Proskauer implemented a hidden hours requirement for bonuses that was only disclosed to associates after they missed the undisclosed threshold, resulting in withheld bonuses.
The Nonequity Partner Instagram account noted that the firm enforced these hours requirements strictly and without notice, particularly after the fiscal year ended.
Discretionary bonuses in Biglaw firms often allow for unexpected policy changes, leaving associates unhappy and financially impacted without a fair notice.
The changing requirements around compensation not only impact associates financially but also undermine their trust and morale in a high-pressure work environment.
