Surprised no one has mentioned this. 2400 productive hours is ridiculous to require from associates... I've only heard of stuff like this as a partner req. I think Quinn essentially has a productive hours req since everything is "billable" and even theirs is only 2100. Has K&S lost it? You can't increase hours reqs by 20%... especially when you aren't even a top top firms and no one gives a shit about what you do... best of luck keeping talent; I for one would have started reaching out to recruiters the day I got this message...
