I have been working my tail off since coming back to work after a parental leave (which my boss was not happy or impressed about me taking) to get back in good standing. Today was my bi-annual review and the partners left me such glowing reviews it left me in tears to see that my hard work to both be there for my family and make it in my career has been noticed 😭

You shouldn't have to work extra because you took time off for family (something you're entitled to under the law). Congrats to you, but consider looking elsewhere, because it sounds like a toxic environment if they were "not happy or impressed" about you taking parental leave.

Yeah, it was mostly frustrating because it was not communicated beforehand, but 🤷🏻‍♂️. I’m happy enough (especially because I can bump back tracks now), the firm has a lot of flexibility generally, and I’m keeping an eye open for better opportunities with no urgency to get out now.

Congrats!! 🎉💕 Screw your boss. You deserve it!

One of my senior managers is a boomerang and told me she was laid off when she was 7 months pregnant about 10 years ago. I think she was a senior or manager. She was in a specific group and everybody was laid off. It wasn’t performance based.

Would you work at your company again if you were laid off?

I had a baby almost a year ago. I should start a 529 account for my child but I am originally from France which also makes her a French citizen and she could easily go to college in France for not much money. It’s pretty much free there, I have 0 Student loan debt. With that in mind, a 529 would not be super helpful if we go that route. Should I consider other options? Do you have suggestions? Thanks so much!

I on L1 visa which is expiring on Dec 1. My wife is on L2 and currently pregnant and due on Dec 19.
