Following our first swipe at the allegation of Pied Piper Alderman departures of juniour lawyers last week, came the following scathing comments from an anonymous PA spy over the weekend:
The recent story on Piper Alderman is nothing but the truth. To add insult to injury, those who leave the firm within 2 years of starting are required to repay the $6,800 the firm pays towards the College of Law, which is extracted through strong-arm tactics and threats by their Human Resources Manager in Sydney. If anything, the biggest problems at Piper Alderman are being caused by the HR manager, who, in a common theme, was also promoted
very early on her career.In regards to promotions, the lawyer promoted to Senior Associate after only 2 and a bit years PQE is in fact the sister of the firms most profitable partner …
Hmmm – these rumoured “strongarm tactics” tactics sound familiar. Does anyone recall the medieval story of the Pied Piper? Legend has it that:
when citizens refused to “pay the piper” for the service [of catching rats with his magic pipe], he retaliated by turning his magic on children, leading them away to their demise…
There is nothing quite like hardballing a junior, is there?
Does your firm enforce debts with strongarm tactics?
