Go home and write a declaration, write that you are fearful of the lack of work being retaliation and take it to a notary and execute it. This will become a prior consistent statement. I would also go see a psychiatrist and discuss your fear too. Same deal.

Thanks. This is totally not my style. I am not going to see a psych or get any notarized declaration. I think I am a valuable employee and just want to positively reintegrate. I hope that I do not have to move on but am also open to other opportunities if my firm decided they did not want me!

Have you talked to anyone about it? I was staffed on a trial immediately after my return from maternity leave with my first and it was a complete disaster. When I spoke to staffing partner later she said it’s very hard for her to get things right with new moms - if she hadn’t given me the opportunity to do that trial, that would have been a whole different problem, too. I say this because maybe people are really just trying to be respectful and give you space to do the new mom thing. If you’re asking for work and they’re not giving it you, that’s a whole different story….

How slow and how long have you been back? Also depends on the practice area. If transactional, I’d say enjoy it unless you’ve been slow for a prolonged period of time.

About 6 weeks. I have about 60 billable and then the rest is pro bono and business development/recruiting hours.

I was talking with my director the other day about how I think the US should be implementing longer maternity leave policies and generally better parental leave policies for parents who have given birth/had a partner give birth/adopted a child, and she said it was "a crackpot idea meant to push socialist agendas."
