A San Francisco attorney at the firm Paul Hastings recently made waves when she publicized that she was laid off from her firm less than a week after a procedure following a miscarriage. It's an ugly dustup. The attorney declined the firm's offer of three month's salary in return for a non-disclosure agreement. Instead her open letter to the firm has been widely circulated, and now her glowing past performance evaluations are out on the net as well.
Read about it in The Juggle, the Wall Street Journal's excellent blog about work-life balance issues:

(more lighthearted topics on The Juggle range from high heels to work-provided backup childcare (oo!) to whether it's worth it to go to a school event if you can only be there for 20 minutes.
