Rumour says these layoffs were “performance-based,” whatever that means. Two I know of are still on the website – both UMN grads, one from 2006, one from 2008.

54, I’m pretty sure that the words “best firm” and “Minneapolis” should never appear in the same sentence.

When Faegre laid off associates and staff earlier this year the firm provided a statement to ATL confirming the nature and extent of the layoffs. I understand that Faegre provided ATL with a statement in response to this report, but that ATL will not post the statement..

37- it doesn’t look like there have been any updates. Last spring they gave laid-off staff attorneys and associates a couple of months to find alternate employment and just said they had to be out by a certain date. Maybe they’ve done something similar this time. Hopefully.

What’s a Faegre lawyer? It sounds like that twisted old fruit who tried to check our entire entourage into one room with a single king leisure bed at that Memphis hotel.

49- Well said. After the lawyers are dismissed, they should be shot in the street like dogs. They are no better than animals.

Who cares. Better to put chains on the truck and go hunting for food so they can feed their families. Make an igloo that can’t be foreclosed. Fact is, no one cares about these people. Don’t care how they get by, or if they do at all. Cut them loose. Then call them losers.

@47 – that’s exactly what happened. Not your fault, but don’t expect to spend more than 14 months at F&B.
