If they don't like getting paid $500+ an hour to draft contracts perhaps they should find a different job.
Also, I pay my lawyer for advice as to the legal risks of my conduct, not to dictate my conduct, I can't make his job harder, only make it take longer which should make him happy as he gets paid by the hour.
If I'm willing to sign contracts with out consulting him that create legal risk for myself why should he care? His job is simply to inform me that what I signed gave me these risks.
Someone getting $500 an hour should be a little more respectful as to what their job actually is, and why their clients retain them.
Similarly when I consult, I give advice, if the customer wants to build something that I don't think will appeal then in end that is what gets built along with all the risks inherent in that decision.
- drgath 15y agoSomewhere there are some lawyers saying the exact same thing about someone they hired to build them a website. "Seriously... this kid started complaining when I told him I wanted it like X, and he said it should be like Y cause it'll be easier and quicker. I make the decisions, why should he care? He's just a code monkey and I pay him by the hour. He should be happy I'm even paying him at all. Ungrateful shit."
- fleitz 15y agoAs well they should. People get paid to do a job. I stopped arguing with people long ago about what is best. If someone wants a site that does X, I might suggest that Y would work better but if they want X i do that. It's all about being professional.
