can anyone confirm this story that winston keeps a do-not-staff list to choke the hours of associates it wants to lay off? do all firms do this?

I don't want to out them though, because I haven't done the interview yet and still want it to go well and I imagine he realized his mistake.

Not a flame. I'll out them after the interview if I don't get a call-back. So maybe two weeks from now. Doubt anyone here will care because it's non-Chicago midwestern "big law." A hint: they have offices in three contiguous states and merged with another similar-sized midwestern firm within the last two years.bjsesq wrote:Calling Flame.Anonymous User wrote:Not exactly the same, but I accidentally received a list of attorneys who are getting laid off and when.

If he doesn't want to say, why would he respond to this? And why are you making it google-able?!Dex wrote:

How about, sending this list to the managing partner, Chris Johnson. Oops, sent to candidate Chris Jensen. (Assume shitboomer email user.)fatduck wrote:yea i'm sure "FIRE_THESE_IDIOTS.PDF" was in the same folder as "CB Interviewer List.xls"
