[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting. DH felt like his pro bono is what got him chosen as part of the 2009 layoff.[/quote] Not if he otherwise made his commercial hours. [/quote] I did project financing at Biglaw in 2008. There were no hours b/c the economy dove off a cliff. Our shitty firm laid off 20 out of 22 associates. And it wasn't the genteel "indefinite time to find a new job" layoff. It was a "two weeks notice" layoff. It took a lot of us a year+ to find another position and some people never recovered their careers. Do you not remember how terrible the legal job market was in 20008-2010? [/quote] I remember. But I am saying it’s not that someone spent their time on pro bono. It’s that they didn’t have hours that lead to the layoff. [/quote]
