major firms cutting benefits more likely to means layoffs are coming than base salary increases.

This just creates more incentive to raise since there's less chance of the entire market matching if the have nots are struggling with their bennies.

If this even happened, apparently Chicago isn't included in firm wide :cry:

The meeting would be tomorrow if it is happening...can we get any confirmation of that? Just NYC or other cities as well?

Skadden bought their silence. I don't think I need to tell you what they paid.

E-Mail says a partner in NY office will be discussing the results of the Firmwide Survey in one of the NYC conference rooms. I'm in NY, can't speak to other offices receiving this e-mail.

I hope that when they were asked what they wanted to be paid, the Skadden associates wrote AT LEAST 190K down on that survey.

Looking forward to the Skadden party tonight putting this baby to rest once and for all.

We did it guys!

I miss the days of clandestine interception of information and anon abuse secret sharing. Now we're getting links to ATL articles unrelated to the 190k movement?

I thought the point of this thread was not only to prophesize the impending salary hike but also post all things tangentially related to such salary hike so we can (a) satiate our unquenchable thirst for more information and (b) read way too much into firm movements.

I'd post about 190k but a tiny partner has been camping on my monitor to make sure I keep billing. I can only post from the bathroom. It's tragic.

3L friend received formal letter from firm with first year salary listed at $160. Not even a "might change" or any other hedging. Just a "$160k."

I bet they're gonna fire their printer company when they realize all their 9's are printing upside down.
