Does anyone feel that despite assurances, metrics are closely being monitored and some partners will be separated for poor performance prior to covid 19?

Yes. Depending on where you are, it’s easier to fire a partner than staff legally.

I can name twice as many partners & MDs let go for poor performance than I can in other ranks combined.

Learned a lot from this. Always thought once you made partner it was virtually impossible to fire or otherwise exit you. Sounds like that isn't the case if you miss your metrics.

It’s a fable they tell the kids.
Perhaps it was tough to fire partners back in the day, but now, woe be unto him who has two bad years.

I’m a new lateral partner, so I don’t have numbers to make yet... assuming this craziness doesn’t stretch out for years I assume I’ll be ok in the near term.

You’re good for next year. But you’d better hope you can still build a pipeline for next year....

Hello everyone I have 29 years as a dental professional in Texas. I started as a dental assistant back in 1993. As my career progressed as a RDA, I moved to the front office and eventually management. I even taught dental assistants and became the Program Director of a DA program. COVID opened up remote work for me, I manage eclaims, claims corrections and billing for two offices. $20 per hour, no bonuses or incentives, I know I am not getting paid enough! Any input would be appreciated.

Do you think using “him/her” for “he/she” (ex: “her is playing” “him not here yet”) is something that kids usually grow out of? Or does it need direct intervention? I have 2 students who exhibit this error, who otherwise should be dismissed. Normally I’d just keep them on and work on it alongside other goals, but they don’t have any other goals, and with COVID, and my upcoming maternity leave in March, a more compact caseload would be advantageous.

What is the partner compensation like at BDO? Base/equity as well as pension. I heard there is 5 years as fixed partner and then 10 as variable partner before you can earn pension.

Or is there a lifetime salary if you’ve been partner a certain duration?
