Are your firms expecting you to hit your normal billable hours target or making any adjustments because of covid? I just did my calculations and I would have to bill almost 500 hours between Nov 1 and Dec 31 to hit my minimum bonus target. Not looking good and feeling disappointed.

I’ll be ~100 under my target. Firm didn’t adjust for covid.

Would have been so good for morale for firms to give a 100 hour reduction in billing expectations in recognition that we all are dealing with so much more at home. AKA that we are humans and not just billing machines. No such luck though!

I am in same boat. Firm has been clear there will be no adjustments which majorly sucks.

Our firm dropped us to 75% billable requirement for a few months but it’s been unclear about how that will translate into bonuses. Looking at my “normal” requirement, I’m about 50 hours short, even though I have exceeded the revised target. 🤷‍♀️ who knows

like

Similar spot here. My firm has not announced any adjustments and I don’t expect them to. At least 50% of our associates are easily exceeding the minimum, so those of us who don’t will just go without a bonus. That said, my firm is doing well financially despite everything, so I don’t expect any major consequences other than lack of bonus.

Same. Sucks because some departments have been constantly busy and others came to a halt with covid.

No word from my firm yet. I’m about 50 hours behind for the year now. Our FY ends at the end of January. Hoping to make up those hours by then 🤞🏼 but who knows.

No adjustment. I don’t expect one.

Yes.

If i hit my target I get retro pay from 7 month my pay cut back. I need 200+ for Nov and Dec to do it so... you’re welcome for the free loan, Employer. 🤬

Yep. It has not inspired much loyalty.

I just left my pre-seed startup that was running out of cash (we made $100,000 in revenue this year, and sunk $1m in costs).

I have 17,000 vested stock options, total number of shares at the time of my contract was 4million. I’m a bit confused about share dilution and if it’s worth it for me to buy some of my stock options… thanks in adv!
