Lawyers have greater responsibilities than simply making money. The decision is a disgrace to the firm, and this DC lawyer has lost respect for the firm.
If I were till in a position of hiring big firms (I was deputy general counsel to a bank), I would think twice about PW's ability to zealously represent my interests before the federal government. They have proven they won't stand up for themselves, why would I believe they would stand up for me?

I have more respect for them now that they would no longer participate in discrimination against Asians which DEI was. Good for them to stop pandering to blacks.

I think you mean Black women, because white women continue to back the white patriarchy whenever it really counts. And honestly, as one of those Black women, I am sick and tired of trying to save y'all from yourselves. At this point, bring on the segregation, because I do not trust white people. You all voted for this because you couldn't swallow righting the wrongs of the past and not being given the advantages you've become to believe you're entitled to. 400 years of slavery, 100 years of Jim Crow, and maybe 20 years of affirmative action y'all want to chuck the constitution.
Please don't think all white women. Mostly uneducated white women voted for this mess.

You’re talking to me, a 54 year old suburban white woman who has never voted for a republican. I marched Selma, Alabama for one of the Bloody Sunday anniversaries. I support SPLC. .None of my white female friends are republicans either. We voted for Kamala. We’re all boycotting companies that dumped DEI, and we’re calling our representatives. Your stereotypes and anger toward us as a group is unreasonable and not helpful.
That's nice and all, but I have to go by 1. My own experiences with white people and 2. The numbers.
My own experiences and the numbers suggest that when push comes to shove, white people would rather burn this country down than see me and people like me live among them as true equals. I can't take risks on those of you who might be really serious about racial equity. I have to keep myself and my family safe, and as a population, y'all are simply not safe. If that bothers you, keep up the good fight. But for me, right now? I'm keeping y'all at arms length, and you're a Trump supporter/white supremacist until proven otherwise through actions not words.

Yup, over and over again it's the women.
I’m worried about what a recession will do to women voters. In boom times, women vote independently. Many married couples cancel out each other’s votes these days. But in crisis times, married couples vite more alike. And I fear that, because Republicans are still more trusted in the economy every cycle, we’ll se more women shifting to vote with men for Republicans than me. Shifting to vote with women for Democrats.

Likewise when y’all started stereotyping us all as “Karen”, I wondered why I had ever bothered to be an ally.
