WHERE ARE THE SPRING BONUSES?

Let’s say you’re an associate at Skadden — or Davis Polk, Weil Gotshal, Debevoise & Plimpton, or any other top law firm that has not yet joined in the springtime bonus fun.

On Friday afternoon, a favored time for spring bonus news, you get an email from someone in recruiting / human resources. The email subject line — carefully crafted, no doubt — reads: “Money.”

You open it eagerly….

Well-played, Skadden, well-played. This is kind of a dick move, but I respect how you roll.
