[quote=Anonymous]The two sides - big law partner and disgruntled former associates - may never agree. A few weeks back, on an off-topic thread about what's something you wish you could say out loud, a female partner basically said what some partners are saying here: I made it because I was smarter than you, harder working than you, etc. Women citing forms of sex-based discrimination (harassment and marital) were dismissed as outliers and "not cut out for" the path to partnership I think each side has to believe its own hype to protect egos - big law partners that they were indeed special, otherwise why continue to work those hours? Former associates need to believe it wasn't pure meritocracy and that human bias crept it. I think it's clear what side I'm on, but it's a fascinating case study in the human ego for sure.[/quote]
