I'm sorry to hear this Mustang. Yes, true, be grateful that you still have a job.

Hope you are still hunting around elsewhere.

Honest, I think the large private law firm culture just doesn't encourage the majority of lawyers to think about sacrificing their own bonuses to help even out the benefits for all employees in the organization.

It might be different working for a legal division in government or for legal aid, where lawyers are on set salary instead of bonus system. I have far more enormous respect for lawyers working in legal aid (which is non-profit) who are in the public eye a great deal because they are paid by our tax dollars but they alot less money than the lawyers working in large law firms.
