Modern Slavery

There is a law firm here in DC that pays its employees poorly, but dangles a HUGE bonus in front of them when they finish the fiscal year. They have a reputation of forcing their people to work unusually long hours. A real sweatshop.

If you believe the stories, each year, the day after the bonuses go out, they get resignations from something like 10%-20% of their employees. Seems like a pretty crazy business model. Instead of having people come and go throughout the year, they have a massive turnover all at once.
