Given our current economic climate, it's not surprising that some firms may be a bit touchy when it comes to letting people go. After all, it's not as if a laid-off associate has many options available to them, and they may get a bit touchy about being thrown out on the street. If the following rumor is true, however, we're going to need some details. We received the following tip yesterday:
Our [redacted] just visited Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck to [redacted]. He tried to take the elevator to the 16th floor, but the elevator would not allow him to do so until he checked in with security. He spoke to one of the secretaries there who informed him that a few employees have been laid off and they supposedly "got violent" while leaving. So now everybody has to check in with security before accessing Brownstein because of the lockdown. But that's just the word on the street...
Indeed. Did BHFS recently do a round of layoffs, or was this rumored policy instituted when that supposed "lone associate" got cut back in April? Anyone from BHFS care to confirm, deny, or define "got violent?"
Oh, damn ... please tell us this won't affect our access to Jason's Deli! Where will we get our Po'boys?!
(Thanks, Tipster!)
UPDATE: Well, BHFS is in "lockdown" mode, but it isn't because of disgruntled employees. Apparently, the increased security is due to threats one of their attorneys received in relation to a case. Thanks for the clarification, Karen.

No lay-offs. No disgruntled employees. Just death threats from a defendant.
BHFS recently advertised an associate position here in Vegas.
In response to threats one of our attorneys received in relation to a case, our firm has enacted increased security measures to ensure the continued safety of our employees. This is in no way associated with current or former employees.
What are they doing, representing the mob or something?
BHFS is representing Judge Miley. Ed came around shooting his gun off and strangling puppies.
Everybody giggle... it's another Miley joke. Have we kicked this dead horse enough?
