Why do some partners put ellipses after their responses? It just makes everything sound so ominous.

hahahaha this is so true!

I have a client that signs/ends their emails with ...[their initials]... and the number of “.” changes each time. V ominous ..kpmg...

Re: generational theory ... I wonder if it comes from trying to insert some nuance into a text before we had emoji, like IRC and other text forums?

My company historically paid base comp and bonus based on years out of law school. Level 1 is 1-9, and Level 2 is 10+. Diff if $50k+, easily. My team’s work isn’t distributed any differently based on seniority, and we’re all doing the same subject matter. We have a new GC changing it so bonus can be higher (but not lower) if you take on more work.

Do you think this is a fair system? Is it right to push for equal comp, especially given that there’s a new reward system for doing more work?
