And, actually, maybe I am spoiled at current firm, but I would take offense even if someone I really liked told me unequivocably not to work for someone else. It was that kind of territorial tomfoolery that caused me, in part, to leave my first firm, and I've never looked backwith regret.

Then you're not taking the right approach to work. Unless you're a partner, you are there to do a specific group's partners' work. If other partners in other groups are asking you to do work, it takes away from your ability to do your own work. A partner who says I want my associates available to do our group's work and not messing around with other random joe's in the firm, as long as he has the work to support you, shouldn't be considered to be considered territorial tomfoolery, he shoudl be considered someone who is concerned about not overworking his associates lending them out to jackasses and someone who hires people for HIS group to work in HIS group and should be able to expect that you are available to do the group's work and not tied up doing someone else's crap.
