Re: Bonus Speculation
fam, let's stay focused on on bonus speculation.
Obviously we're looking at an across the board 4% increase to keep pace with inflation over 2015 and 2016, as well as a 4% across the board salary bump for the same reasons.

Hah, BONED already.Anonymous User wrote:check what your employee handbook says now about future accruing/paying out vaca time. do labor and emp here and it is common to payout current vaca/change the policy to not allow cash payouts in the future.Anonymous User wrote:Word on the strasse at Milbank LA is that they changed or vacation plan (from accruing to unlimited with a payout of all accrued and unused on 11/30) at least in part because they had a ton of excess cash sitting around that they wanted to pay out. This bodes well for bonuses, at least for the upper echelons of AmLaw firms.
Good work on the part of those Milbank LA partners, though - "let's screw over the associates and tell them it's because we're so flush - they'll think it's a good thing!"

Hope the bonuses are not too big. We would not want to put undue strain on the partnerships. Small gain for long term loss

Re: Bonus Speculation
Really hope we get an arbitrary V100 firm that jumps the gun and announces last year's bonus scale. Then Cravath will be forced to either go over the top or just admit to their associates that they'll be paying bonuses on the Ballard Spahr scale this year.SmokeytheBear wrote:I hope to wake up to news on ATL about Cravath announcing (or an email from my firm announcing their match).iamnotspartacus wrote:Desperately upset about the lack of speculation....how am I going to make it through the night?

Re: Bonus Speculation
Managing partner called to say that she was PROBABLY going to raise bonuses by 75%, but associates would have to agree to receive the money. I said probably is no good and took a pass. Thanks anyway!
