Did your firm change its maternity policy for the worse? Did they then want you to sign it? What did you do?

Right after I got pregnant, my firm considered changing its policy to be a week shorter after I had covered 4 parental leaves for other attorneys in the last few years, and if they had done that I would’ve gone to management and asked to have been grandfathered in to the old policy, but it didn’t come to that. I do have a little bargaining power at my firm because I’m good at what I do and too many others have left my practice group, so I was hopeful they’d try to do right by me, but still I know it would have been up to them to make an exception and I wouldn’t have had any real power to make them do anything if they didn’t want to.

What state are you in? I'm in CA and at-will, so I'd be reluctant to push back.

Sorry, wasn’t my intention to write that response with an attitude. Just musing out loud guess I guess.

If I was already pregnant when they changed it I’d ask to be grandfathered in. Even if I wasn’t I would probably ask too if it wasn’t too long ago it had been changed, and there was a big discrepancy.

This is the only bowl I can think to post in, but I'm really feeling it today. Has anyone lost their best friend (i.e. through time/growing up) and feel like none of their current friends could live up to the fun/connection you used to have with your high school BFF? I feel like I put too much focus on that one friend and also my boyfriend and just never actually made time for anyone else. I fucked myself over.
