[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a senior associate at a biglaw firm. I am also pregnant. This year my firm gave me only a very small bonus (like smaller than the first years get). I did just miss the criteria to get the BIG bonus, but in my experience the firm usually just discounts the bonus (by maybe 25%) for people who miss the criteria. I suspect that the reason the firm got cheap on my bonus is that they think I can’t move anywhere while I’m pregnant. BUT—jokes on them—I have another job lined up. I am about to give notice. Should I be honest about my suspicion about the reason for my low bonus, or should I just move on? [/quote] Just leave. You are not nearly as important as you think you are. Most of the senior partners neither know or care that you are pregnant. Your low bonus was calculated on your lack of peformance.[/quote]
