[quote=Anonymous]Big Law partner here: I agree with the posters who say it depends. It is very, very hard to find really good lawyers, and for women who fall into this category, firms are desperate to have them back. For people who are just kind of ok, firms don't really care if they come back or not, and for people who are mediocre, sometimes firms are rooting for them not to come back, as it does save the trouble of having to fire someone. It is annoying when someone treats their maternity leave as a (substantial) departure bonus, but that is just a cost of doing business these days, and you are probably better off rid of people who are that mercenary anyway.
