[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The one good thing about BigLaw is that they hate to fire anyone and are really risk averse on litigation so will typically give a pretty long runway for you to look for something and/or decent severance for a release.

But I’d be pretty surprised if this is “that conversation” if there were no previous indications that things weren’t going well.  Unless there was a major screwup (client insulted, filing deadline missed, etc.). [/quote]

If you are recently back from maternity leave and want to negotiate more severence don't be afraid to raise the timing of this discussion as suspect. I might not say the word retaliation but you can infer it. [/quote]
Yes, it's at least the leverage you need to negotiate severance, not that they'll ever admit that the leave had anything to do with the alleged performance issues.[/quote]

That's why they want to steer away from reviews. OP has hard evidence of positive reviews and then is getting pushed out following a return from maternity leave. It's most likely cost cutting unrelated to the leave, but there is enough there to get more severance [/quote]
