To all associates whose firms haven’t announced special bonuses (or have strict requirements for them that you don’t meet): Are you planning to leave? How mad are you?

I would have left had they not announced them. I started to look two days before they announced, but stopped right after the announcement. I am not bothered by the requirements.

Absolutely will be leaving if they don’t match at this point. If firms are going to match, they need to do it soon or it will be too late.

My firm hasn’t matched and I doubt they will by now...

If my firm didn’t match then I would leave. The lateral market is 🔥 right now (as the constant recruiter calls keep reminding me). Any firm that doesn’t match will just be left with the associates who CAN’T leave.

My firm did match, but I would have stayed anyway because I am a junior associate so my bonus isn't all that big anyway and because I've put a lot of work into building my reputation, relationships, and work flow at my current firm. If I was more senior and the bonus is some serious $$$... maybe my analysis would be different.

Curious P1, have you and your fellow partners discussed this?

A little. As you probably know, most partners don’t have much say in these decisions. People I have talked to are on board with them. We want to stay competitive for good talent and can’t afford to lose people.

Question that could belong here or in the Relationships bowl:

How do women prefer to be turned down if the guy they’re pursuing is not interested. I know men have the capacity to deal with rejection poorly, and I’m not suggesting otherwise. But in my anecdotal experience , women take the gentle “no thanks, not interested” poorly.

I feel like gay men especially are constantly discriminated against in the workplace. I have been turned down for a promotion, yet again, in favor of a married heterosexual with kids. This has been the story of my career. Have superior experience - stellar reviews - people fighting to get on to my team because our team is great and I treat everyone well. This is so frustrating. Again and again, it’s a culture of parents helping other parents. No gays in upper level mgmt in our office.

Aside from letting people know I'm available and doing pro-bono/CLE, it's starting to feel like a serious "covidcation" leading to termination.
