Wage Law

Drifting a bit off topic today, if you haven't seen this departure memo from an associate leaving the San Francisco office of Paul Hastings, you've missed quite a story. She complains that the firm gave her great reviews until it decided to start a round of layoffs, and she blasts the firm for blindsiding her right after she suffered a miscarriage. Paul Hastings denies that it is laying off associates. Whether or not you enjoy legal soap operas, the original story, broken by Above the Law, is interesting because, inter alia, it includes a copy of the standard Paul Hastings separation agreement.
