A couple of weeks ago, I was notified that I will be taking on a fourth attorney at work.until the end of the year. The secretary who left will not be replaced and her three attorneys reassigned to different secretaries at the firm. I was told that attorney D had not given her former secretary X anything to do in about two weeks and I can expect the same light load added to my current duties.
It has now been a week and a half since the arrangement was put in place and I have been averaging 1-2 hours of work daily for attorney D (a week of which attorney D was on vacation). The foot-high stack of files and documents secretary X brought to me at 5:30 PM on her last day was confusing and a HUGE mess! Did I also mention that she had left a cubicle full of unfiled documents? Luckily, most of those documents belong to the other attorneys, BUT ... how was it that she kept her job for so long and what did she do all day during her work hours? The other secretaries who inherited her attorneys and I feel like we've just inherited our very own Pandora's boxes. Then again, all this would explain secretary X's multiple facebook status during work hours.
