[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They're hiring attorneys because the existing attorneys are leaving. They're not leaving because things are awesome. [/quote]

+1.  I read yesterday that in the last year DOJ has lost about 3,400 out of roughly 10,000 attorneys.  34% attrition in one year is insane.[/quote]

It is wild to have that much attrition in one year, I agree. But for context -- in my Division, most of the attorneys who left were already considering retirement within the next year or two, and were already eligible for retirement and took the fork. So, they were retiring soon anyway and thought "Hmm, why not get paid for months of not working with this deferred resignation thing?" The statement from PP that "They're not leaving because things are awesome" is a bit misleading, at least in regard to many of the resignations that made up that 34% attrition in my Division (I use your number, 34% here, but I think it is pretty spot on for our reduction in attorneys, even if not exact -- we lost about 1/3).

Yes, we joke in my office that DOGE was the only way to get the Boomers to retire.[/quote]
