Alvin Davis On Firing "A Couple," "Some," and "A Few People."

Intrepid reporter Julie Kay delivers this deliciously rich language from Alvin in describing layoffs at SSD:

Alvin Davis, managing partner of Squire Sanders' Miami office, said on Friday that nine employees in Miami were laid off at the firm on Thursday, including "a couple runners, some staffers and a few people in accounting."

Got it -- what a bunch of anonymous nobodies.

And here's talented legal recruiter Abbe Mald Bunt on the significance of these firings:

"Part of it is humans have been replaced by technology, but the sad part is technology is not who gathers in the communal kitchens to keep the culture and spirit of a firm alive."

Note to Abbe -- those kitchen-lurking slackers usually consist of "a couple runners, some staffers, and a few people in accounting."

Anyways, what are you talking about -- have you seen that rockin' shirt/vest/glasses combo?

The spirit's alive, baby, oh yes it's alive.
