[quote=Anonymous][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. [b]What do you think about that? I know they assigned me to this guy for abuse as a way of punishing my maternity leave[/b].[/quote]

What makes you think this?  Anything happen to you before your leave that stands out?

I ask for a couple of reasons, including that one option may be to tell the firm you think this and explain why.  It will (or should) trigger an investigation into your allegations which will at least buy you time to look for a job (and maybe a nice package to walk away).  If you just walk away, they will always be able to tell the story they want (you can't cut it, etc).

THat said, it would have been better for you to do this when he first reached out.

DO you have anyone there you trust?  A mentor or anything?

OP here, it happened to another associate while I was here. There is almost no other explanation for the way she was treated before and after. Plus, when I announced my pregnancy, I was "jokingly" warned by a partner in another group that my group would make me "work off" my maternity leave.[/quote]
