Many top law firms have various bonus structures, some tied to hours billed, leading associates to work long hours to meet thresholds for bonuses.
It's often better for law firms to award higher bonuses, even to those who just miss the threshold, as it can boost morale and goodwill.
When I worked under an output-based bonus system, I calculated I was close to the threshold, but ultimately, some of my work wasn't counted.
After my hard work, I mentioned to my employer that I thought I met the higher threshold but was upset when it didn't count.
