LawTalkers - Welcome back E/O, leagl and Fringey: no one say the name "Penske" 3 times in a row

Presumably that's on top of whatever payments they've been making to buy in, right? They're only hitting the non-equity partners. They're not hitting the associates who are up but who haven't made it yet.

TM

Do non-equity partners have to buy in at most firms? I am, thankfully, fairly clueless about this.

Maybe like two balloons being blown up?

I have given you enough help. It is time for you to spread your wings and fly. I use this expression to hopefully eclipse Sidd's creepy "odd cuts of meat" metaphor.

These titles are going the way of airline terminology. "Non-stop" means the plane lands 3 times between takeoff and final destination, but you don't get off unless the TSA says you should.

Didn't think of that; been too long since I had direct exposure to a firm that speaks that euphemistically.

It hasn't been the practice at the several firms I have direct knowledge of, but it seems like it's spreading.

Yeah, I was going to ask you for a ruling on whether Sidd's post made you want to rethink your proclamation on Burger's oddly latent iphone post.

I thought that was "direct" and non-stop meant, in fact, no stops until the final destination. Have I been deceived?!?

It also gives the "partner" the ability to tell others he's a partner. Instead of feeding you more money, the equity partners feed the ego. And it costs them nothing.

As for me, I will be reviled as a pathetic aging stoner and bad parent, which basically puts me a half step ahead of Hank. At least that handsome Pirate dude has my back.

wouldn't sidd's daughter be "on his team?" him saying he's a New Mexico soccer player means Sidd will pull some other girl's ponytail, assuming sidd and his daughter agree she is a rival. kind of like the Texas cheerleader mom? but maybe I'm whifferoooskiing?

True, but I didn't call it and instead just posted a response. I figured it was more sportsmanship-like, and in this era of French sporting skullduggery, we need positive role models in this arena. For the children. I did it for the children.

there are two kinds I've seen. one is a "holding pattern" on the way to full partnership. some N.E. never move beyond, some do. the "pie" is that you don't have to put up with the indignation of partners reviewing you anymore.

the other is just a position where you are parked for your career.

I have never heard of a buy-in for either. this firm sees a possibility of coming up with some money by fucking with the immobile. they'll give them some share? great. anyone wanna bet if it'll equal or exceed 15% of their comp?

Namaste, atks.
