....15 CAM partners who have quit since April. CAM OVER.

Next headline should be "Explosive: Cyril and Vandana set to leave CAM"... Then only Rishi Bhai stays....

"lifestyle choice" seriously

Will the king of capital markets also quit?

Spouse will follow. Yash Ashar next. This is a repeat of Padmini quitting before VP.

is any one still with CAM or the entire bunch has got off the ship ?

Gurpreet, we will miss you!!!!

heard ashar may follow suit? is it true??

What does this mean-as if they dictated the choice "As a law firm we will have lawyers make lifestyle choices.” Strange choice of words from Cyril.

Kian, are you watching the newshour?? Arnab is going ****ing crazy!! He has leaked tapes of Peter Mukerjea and lawyers on the show have declared that this is enough for a conviction!! WTF is this? ?And Peter Mukerjea's son brought up Arnab's wife conflict of interest and Arnab shouted him down.

Please report this. This is blatant contempt of court.

Law Firm is a small world starts with eye contact - Intern - job - love - marriage/ break up - accordingly quit and join and move around the same circle - getting old - start a small firm or counsel practice or GC - Owners happy with promoting their son. daughter ( only constant )

Good plot wrong comment thread

[...] Ipsita which wipes out a practice. Cam's famous HR rollout had 5 partners address the Firm in May : Vishwanathan, Yash, Reeba, Nisha and Ipsita. Nisha quit, Ipsita quit - two down three more to go. Looks like moreCAM exits in the offing.

So what's the verdict? CAM deserves to be hated and all other firms are perfect! If your lives in your new firms have become so perfect, why are you still so hooked onto cam. Is it that junior lawyers or senior partners don't leave other firms or is it that firms other than cam never ever take any wrong calls? If you have left cam and are still so bitter about it, that's your problem and not the firm's. You might have worked for a challenging boss but that gives you no right to judge the whole firm. Once your honeymoon phase at your new firms is over, your life may still go back to being what it was.Any real lawyer / person knows how to handle defeat or a bad past and move on to not repeat past mistakes / decisions. It's time people try to get a hold of their lives than bother about that of others.

Why are partners leaving in droves?

Could it be because there's no one -senior- in their HR team after their HR director resigned around 8-9 months ago? And that partners have no senior figure to vent out their frustrations, if any, to? Surely a senior HR head, who could have calmly talked, soothed, discussed, and lent an sympathetic ear to, could have eased some of the the partner pain, which would have resulted in lower number of senior exits?

Also, some consistent rumors about -entire- CAM IT dept soon to be asked to leave as cost-reduction measure. And that HR will follow suit...

@Kian, Any truths? Investigate?

@kian-why have you not reported about CAM not yet announcing the increments/ promotions, even after promising the same way back in March. Not the first time the management has gone back on their word. Poor workers, rich owners.

Nothing has changed since the times mill workers used to work here in the mills area without pay or disproportionate pay. Just that workers are now white collared workers or in some cases night walkers (read long hours).

Kian you really need to post all your comments. Part of the reason CAM is not able to do well is the Mumbai leaders had no definite strategy and believed that they could succeed riding on their brand value. Unlike Zia who totally rocks and generates enough business to feed a nation - Cy and Va have failed on account of assuming their brand was enough and that they did not need to generate work merely because they are managing partners. Instead they ask even the junior lawyers to generate work. Not sure what kind of a business model that is - who knows what next - the security guard will be asked to generate business or leave. They have brought in a rockstar awesome partner to head Delhi and who can turn things around in Delhi but they need to let him do that instead of relying on [...] whose only fetish is are the tables dusted, are the small water bottles being given to associates and big bottles to partners, and dress codes and with no [...] survival technique - pandering to the shroffs. [...] The reason why CAM is in the news for not succeeding is because the original leaders have had no vision and have played with people's fate.
