Possibly prorated or did you work a full year?
Yeah, I’m pretty mad

Is your firm in the lower half of biglaw. Bonuses are often much lower than what you read as biglaw profitability declines. Many firms are vastly under market. People dont talk about it. But it's a thing.
People talk about it, ATL doesn’t talk about it 😂
It’s likely pro-rated, check your offer letter.
Ask HR. That way you’re not raising it with the partner.

I would raise it with a partner who you trust, who can inquire with HR. It’s reasonable to get the full bonus if you billed the full hours. Given that it’s so reasonable, I don’t think it would hurt your standing if you approach it calmly and professionally. How much money are we talking here? If it were me I’d inquire because it could just be that they haven’t thought about this situation.
