Smaller Firm Question - how long do you give associates to start making a profit (i.e. doing sufficient billable time that is collectible) before you begin with warnings or termination?

Scenario: 1 Senior associate transferred laterally but did not bring business (this was known), 1 Junior is 3 months in, but seems unable to bill even his own salary, no less enough to cover other overhead. I am billing more than both combined (both hours and $$) and it is driving me crazy.

Thoughts?

Room to negotiate? Got an offer with D for 150k as SC, non-mba. 7.5k signing bonus.

Wondering if there is anything to push on. For context, I was poached by D. Thanks!
