A big question I have is why law firms haven’t been budgeting for expected downturns like this? They made record profits last year, shouldn’t they budget for a downturn like this? And isn’t it obvious that this is a “what goes up must come down” kind of situation with the economy?

Tbh it just doesn’t seem sustainable to axe people as soon as profits drop when the same people were instrumental in ensuring record profits were made last year - in my opinion, that would just erode trust in the employees and prevent people from being less invested in the organization. But I guess at the end of the day people are selfish and care more about their bonuses and have no qualms in uprooting others’ lives.

I think the aggressive raises were in part strategic moves by the extremely profitable firms. A lot of less profitable firms did it to keep up with the Jones’s and will be in a tough spot when work slows down. Idk just a guess.
