Now back to the topic, I too think that one month is pretty paltry. When I was laid-off, I was given three months severance. I think with the money Patton Boggs pull-in they could have provided their workers with a better cushion.

I guess it depends. I'm a 50+ engineer in manufacturing and I've had the fun of being laid off or had the company go out of business three times. Once we got two weeks pay and the other two times nada. One month sounds really good about now (as my federal contractor employer circles the drain).

I think it's "but for" the grace of God. But who's counting. This reminds me of someone who wrote it's a doggeedog world.

Good for you that you are so smart and clever. Good for you. *clapping*

Knowing this expression is a matter of basic cultural competency. Don't have to be smart and clever. Just don't use big words and expressions unless you have a clear understanding of what you are saying. Seriously it's good advice. Using simple words and phrases will actually make you appear smarter. You may hate me saying it, but in the back of your mind you know I'm right.

Actually, in the back of my mind I think you're a petty asshole who jumps at the chance to make others feel less than on anonymous forums. You are very pleased with yourself, aren't you? Well, you're insecure and delight in playing gotcha over ridiculous typos. You may hate me for saying it, but in the back of your mind you know I'm right.

No this is the uneducated way of looking at things. Does everything have to be lowest common denominator? I resent and resist that.

That's it? Wow.

WOW that's 1 month more than every one else, douche

Why the name calling. Does it make you feel big and bad on an anonymous forum. You are nothing more than a chicken-shit who would squirm in your corner if met face to face.

Now back to the topic, I too think that one month is pretty paltry. When I was laid-off, I was given three months severance. I think with the money Patton Boggs pull-in they could have provided their workers with a better cushion.

Clever. Thanks for the giggle!

Can we at least get down to the brass tax?

1 month?

Anyone know if there was a severance package? A friend of mine was a staff atty there and was part of the layoff.

Patton Boggs, and it's attorney's, are not on the "nice" list, IMO. Arrogant is more like it. So while I feel for the people who "were separated" (patton boggs speak) from the firm maybe at the end of the day they've done them a favour. Fuck law firms, they suck.

Seconded. They had some of the most douchiest twats working there and they aren't even close to the elite of DC firms.

On the other end, a truly brilliant place like W&C has some of the nicest people i've met in DC.

No.all of them are douchy some ooze more gluten then others
