It’s not just BigLaw. I had a partner at a boutique say that he wished he could fire the pregnant women because they messed up his schedule. He laughed at his “joke” but it wasn’t funny.

My boss, who is Jewish and also a lawyer, shrugged and said "OK, no problem. We'll find someone else. Also I need to find out why we let them hire us to begin with." I don't know what it would take but we need to learn from the consultants.

When I had first started at the consulting firm, they wanted to have me lead a project for a Georgia-based chicken fast food restaurant. I told them I didn't think I could do that because I'm queer.

Fucking hell. I spent two years in a Big 4 consulting firm as a consultant and have been working in legal departments of other consulting firms ever since and like... they do it so much better than law firms do.

Everything you've described is way, way worse than any partner behavior I've experienced or heard of. I agree with @notalawyer.bsky.social that Kaplan's alleged behavior is as bad as any I've heard about.
