Cutting perks, Reduced 2L summer program, Shorter 2L summer program (only 2Ls pay attention to summer program details), Cutting bonuses

No-offering 2Ls, Delayed start date

Deferred start date, Laying off staff, Stealth layoffs

Indefinite salary freeze, Temp salary freeze (I dont't think anyone distinguishes between these two)

Laying off associates, Laying off first years (yeah, it's mean, but that's the least useful and generally the most overpopulated class year, and every firm that's doing public layoffs has done so to my knowledge)

Rescinding 3L offers (I think this is particularly bad because it means you have little hope things will improve in 6 months)

Laying off non-share partners

Dissolving

Its not nearly as bad as laying of secretaries who read romance novels at their desk and sell crafts on ebay for 7.5 hours a day.
