Working in Law Firms for (Almost) Minimum Wage

Seems wrong

Today I saw a new job ad. It turns out that what I wrote last week (Brett Wilson must be broke) is paying a Paralegal or Administer just £28k/annum. In central London. That barely even covers rent there!

In London, based on some basic research, this is like minimum wage. For people who have a degree in law. Incredible.

But then again, Americans wanted something cheap (shoddy) with poor staff retention. They cannot even distinguish between clients anymore! Under sworn oath a year ago they admitted to the judge they had gotten confused.

What sane person with a law degree wish to work for minimum wage for male thugs? No wonder so many people flee this firm.

“Is it even London’s minimum suvivable wage?” a friend has asked me. “It looks much lower than that.”

Maybe they want their staff to share apartment or even share a room.

“Or else force them to sleep in the sauna,” the friend responsed.
