Does corporate look down on junior partners?

Posted on Author Donna Barstow

woman's promotion means they won't call her names any moreLawyers are not equines

First off, I love donkeys, so this isn’t that mean. Second, I know how partners vs non-partners  or junior partners are, so this cartoon isn’t much of an exaggeration in interoffice politics.

Third, be happy for her. I don’t know what her new title is with this promotion to junior partner, but it will almost certainly be better than “ass”.

Barron’s bought this cartoon, thank you very much. I was thinking attorneys when i wrote it, since that’s who I know, but it works in banks and corporate, too…I think.

Here’s how to buy this or any Business cartoons for powerpoint, advertising, newsletters, blogs, textbooks, etc.

ID #3959ii      Caption: Congratulations. As junior partner, you will no longer be called a donkey. (supervisor tells employee she made partner and will get a new title.)
