We had a guy give notice the day he got back from paternity leave. Practically it was ideal since he wasn’t staffed on anything, but the firm was furious and he burned a ton of bridges.
this makes sense and ppl would be rightfully pissed
My wife and she’s never been happier
We’ve had attorneys who chose not to come back after maternity leave. At the end of the day, everyone respects their decision. You have to do what’s best for you and your family.
For those who know people who did not go back, did the firm make them repay their leave?
I think the better option is to try to work with the firm on a schedule that works. If that does’t work after a few months, it’s more reasonable to bail.
OP- daycare was a non-starter for me too. I negotiated with a firm to work about 800 hours a year, super low stress, when my kids were small. I mostly worked while they napped but we also had a nanny. It worked well and kept me in the game. Leaving entirely is a big risk. I hope it works out OK for you.
