That is quite fucking embarrassing they even had the balls to publicly announce something like that. Biglaw is a joke. These high end firms are supposed to be run by legal "winners." IE, the people with the best credentials, that worked the hardest, that did the best in law school and are at the top of their profession.
Most men in a position like that would be considered a "leader." Not so in biglaw. Every firm sits around like sheep and waits for some ttt firm in New York to announce bonuses. They all blindly follow suit, no matter what Cravath announces.
Finally, last year the Cravattth butt-fucking got so egregious that some firms announced "spring bonuses." The large majority of firms then followed suit. Surprise, surprise. Spineless sheep, as usual.
Now we have S&C, a supposed leader in the legal market, that prommised spring bonuses. So what do they do? With two weeks left in spring, they give out bonuses that are a fraction of an associate's weekly salary. That is a joke.
Quite frankly, I don't give a fuck that partners can choose to give associates whatever they want. They can give them nothing. It doesn't change the fact that this profession, and biglaw specifically, is run by a group of giant fucking vaginas. |

I have to laugh. biglaw associates go into biglaw to MAKE MONEY and are greedy as shit. then, when biglaw partners also display signs of being greedy as shit, associates act all surprised. everyone is just out to get as much MONEY as they can. |

Firms would make a ton of money just giving associates 25 bucks for every hour they bill over 2000. 25 out of the hundreds they bill the client.
It's kinda stupid to pay the guy who clocks in at 1951 hours the same as the guy doing 2650. But I guess the guys at market setting firms bill as much as they can for prestige, which is free. |
