Time to take Willkie off the list of salary laggards. From a WFG tipster:

It appears that Willkie has raised salaries for all classes in keeping with the standard NY scale ($170k for 2008, $185k for 2007, etc.).

The news was transmitted via a one-line email this morning from the Chief Legal Personnel Officer, sent to each class separately, which stated:

“The 2010 salary for the class of [ ] is $[ ].” The recipients were BCC’d and no names were included on the TO or CC lines.

Called out on ATL on Friday evening; raises announced by Monday morning. Anything else we can help you out with?
