[6:32 PM, 2/19/2020] +234 703 228 **** I have observed over the years that young lawyers with paid employment in Law firms are not as bothered with low pay as they are much more bothered with the slavery-like employment.
The owner of the firm being bossy, arresting their time is more hated to them than the low income cos time itself is money
