Suppose my hypothetical AssociateOP, LLP firm had a revenue dip in April and May, but we got things back up and running again and made bank in 2020, so our revenue and profit was about the same as in 2019. Would a "sorry there was a pandemic, no bonuses this year even if you made hours" fly with associates or should the firm be honest about its numbers?
