Narcissism's highest point

Because both sides agreed to teh first couple of years knowing it was the contract. Both sides agreed to the last couple of years knowing it would be tossed by both sides, but was included as window dressing. You don't see players holding out over the last year, $15m part.

ETA: Oh, I get it now. You're just pissed at being an associate. If you bill loads of hours the partners pay you the same thing anyway, with maybe a token bonus. If you bill shite, you get canned.

Welcome to life.
