[quote=Anonymous]I guess I've been totally spoiled -- I'm constantly surprised that some employers are less family friendly than big law firms. I've only been in big law, and pumping accommodations, paid maternity leave, insurance coverage for fertility treatments, etc. have always been standard. I took about a month of short disability before delivery (at full salary), then 4 month of paid maternity leave, an additional 2.5 months of unpaid maternity leave, then returned to work and didn't think twice about asking for a designated refrigerator space for my pumping parts and BM. While we didn't have a separate pumping room, I could pump in my office, and would've felt totally entitled to ask for a separate room, if I wanted. I couldn't leave in time for day care pick up on many days, though. And had to work most weekends. And most mornings before the baby work up, and every night after the baby went to sleep. So, I guess that is the trade-off.[/quote]
