Date: February 25th, 2026 2:17 PM Author: (*)> (i'm in your city) presumably the culture of Partner rule through fear and associate subservience has abated now that the carrot has evaporated? the associates must realize they have zero incentive other than to maximize their own bonuses and earnings?
maybe some of the associate really, really need their jobs, but surely they realize they can make money lawyering many other places? it's just hard to see how the management and incentive model continues to work now that the rug has been pulled completely out from under |

Of course it’s all salaried non-equity bullshit though if you’re good but not equity material at least they’ll keep you around indefinitely at $600-700k rather than force you out at year ten.

Date: February 25th, 2026 2:39 PM Author: ,.,,.,.,,,,,,..................... I work for my partner in a tiny niche specialty that he created that doesn't even exist in most biglaw firms, much less out on my own. Well, I guess I could try to leave and steal his clients, by my aspie, xo-reading ass wouldn't be able to steal a single client from his charismatic self. So I'm going to ride the gravy train as long as I can- it pays a lot and, best of all, most of the time we can just recycle old work and bill full price for it.

My partner keeps me around because there's too much work for him to do by himself, but that could change. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5838318&forum_id=2.#49694685) |
