Mr. Deep E. Dubbleyu Esq. doesn't have time for your nonsense
Not a peep here
Must be working on that special bonus structure.

Where are the DPW associates? What they talking bout? What say you? Can I get a DPW associate to chime in? They will. If it was me and I ran DPW, I would call all associates and tell them about the raise. Then I would say it’s only for that individual and if anyone else finds out about it, no one gets a raise. I’d see it as a hunger games to see who snaps. In all seriousness, you know these firms are all talking to each other, right? One of these major firms is going to do something, but they talk to their homies to know when it’s going to happen. Yes, we are competitors, but the reason we can charge what we do is because there is someone else on the other side doing the same. If there is no one else doing the same, then we all fail. No? Ok, why doesn’t someone just charge $10k an hour and call it a day, because no one will hire them. Yeah we compete for associates, but it’s not good for anyone if any one of us fail.
P.S. The raise itself won’t make it fail, but someone is trying to make the bleeding stop because this can’t keep up year over year. Law firm economics doesn’t support it.
lol we all lateraled and left 👀
