This term was coined by J. Daniel Hull, Esq., author of the “What About Clients?” blawg, and popularized by Scott H. Greenfield, Esq., author of the “Simple Justice” blawg. It refers to:<br /><br />(1) a class of narcissistic young professionals, particularly attorneys (usually Gen Y/millennials), who believe that having a job is an entitlement, rather than a privilege. They often complain about the work they have (if working), opine the lack of “real lawyer” jobs available in the market, and are critical of the long hours and inadequate pay found at most small firms. They believe they are entitled to work/life balance, that their opinions on any subject are inherently important and that whatever benefits they enjoy are inadequate. The Slackoisie are more interested in having a place to go in the morning and some spending money than committing themselves to their clients and the profession; or<br /><br />(2) a slacker with an exaggerated sense of self-importance and entitlement. . . <br />(4) Anyone with a graduate degree who lives in their parents basement and is unemployed because they cannot find an employer who “appreciates their uniqueness” or demands that they actually produce quality work before being given a raise, the corner office and a convertible sports car.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6834335945349958946.post-1689949242744657642010-03-02T10:56:19.440-08:002010-03-02T10:56:19.440-08:00I'm glad to hear that I am not the only one.I'm glad to hear that I am not the only one.The Namby Pambyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04131063162941076828noreply@blogger.com
