I actually considered doing this as a prank before, but I'm too lazy. If I had, I would have gone higher that 145K. It's not that surprising - Quinn is obviously trying to make a name for itself as a compensation leader. They also have a growing NY office (i think almost 70 now), so they were going to have to match the 145K for that office anyway. It's smart - I think they're all going to go to 145K (b/c firms like Gibson have policies on equal pay among offices), so why not be one of the first.

point taken. i just think most firms view it as bad business to have unequal pay between offices (although it's acceptable if they hide it in bonuses).

Yeah, I understand this. You can see on Greedy SF/SV there's already some grumbling about MoFo NY going to $145k and their supposed "one firm" policy.

It'd be the first informal email regarding raises I've seen. Pretty cool if the firm is that laid back, but kinda doubt it. I mean, it might as well read:

"Whats up. We're raisin' first year salaries in NY...not sure about the other years. Late."

I would think they would just want salary announcements. I mean, have you ever heard the complaint "I didn't like the managing partner's tone when he gave me a raise."

Even when I've worked in informal and casual environments, I think it's good if the administrative stuff was formal in terms of policy and procedures. Makes it seem a little more reliable and predictable.

Subject: Salaries

Salutations ladies and gentlemen. I would like to congratulate you on the spectacular work you have been doing. The Compensation Committee and I have met and we have decided to raise first year salaries to $145,000 for first years. The figures for other years will be adjusted as well.

I would also like to remind you that only Fridays are designated as casual days in the office. Some of the partners have reported seeing non-pleated slacks on other days of the week. Please refer to the employee manual on the firm dress code.
