Real question is why is Staci so bad at updating the scorecard? 3:09 and it's still not updated...

She's too busy working with Elie Mystal writing an article about what the name Selendy & Gay means for gay rights.

The fact that other companies have been silent so far gives me the impression that they do not want to raise salaries. How likely is this scenario? Is it possible that with Milbank's salary increase, a new era has dawned, where law firms no longer offer the same salaries, even within V10?

Firms have tried that before and gotten hammered at OCI and by laterals.

Put yourself in the shoes of an HYS student going to OCI. From their perspective, it's hard to distinguish big law firms. They sure can tell who pays more than the others, though.

For reference: the Cravath to $180k announcement hit ATL at 3:09 p.m. on a Monday.

Right but it hit ATL a while after the memo went out. It's getting very late now

That being said, Cravath will celebrate 200 years in a bit. A move to 200K would be great marketing.

Cravath also set that scale, could have been planning it for a month. Different circumstances in this scenario.

This confirms 199k, which I guess I'm OK with.

The new owner of TLS has auto-censored any mention of the other website so just google "law SPACE school SPACE life"

If you post L S L without spaces it changes to TLS, if you link there it changes to a link to TLS, etc.

I'm a senior high level escort at cravath and can confirm any announcements will be posted first on the other messageboard

off-topic but is there a post somewhere that has an explanation of why the other board was created and what happened with a bunch of posters leaving TLS? I'm curious and bored.

TLS changed ownership, got rid of PM feature, started censoring/reviewing posts, etc.

wwwtttffff. The article on which this is based came out hours ago, and Elie Mystal just now decided to stop being triggered by the 2016 election long enough to write this article:

Moral of the story: We'll hear about today's raises on Wednesday.

Right. Plus it isn’t a bonus memo. So someone had to find that bullshit tripe, send it to ATL, who had to break down the multiple levels of bullshit, because a copy and paste wouldn’t do the bullshit justice. I actually think ATL did a good job of calling out GT’s bullshit.

Isn't the fact that the new owner would censor posts to this extent reason enough lol? Also the new owner is responsible for all the various links to his other website, lawcrossing, which is a piece of crap that charges a monthly subscription, so it's basically a scam. For a while, all posts had to be individually reviewed before they were posted so people couldn't talk about the other message board.

To get more real, the discontent also stems from the new owner's desire to financially capitalize off of other people's work and content such as the numerous excellent guides and information collected on TLS over the years without meaningfully communicating--or communicating at all--with the community that generated the content.

This is roughly accurate. The reality is, a core group of former TLS posters who pretty much live and breathe online enjoyed the control/social validation they get on these boards before the new ownership group took over. When that core group lost their power on TLS, they formed a new site and tried to get as many people to go over with them as possible, promoting their new board as a place where you can have fun-but-also-moderated conversations that respect all of the right idols and none of the false ones (i.e., they get to control who can post about what topic in which thread, where and when you can/can't discuss certain topics unless you promote a certain point of view, etc.).

Right, I mean this thread has been a shining example of the superiority of non-moderated boards. Just like we had when I was in school at Yale/Columbia.

The salary raise thread is an outlier for a few reasons. If you can't understand why, I'm not going to spell it out for you. On the larger question whether you prefer moderated or unmoderated boards, we can disagree about that but I'm guessing your mind's made up. If you don't like this set-up, go to the other site. Pretty simple.
