We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.

You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.

Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
If someone is not paid increment and bonus do they leave or wait that the firm does not gain unjust enrichment? In the process of waiting, we also lose 50% bonus of the following year. It's almost September! Any advice in relation to firms that do not pay?
When you do not quit despite having been unfairly treated for a long time, every sane manager will know that you lack the confidence and depend on the Firm, both emotionally and financially, and will exploit the same.
If you are a corporate lawyer, there are plenty of tier 1 firms looking for laterals.
This bonus isn't just about money. It's his prestige and power at stake!
