Some Pillsbury Staff Think Bonus Pool Is All Wet

High profits per partner may put stars in the eyes of a firm's highest paid lawyers, but sometimes that glow fails to trickle down to a firm's staff. That's apparently the case at Pillsbury Winthrop, which confirms that this year's staff bonus pool is $500,000 less than it was in the two previous years. The firm says that's because the earlier bonuses were artificially inflated to make up for salary freezes. But the reduction is causing some grumbling, regardless.
