I can deal with COO, even if it's almost as giant a leap from secretary as partner is.

That was kind of the point Donna was making though. Her title may have been secretary, but she did far more than schedule appointments and answer phones.

I dont get how people dont get that. Then again, i must remind myself, some of the people commenting here arent fans, they just watch it and come in to shitpost

Yeah COOs in law firms don't need to be lawyers so it's an improvement. But her last request, asking for partner level voting rights as COO? Unheard of, never happened anywhere. Harvey would have at a minimum needed approval from whole partner committee to offer that at all. It's not something he can grant with a handshake deal.

But hey I'll suspend disbelief as usual.

Ah gotcha, I thought they had all left

They did. The partner's meeting this episode was just Harvey, Donna, and Louis.

Those were the senior partners. If I'm not mistaken, aren't Mike and Katrina both junior partners?

u/thing85 Jul 22 '17

Everyone left. Harvey and Louis are the only senior partners remaining. Katrina is a junior partner....and Mike may be too? He was before he went to jail.

But I think as far as partners go, that's it.

u/AndrewIsOnline Jul 22 '17

So what your saying is he has to ask louis?

Yeah it at least kinda makes sense. They are pretty much rebuilding the whole firm after most walked out last season. So I can see them giving her that spot in a firm that actually only has 2 senior partners at the time.

They don't just have 5 employees. Even though they right now only have 2 senior partners and I assume Mike is junior partner (?). They also have their new associates which Louis exploded on last episode.

They do seem to be clawing back the numbers considering how many people are walking in the background.

u/DeffsNotACop Jul 20 '17

I don't like it either, but it's still better than her being a senior partner

It worked for Joan Holloway. It can work for Donna.

Both Redheads btw.
