[quote=Anonymous]OP I was in this position. I was a lateral brought in from the a prestigious government agency with a lot of subject matter expertise as a senior associate (I was going to be put up for partner that year basically). A junior partner just had it out for me and spent my entire brief period making my life a living hell. Predictably stressful as I was expecting (they hired me knowing this) and the breadwinner.

I had a baby, took the maximum leave available and landed another job. I when I returned from maternity leave, the partner had a meeting with another partner to basically go over how terrible I was an basically give me notice.

I ended up laughing so hard I peed myself a bit. I announced my resignation, pointed out I was leaving to go in house at a company that wasn't a firm client (and hence not beholden to anyone's origination rights), stood up, and walked out in the sunshine.

Been here ten years. I manage a legal budget of ~20 million a year.

And I still won't hire anyone associated with that firm (or that horrid woman who was hell bent on ruining my life).[/quote]
