Biglaw Firm Dismays Associates With Increased Hours Requirement For Full Bonus
Briefly

The announcement of bonuses by Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati left many associates dissatisfied due to unexpected increases in bonus eligibility requirements and delayed payouts.
The shift in hours requirement for the special bonus—2000 instead of 1950—caught associates off guard, feeling it was a last-minute change that unfairly affected their eligibility.
Associates reacted strongly against WSGR’s decision to delay bonuses until March, which represents a significant change in the disbursal period, breaking from previous protocols.
The change in bonus structure by WSGR, especially the increase from an established 1,950 to 2,000 hours, has left many associates feeling betrayed and frustrated.
