one that keep you out of the corner office. I'd sooner wear an adult diaper with a pair of man-spanx over them than use my hand. Wordtothewise, iykwimaiptyd.
