[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's hard enough to return from maternity leave in the best of circumstances. These are more like the worst of circumstances! Preserve your sanity, and resign now.[/quote]
OP here - this is what my instincts are telling me to do. As a classic overachiever turned big law punching bag, however, I have a hard time saving myself. I am also afraid quitting will make finding the next job incredibly hard. What do you think about that? [b]I know they assigned me to this guy for abuse as a way of punishing my maternity leave.[/b][/quote]

That makes you sound a little crazy when you say the firm is punishing you.  It makes way more sense that the asshole partner has burned his way through his last associate and needs someone else for the admittedly large amount of work he generates and you, just coming back from maternity leave and with no pending matters, are the most logical choice.

My advice to is to stick it out because you're either (i) in an in-demand practice area and will get another job shortly in which case no big deal to put up with asshole for a few weeks or (ii) in a less in-demand practice area and it will take you longer to find a new job and you don't want to have a long period of unemployment on your resume.[/quote]
