[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm at a mid-sized law firm in Northern CA.  We've been having firm-wide meetings (separated into section leaders, COVID Team, partners, staff) via Webex almost once a week.

Things are changing multiple times a day, and we keep changing policy to adjust. Nobody has been laid off, and there have been no pay-cuts. Right now, only our coffee attendants and some of the copy room has been furloughed. [/quote]

So the partners and associates are still making full comp, but the lowest paid people at the firm have been furloughed?

Lovely.  And by lovely I mean disgusting.

At my AmLaw 50 firm, the equity partners have been the first, and thus far only, people to take pay cut. [/quote]

It’s unfortunate, but if the offices are empty, how would you propose the coffee attendants work from home?  I’m a lawyer and in my practice I could be busier than ever. I’ve had to request several extensions because I can’t get a full day in with the kids at home but there is plenty of work to go around, at least in my practice group. [/quote]

They are on staff. Even if they cannot work, they should be paid.

You still pay your nanny and cleaning person, you still pay your coffee attendant and copy room staff.[/quote]
