"Break out the stretchy pants and gratitude journals, because McKool Smith, the Texas-based complex trial firm that's been handing out money to associates hand over fist for years, just dropped a little holiday surprise on its associates: special Thanksgiving bonuses, ranging from $2,500 to $10,000 depending on seniority. Yes, in addition to year-end bonuses. It's not quite Milbank's summer "please love us, please stay, please bill" bonus extravaganza, but McKool's offering is nothing to sneeze at."
"Is it life-changing? No. Is it enough to buy a plane ticket home, a decent bottle of bourbon, and the emotional buffer required to survive a full Thanksgiving weekend with extended family? Absolutely. And this is the kind of gesture that keeps morale high - or at least above the level where associates start doom-scrolling job boards during lunch. So congratulations, McKool associates."
McKool Smith awarded special Thanksgiving bonuses to associates ranging from $2,500 to $10,000 depending on seniority, payable in addition to year-end bonuses. The Texas-based complex trial firm has a history of generous associate compensation and provided these bonuses as a holiday gesture. The sums are not life-changing but are sufficient to cover travel, a quality bottle of bourbon, and emotional cushioning for extended-family Thanksgiving gatherings. The bonuses are described as morale-boosting, helping to keep associates engaged and less likely to job-search during work hours. Recipients are encouraged to enjoy the bonus before year-end bonus season begins.
