From David Lat, after (repeatedly!) slamming Xoxo in lengthy screeds:

"* Gibson Dunn: "The Associates Committee sent out a firm-wide 'holiday' email to associates, looking for comparative bonus information. So it seems like a lot of firms are just waiting to see what the market-setters do...""

So after David Lat slams Xoxo for spreading unreliable and unconfirmed info in three separate blog entries, he posts his own made-up news? Classic.

I'm sure he didn't make it up. Some prankster probably sent an email. Maybe David Lat didn't do his fact-checking this time around.

this just seems like the Associates making sure they don't get paid under market, since they were promised market. Sounds like a good and proactive thing to me, and the fact that they're not worried about doing this polling shows that the place isn't vindictive against associates. HTH.

why does gibson push that retarded job assignment system as a plus? it's totaly TTT for a junior associate to have to worry about getting enough/too much work when they don't even know how to do anything yet

It is much more ttt to be assigned work without any control over it. You figure out very quickly as a junior associate what work you want and don't want, and at a place like Gibson there is always enough work.

It's time to bring back GIBSON'D, the Verb.

Here is an example sentence:

The associates got GIBSON'D while the partners laughed all the way to the MILBANK.

I think this is symptomatic of GDC as a whole. They also tried to stiff their summers when salaries went to 145.

I like how he complains about xoxo being full of "juvenile crap" and then 18 lines later refers to dewey orrick as "Dewy Orifice"

"We need your tips because we don't want to be entirely dependent upon the different message boards (Greedy Associates, Infirmation, AutoAdmit.com, etc.). While we do check them from time to time, we don't do so as much as we should. Why? They annoy the crap out of us. You have to wade through so much juvenile junk to find anything that's borderline interesting. And once you do find something, you can't even be sure that it's true (e.g., the Milbank memo)." http://www.abovethelaw.com/2006/12/associate_bonus_watch_all_quie.php
