There was 1 guy claiming it was happening and one guy, who pretty successfully proved he actually worked there, said he had no indications it was happening. The first guy was making pretty outrageous claims like 25% are going to be cut. If that was happening, it wouldn't just be one dood on xoxo.Anonymous User wrote:Did not look like flame to me.
There is a Rudolph gambling joke in there somewhere.Fresh Prince wrote:A fairly reliable poster (Rudolph) has substantiated the rumor, fwiw.
Didn't Rudolph just say that some guy told him layoffs were happening? That's still hearsay. It might be an angry associate who was stealthed who's trying to make it look like more than it really is.Fresh Prince wrote:A fairly reliable poster (Rudolph) has substantiated the rumor, fwiw.
From searching his name, it looks like he's well-known for being wrong: http://www.xoxohth.com/main.php?PHPSESS ... qu=rudolphFresh Prince wrote:A fairly reliable poster (Rudolph) has substantiated the rumor, fwiw.

All well-run firms do this.
Well, first of all WLRK is not "big law".Biglaw_Associate_V20 wrote:WLRK does this?anon168 wrote:QE, like alot biglaw firms, do this quite often and periodically. It's just rebalancing their mix of varying levels of seniority amongst the associate ranks that natural attrition did not take care of.

Makes sense, but it's just weird to think about Wachtell associates getting shown the door. Also, I'd hardly call this "rebalancing" since Wachtell just hires a bunch of counsel types if they really need extra help and then lets them go when they're no longer busy.anon168 wrote:Well, first of all WLRK is not "big law".Biglaw_Associate_V20 wrote:WLRK does this?anon168 wrote:QE, like alot biglaw firms, do this quite often and periodically.

But that said, they are "well-run" and so yes it happens there. Why wouldn't it. "Layoffs" or whatever else you want to call it at Wachtell simply doesn't generate the ripple effects because they have so few attorneys (comparatively speaking).
What do you think happens to all those folks who do not make partner. Yes, they have great lateral opportunities, but lots of those people who leave do so as their second choice.
C'mon, dude. Watchell takes in, what?, something like 25 SA/year? And they make how many partners per year on average? 2?
It's like quoting or up voting it / agreeing with post.

Eh. TLS has its own problems. Maybe not with the layout, but definitely with some of the consummate aspies who post here.desertlaw wrote:Can someone explain to me why XOXO/Autoadmit seems so shitty, particularly the layout?
