Slaughter and May to cut 28 secretarial jobs

Re. Moaning comments above about Slaughters being mean and miserly, not to mention cruel to sack people at Christmas..... Why is that we assume lawyers are somehow any less venal than anyone else? If a hedge fund sacked secretaries no one would comment. But we somehow expect lawyers to care about people they employ despite every scrap of evidence pointing to the conclusion they don't give a damn. Very odd...Perhaps we just hope or wrongly believe lawyers have a higher calling other than cash in the bank?
