Lexolution is AWFUL in LA. They, coupled with disgusting Dickstein, jerked around about 10 contract attorneys for months about the project starting back up. Dickstein in LA is also disgusting and offensive - they sent e-mails to the contract attorneys requesting that they stop the chattering, stay in designated areas (ie., not allowed to use the vending machines) and had set hours to make sure people were there the entire time. They also frequently sent out e-mails stating that if ONE privilege code was missed, it was grounds for IMMEDIATE termination. I will send you a couple more of these disgusting e-mails from Lex.

Hi Everyone,
I hope that this message finds each of you well.
We just learned today that there was some sort of development on the case, and Dickstein will not need you to come in to the office on Monday or Tuesday. I will be in touch with an update early next week, probably Monday.
Please reply to this e-mail to confirm receipt.
As always, thanks for your hard work. Have a good weekend.
Best regards,
Nathan Khalil

Hi Everyone,
We just got another update on the project.
A development in the litigation has caused a lull in activity, and a potential change in the direction of the case. It now appears that the lull and uncertainty will carry through the week. (I have already spoken with the two of you who will be returning this week to review the documents of a particular custodian previously allocated to you.) Dickstein has informed us that they will monitor developments through the week, and will be in touch with updates, perhaps later this week, or perhaps more likely next week. We’ll be in touch as soon as we know more. I won’t venture a guess in this e-mail as to the likelihood of the project continuing on; I will say only that it is entirely possible that all of you will be asked back for the project. We hope that, if asked back, you will return to the project. That said, we understand if you need to begin to explore other opportunities. Please just keep us in the loop.
Also, I just received additional feedback from Dickstein on the review. They have thus far been very pleased to work with all of you remaining from the Lex team, mentioning and complimenting each and every one of the 7 of you by name.
As a thank you for your great work on the project (which I know may have times been stressful), I was able to get approved a $300 bonus from Lexolution for each of you. It will appear in a paycheck next week.
Please feel free to contact me with any comments, questions, or concerns.
Best regards,
Nathan

Hello Everyone,
Unfortunately, we still do not have anything specific report. I am, however, still expecting at least partially good news. I expect to know more tomorrow. Thank you for your patience.
Please feel free to contact me with any comments or questions.

Hello again everyone,
We are told that we may get an update on Friday. As we await word, it is absolutely fine (perhaps in most cases preferable) to leave remaining any things you left at your work station, since it is entirely possible that you will resume work on the project in the near future. But if any of you has left anything that you need urgently, please let me know, and we will make appropriate arrangements. Thanks.
Best regards,
Nathan

Hi Everyone,
Sorry, it appears that we are still in limbo. We just got an update from Dickstein. They have informed us that, as they await to see how the situation develops (and with at least part of the team over there very busy next week), there will be no need for our team on the project again next week, but the need could re-arise after that.
So we will continue to wait and keep you apprised of any developments.
Thank you for your patience, and apologies for the uncertainty! Alas, it’s the nature of the beast.
As mentioned before, we understand if you need to explore other opportunities. Please just keep us in the loop. Also, please let me know if you would like to pick up any belongings from your workstation. There is no need to do so since we are still in limbo, but please let me know if you would like to make arrangements to pick anything up at this time.
Have a good weekend.
Best regards,
Nathan

Hi Everyone,
Unfortunately, we are still in limbo. We were in touch with Dickstein today. They continue to evaluate the situation, and hope and expect to have an update for us next week. It remains the case that a need for the team could re-arise in the near future. Apologies for the continued uncertainty. Ditto to my previous e-mail below: please let me know if you would like to make arrangements to retrieve any personal items at this time. Also ditto to my previous e-mails: we understand if you explore and pursue other opportunities. Please do just let us know if you secure another position and/or if you reach a crossroads.
Also, please remember that the information you have learned about the substance of the case and about its status is extremely sensitive and confidential. Please remember that you are bound by confidentially not to disclose this information to anyone (including friends, family, and potential employers). Thank you.
As always, please feel free to contact me.
Have a good weekend.
Best regards,
Nathan Khalil

Hi Everyone,
We just heard from Dickstein. Unfortunately, we remain in limbo. Alas, such is the world of litigation and contract work. They hope to have a better sense next week. I will be sure to get in touch as soon as we know more. Thanks.
Have a good weekend.
Best regards,
Nathan

Hi Everyone,
We heard from Dickstein today. Sorry, we remain in limbo. For what it’s worth, the project resuming remains a real possibility. Have a good weekend.
Best regards,
Nathan
This was the last anyone heard of the project. It was staffed by both Lexolution and Providus. I guess the Providus people were told immediately that the project was over. I hope you enjoyed the $300 bonus.
What else is amazing is that earlier that week, there was a "meeting" with the associates, partner and K attorneys and the partner estimated the work would last until or through July.
If you think it is bad now, just way until nasty Nora "Plesent" arrives and sets up her ramshackle chicken coop similar to the one on East 40th Street in New York.
