Read moreThe Firm Spy takes some credit from the recent revelation that AAR will this year be indulging staff with a Christmas Party! We counted no less than 5 articles (including the very popular Firm Spy Downlow Medal post) in which the Firm Spy has lambasted the firm for the irresponsible decision to shelve last year's festivities, only for staff to see partners pocket up to a reported $1,400,000 last year.

It is interesting that the partners have chosen to carefully calibrate the bonus as a one-off payment, rather than a more permanent increase in our wages, annualised in each monthly pay. This means that when the ...
