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?

Or get laid

Depends on the situation. I understand in her case because the entire group was laid off. If she was targeted because she was pregnant (even under the guise of performance based) then I would suspect she would have thought twice about coming back.

If I needed a job and they were hiring, then yeah, I would.

Yes but I would negotiate the highest pay as if I will not be on partner track. I don't personally know a single boomerang who came back to my firm at a SM level in my office and who was then promoted to partner. (I do know boomerangs who came back as a partner.) So if I were her, I would negotiate EVERY year for my pay.

No if she just wanted to pay the bills I would have gone to private for higher pay and work life balance for the kids. Seems to be chasing partner track imo

Advice and/or consolation anyone? My wife and I (both above average health 30year olds) were trying for 11 months before getting pregnant and then had a week 5 early miscarriage a few months back.

We got back to it and have been trying for the last 2 months again, still no luck. We’re freaking out… all we want is a family. Any similar stories? Advice? 😢
