it worked out really well for me. i had no case b/c i was technically on an annual contract that just didn't get renewed. so i went on unemployment, actually netted more than when i had been at work (b/c i didn't have to pay for childcare), and i had a really happy time being a sahm for a year. they called me back the next year to say they realized they needed me and will i come back. (it was a huge boost for my ego!). so i'm back there now, doing almost the same exact job as wehn i left. [ Reply | More ]

thanks, that would be helpful! Were you successful? I am just wondering how much I push this before they give me something more. I would prefer not to go to court. [ Reply | More ]

I really feel sorry for you. I got half of my supposedly guaranteed bonus when I was pregnant, and I'm still angry about it so if I was fired I would be livid. [ Reply | More ]

Wow, you had a guarantee and they only paid 1/2 of it? What was the rationale? Did you sue? [ Reply | More ]

They argued the whole group got less than expected. I didn't sue, I just took my maternity leave and then quit. It was a lot of money, but sueing would have been more $$$. [ Reply | More ]

But a guarantee is a guarantee, no? That's why people get them in IB! [ Reply | More ]

I am a defense-side employment lawyer. I've had cases against all sorts of plaintiffs' lawywers, and these are some of the best of the plaintiffs' employment bar, imho. They are probably expensive, but if you have a strong case, they'd probably do it on a contingency basis. Good luck! [ Reply | More ]
