How does that happen? Terrible work product? "Billed" but to flat fee or uncollectable projects?

At my biglaw firm billing over 2000 is pretty much job security for another year. Layoffs come after people conspire to stop feeding you work.

Work product was not disastrous in my experience but partners are expecting client belts to significantly tighten (and demands/standards increase) in the next one-two years so there is a lot of anticipatory cost cutting to be responsive and, obviously, support PPP. New hires are expected to bill 2600+ and be excellent.

Rumor is that we'll have a round of layoffs this Friday. I am safe but one bro in the securities group already got the tip off (6th year)

Not biglaw but I have a case against ~35 defendants where ~20 of them are represented by biglaw firms. Expert designation deadlines were today so everyone filed something. After hearing about all the layoffs on xoxo, I had my paralegal create a spreadsheet comparing all of the signature blocks on the expert designations to the signature blocks on previous pleadings, and had him check firm websites for any missing names. From this, I was able to deduce that of the ~20 biglaw firms, 14 of them had laid off a total of 22 associates. Of course, some of them may have lateraled, but the prior sig blocks weren't very old.
