You get a massive continental breakfast spread catered for the 8:45 am morning meeting in which you are announced partner

One of my students was a notorious drug dealer. Everyone knew it. He was 19 years old and in eleventh grade. Once he got a score of three out of 100 on a test. He had been locked up four times since he was 13.

One day, I asked him, “Why do you come to school?”

He wouldn’t answer. He just looked out the window, smiled, and sucked air through his teeth. His friend Yidarius ventured an explanation: “He get dat green and get dem females.”

“What is the green?” I asked. “Money or dope?” “Both,” said Yidarius with a smile.

A very fat black interrupted from across the room: “We get dat lunch,” Mr. Jackson. “We gotta get dat lunch and brickfuss.” He means the free breakfast and lunch poor students get every day.

“Nigga, we know’d you be lovin’ brickfuss!” shouts another student.

A poaster made a thread when he was up for partner about being nervous. He thought he didn't make partner because when he got to the office on the day partnership decisions were announced there was no continental breakfast like there had been for all the previous times an associate was promoted to partner.

He spent the entire day and a few more days I think stressing over the humiliation of not making partner, giving rise to the <><><>NOBREAKFAST<><><> meme in the thread. It was a multi-day running saga.

The story has a happy ending though, and he actually did make partner and they told him over lunch, but the firm was, I assume, trimming its budget and dropped the breakfast. He realized that he was now locked in, saddled in partnership debt owed to a sinking ship where the expectations are now that he work harder, generate revenue and continue running faster and faster on the hamster wheel of global capitalism. So he killedself, I assume, having only achieved the metaphorical breakfast.

If anyone has a link to that thread I'd love to reread.

They're about to pay him $2 million per year but can't afford some eggs sunny side up and toast?

It was midlaw, I believe. He actually had a reasonable buy-in cost but comp was like $500k. I'm also embellishing because I can't find the thread.

Part of the beauty of it was the build-up to the no breakfast. He was posting a week or two in advance about how excited he was for this giant spread, etc. I think he even made a point of not eating that morning in anticipation of it. Then he very angrily bumped the thread announcing the <><><>NOBREAKFAST<><><> and how he was starving and would need to run out and get a bagel or something lol.

Brother, it is usually a really nice catered breakfast. I didn't even eat this morning. What makes it even worse is they must have known I would be shot down going in and never even ordered breakfast.

I am about ready to grab my coat and go buy myself a nice breakfast. But now it is practically lunchtime. I am not even really hungry anyways.

I think it was just that day the meme was born and then he made another thread a week later where he did make partner, but I can't find that one.

Yeah but I think there were threads leading up to the one you posted from earlier that week where he was going on about the to-do his firm made and how he was expecting it and looking forward to it. Even the OP in that thread shows an assumption that others were aware of what he was talking about. There was definitely more of a build-up than just that thread.

lol I'm imagining him walking in and seeing no breakfast spread similar to the realization that dawns on Tommy in Goodfellas when he walks into the sparsely decorated room when he thought he was going to get made.
