Lawyers!

SAS - you are so right. I remember one poor sod who had a conversation with his boss along the lines........

"well boss, when do we have the next meeting with our lawyers so that we can discuss my defence?"

"Listen son," said the suited leader of men, "the lawyer we spoke to yesterday is OUR lawyer...... not YOUR lawyer, you need to find your own."

You can imagine the look on his face, to use the expression 'crestfallen' is an understatement to say the least. Until that moment he thought that he was the member of a 'team' and that we were all in it together. Fat chance. If they think you might have screwed up then they're off like a scalded cat and to be honest you can't blame them. It all part of the game but nobody explains that to you when thay pat you on the back and say 'welcome on board'. It's sad though, nonetheless.
