After 5 1/2 yrs my company (my boss) is scr*wing me over...
Im not shocked, he is a bit of a back stabber and we butted heads a little just before I went out on maternity because he was really demanding and not understanding I was 8+ mos pregnant and feeling really bad and my commute was 3 hrs a day to NYC...
Anyway ....when I go back to work I no longer have my spot working for him.  I'm basically going to cover where needed until something opens up and if I'm interested I can take it. Gee thanks.
Five and a half years I worked for this guy. He came to my wedding...he hugged me when I left to have my baby and told me my job would be there when I came back. He called to congratulate me when I had her...now he scr*ws me over.
I'm sorry I just feel so disappointed. I just wanted to vent to you guys

Re: After 5 1/2 yrs my company (my boss) is scr*wing me over...
I'm sorry to hear that!! 
I could be wrong, but if you are out on FMLA, doesn't he have to hold your position until you come back? Isn't it illegal for him to do this?

Re: After 5 1/2 yrs my company (my boss) is scr*wing me over...
that stinks! Are u still covered under FMLA? If so he has to give you a similiar position with the same salary.
I would be looking for a new job.

That s*cks but maybe it's a blessing in disguise. Maybe you will get a position working with someone better...more generous and understanding.

That is correct, less than 50 employess, the employer can do whatever they want. Sometimes I wish men were able to have babies and see what we have to go through.

Tsk tsk tsk... even if FMLA isn't applicable, it's just bad company etiquette. But you should look into it - if FMLA DOES apply, what he is doing is illegal under the FMLA law...

Yeah they have to give me a job similar to mine and at my salary - which they have. They talked to me yesterday for a while and they were telling me I'm such a valuable employee and they dont want to lose me blah blah blah...its just his decision, not the company. My firm is big - my firm alone has 100+ attorneys so I'm not without a job, I just feel stupid about what he did to me...you know?

I dont know what the standard is but I believe you need to apply for FMLA. You can't just assume you have it. My company and my friends company are required to apply 2 months before the leave. I do hope everything works out for you

Re: After 5 1/2 yrs my company (my boss) is scr*wing me over...
I'm out on FMLA as of the last wk in June...they are giving me that, but I go back to work July 3rd. So they are doing what they need to according to the law. It is a nice company, most of the time, just my guy in particular is a bit of a back stabber.

Thank you!
Another law firm would be good or an in-house counsel type situation. I'm really open to anything.

Re: After 5 1/2 yrs my company (my boss) is scr*wing me over...
I understand your frustrations. My boss totally screwed me, and I've known him for 9 years. Worked for him in NYC and then in Atlanta. Came to my wedding 2 years ago in NYC, his wife gave me a present for my baby shower, etc. He laid me off at 8 months pregnant.....so at least you have a job. And the way I'm looking at it is, hopefully something better, more suitable will come along!

What an Azz. Try searching some legal job boards-here's some:

I would suggest looking for a legal recruiter too.

Re: After 5 1/2 yrs my company (my boss) is scr*wing me over...
I feel your pain. I've been with my company for 6 years - I'm a consultant for a large financial house in NYC - My deal when I left for maternity leave (for 6 weeks so that they wouldn't have to hire a temp - wound up being out for 8 becuz of a c-section) that I would only come into the office 3 days a week.
I've been back since January and in that time -my review date got pushed back by 8 weeks - my bonus was a 1/4 of what it normally is, and I've been given MORE responsibility so that I earn my extra 1% raise for next year. I've also been told that I may have to take on another account.
Like you, I feel like, I went out on maternity leave and I'm getting royally screwed!!

I know a few people at law firms if you want to FM me your resume. Also there is a good recruiter I've used Claire from Corporate Search.
That's horrible - especially after your "temp" was such a b1tch to you.
