… not that gimme-five is not worth reading.  But, for a good, but very sad read, check out Shinyung Oh’s blog, entitled “Because You Never Know.”  Shinyung Oh was a lawyer who worked at Paul Hastings who had a miscarriage and was laid off about a week later and told that it was for performance reasons even though she consistently received great performance reviews in the past.  The blog, which on has eight posts as of this writing, discusses her miscarriage, her career choice, her layoff, and more.  It’s extremely sad to read, but worth your time.  I don’t necessarily fault the firm for layoffs, per se, but honesty about the reasons for a layoff is essential in my view.  And regardless, Oh is certainly going through a difficult time right now.  I wish her the best.
