Date: April 20th, 2019 1:21 AM Author: Self-absorbed Canary Stage it is inhumane that lawcorps do not afford associates who have grinded it out 4-5 years at least one month sabbatical to get his/her life back on track.
this type of relief should be afforded to all hard-working single/unmarried men who do not have children.
Left and right, associates of all levels take maternity and paternity leave (providing the associate chill/downtime/recovery benefits).
howover, over my dead body will I reproduce soley for some time off.
Please advise. |

But, I like everyone I work with. And I like the nature of the work.
The problem is: it is an never-ending pile of work, including never-ending deadlines, constant on-site meetings, never-ending court-appearances, never ending briefing, and never-ending law firm functions. |

Point is that you can prbly just go on leave saying ur GF had a kid, adopt a kid at the start of leave and then return after a few day, or start to date a woman about to give birth (obviously don't sign anything saying that you are the father). |
