salary from the firm while sitting on your ass' during maternity leave

A law firm in Cleveland terminated one of its partners after a text message he sent was posted online that shamed a former colleague for leaving the firm after her maternity leave.

The firm, Zashin & Rich, confirmed in a LinkedIn post on Tuesday that it let go of partner Jon Dileno. The text in question, which he'd sent a female attorney, read in part, "What you did — collecting salary from the firm while sitting on your ass, except to find time to interview for another job — says everything one needs to know about your character," according to a screenshot of the message shared online.

In the law firm's post, co-managing partner Stephen Zashin wrote that the firm made the decision to terminate Dileno after discussions with its attorneys and clients, calling it a "sad and challenging time for our firm."

"I apologize to my former colleague who received the inappropriate text and I am disappointed that this happened on my watch," Zashin said in the statement.

As an attorney you're not very bright.

3. That's the bad part.

The DUMB part is, he wrote it down and hit send. To a lawyer. And he’s a lawyer.

That’s like a cop robbing a bank while in uniform.

9. Just another male whose knowledge of human reproduction

begins and ends in where to stick it in and he likes it that way. Most of them only say shit like that to each other, though.

"Too stupid to live" is my call.

Good for him.
