What about those firms that matched DPW last year, I think that would be a plausible list.

Oh shit everybody

My best friend from college's mom is an executive assistant at Simpson Thatcher. I messaged my friend the ATL thread like "LOL ask your mom about this, I bet she made it."

He didn't respond right away and then like 2 hours later his mom CALLED ME and demanded to know where I got a copy of a " confidential meeting agenda"

She said over and over again that the copies were numbered and that someone would find out who the leak was eventually. I tried to explain reddit and ATL to her but she wasn't buying it (typical boomer).

She did say that she remembers the memo looking a little different. But mostly she was just yelling and pissed. Even if this memo is a fake, there is another memo that is close enough to freak people out.

Pretty sure it's happening.

This is quietly the best thread in TLS history. Not because any of this is real, but because so many seem to think it is.

This is almost certainly our powerpoint template, the locations match is dead on, and the New Partners Committee, I can confirm, is meeting all of this week. I'm inclined to think this presentation was made for their benefit as how many partners they mint this year is probably going to take a dip to account for making it rain firmwide. I've been a skeptic of NY to 190, but this has me pretty excited.

Yeah, the PowerPoint template is what doesn't make me immediately dismiss this as fake (also STB associate here). If it is fake, it was probably made by an STB associate or someone else associated with STB.

Otherwise, I have absolutely nothing of value to add here except that none of the associates I know had any clue of the bonus increase last year until it happened (and we'd actually been told earlier in 2014 not to expect us to be compensation leaders, so most people thought last year if bonuses did go up, STB wouldn't the firm to do it), so this happening out of the blue wouldn't be shocking.

I heard about a secret partner meeting on my floor so I tried to inch toward the door to see if I could place my ear on it, but it turns out the doorknob was a tiny partner in disguise! He got mad at me and told me to go do more doc review.

to be fair,

those docs arent going to review themselves!

The most sickening thing to me is this anon COWARD decided to break the ATL story story in its own thread rather than report it right here where all the hard work has been done for months on end

FYI, an emergency committee was formed to deal with the aforementioned anon. The committee—which consisted of me, anonymouse, and Brut—has meted out a harsh (but fair) punishment.

I thought I'd ask the tiny partner about NY to 190k, but as soon as I did he split into two smaller partners! One hopped on my monitor and asked why I had sent a status update on doc review I had been doing, and the other asked me if I wanted to do a "quick 2-3 hour" research assignment. Whenever I'd try to answer the first partner or ask about NY to 190k he'd get angry and interrupt.
