    They will pay you big bucks, minus 12% of course!

    That Alan Becker is a real genius. His 12% pay cut plan worked like a charm. Now there is more Room at the Top since all the good lawyers left. Muah!

    For a firm that markets itself as "Business and Legal Strategists," how is cutting lawyers' pay 12% a good business move? How many log cabins can be built with that 12%?

    I like the guys that figured it out and left all at once to start their new firm! I don't know if this is true, but I heard that all of the paralegals and secretaries went too. With all the good lawyers gone, all that's left now is a bunch of tired, worn-out bags.

    I don't know why Mr. Becker keeps smiling in his photos. If even one half of what's in the article is true, I would have been gone years ago.

    WTF?? I am in the Prague office and no one told me about any damn pay cut!!! Holy smokes!

    What are they going to do about getting new lawyers? I cannot believe that any decent lawyer would ever go there after all of this has come out. Their clients must be dying.

    WAAAAAAAHHHHH! I heard they're changing the name of the firm to "The Pecker Firm." Once a pecker, always a Pecker.

    It's really a shame. I remember when the firm of Becher & Poliakof was one of the hottest firms around. It seems to me that whatever they were doing then must have worked, because this Becher guy just took over management a few months ago and already made a disaster of the whole firm. Go figure.

    I read these articles about these guys and then I went to the Becker website. Can you believe that these yutzes would have the nerve to put their names as the firm's management?

    This Becker guy has it all figured out. He must've taken finance at Wharton. Borrow money from all of your associates at 0% and pay it back with a kick in the pants.

    I am a recruiter and just about every lawyer from that firm has a resume out and is looking for a job. Something must not be right over there.
