Tonight, i think it really sunk in that I'm at a pretty crap law firm. That being said, I think im in a good position but I really cant trust anyone...

I found out from two stealthed co-workers that my firm gives one week paid "severance". how shitty is that? and also, rumor is that its totally a eat what you kill system, where the ones that bring in money and have big billables get the $$ and others go to shit. this includes partners. unfortunately, unless i maintain high billables going forward, i am at a risk of getting laid off myself.

You just now found out your firm's partnership structure? What class year are you?

That sounds like a truly awful firm. How did you not know that before?

Sounds like any firm with non-equity partners

No. Non-equity partners at real firms make more than 20% more than 3rd year associates.

I know what my firm's non-equities start at, and it's a lot more.

Stop whining. In all likelihood, you earn more than 95 percent of people your age. I had to work at a fucking grocery store for three years; most of my co-workers were illiterate and on welfare. Think of that the next time you whine about your "crap" law firm.
