+1 Let chips fall where they may. Best in the long run. [/quote]

OP here, do you think they can revoke my maternity leave if I give them that much advance notice?[/quote]

Why do you think you are entitled to paid leave if you have no intention of returning?  For someone who has gone to law school, you seem entirely lacking in common sense.  Tell them immediately.  The longer you wait, the more bad feelings there will be.[/quote]

OP here. Why should I be treated differently (worse) than someone that got another job and waited a while to give their 2-week's notice?  The maternity leave is a benefit I receive because I put in at least a year of working with them (5 years to be exact). [/quote]

Then ignore the advice and do what you want. I wouldn't hire someone who knowingly took advantage of a maternity leave policy/came back for one day/etc. It shows a total lack of ethical responsibility. Give your two weeks now, then go unpaid til you start your new job. That's if you want to do the right thing. They may even reward you for honesty and agree to pay it out.[/quote]

Agree with this poster.  DC is a small town.  Everyone knows everyone and you shouldn't burn bridges.  Don't try to game the system.  Women like you make it harder for the rest of us to take leave without our employers thinking we're not going to come back.[/quote]
