Did your supervisor check in on you while you were on maternity leave? I haven't heard from my supervisor and just view it as another reason why she's a bad manager / supervisor.

They only checked to see that delivery went well and the otherwise left me alone. I appreciated that

If you are on FMLA for your maternity leave aren't they supposed to not have contact with you?

like

Agree. They should not be checking in with you. The only reason to contact you is to check if you are still coming back to work as agreed.

They said congrats and sent flowers, and then left me alone, which is what I wanted.

I don’t think this is something to hold against your supervisor. They’re just giving you space to be with your new family and not think about work

They should stay away from you so you can recover and bond with your child.

Nope, but I brought baby into the office after lunch downtown with a couple close work friends and everyone was thrilled to meet her and asked how I was doing then. I wouldn’t have expected anything more than that. A couple partners I was working with when I started my leave sent baby gifts which was very sweet and unexpected.

No, but I believe he was worried about speaking to me while on leave to avoid any work conversation boundaries while on leave.

I will add though my office threw me a nice shower and got me gifts so I felt supported.

No. Our firm does birth announcements, and I got a few congratulations but otherwise, they left me alone. I view respecting your time off while you bond with your child as a good thing.

like

Nope. I let my supervisor and the people I work with know when the baby came and sent some pictures then and over time, but they tried to give me space other than responding when I reached out.

like

No. Staff sent a gift. You think not asking how you are during mat leave makes someone a bad manager? Tough crowd.

Surprised by this. I was in the military and there people would reach out to check in on you. I've also had former bosses reach out to me when I've had a child to check in on me. I just assumed that my current boss didn't care (she barely said congrats to me when I told her about the baby).

If you are in California, it’s likely due to labor laws-your employer can’t contact you while you are on medical leave. Harsh, I know but no one wants to get sued so they play it safe.

I’m a 4th-year at a midsize firm doing mostly oil and gas work, but I’m looking to change practice areas so I can get away from a dying/morally problematic industry and move into EC/VC, Corporate, tech transactions, and/or privacy and cybersecurity (have CIPP/US & /E).

Anyone else just sitting around waiting for the ax to drop? I'm a soon to be 2nd year corporate associate who has seen work completely dry up. My utilization held pretty steady around 50% immediately after shutdown, but August was below 15 billables with no appreciable work in the pipeline. Aside from letting people know I'm available and doing pro-bono/CLE, it's starting to feel like a serious "covidcation" leading to termination.
