At what point in pregnancy did you tell HR you were pregnant? What made you choose that timing? Any cons to sharing at a certain time?

I would wait to tell as long as possible. No one wanted to staff me when pregnant and when I returned from leave I got laid off.

I was very sick during my first trimester, so told my manager and HR around 8 weeks so my manager would let me work from home. I also got supplemental sick leave during pregnancy so went ahead and filed fmla for that approval

Nope, that’s the main trade off. 4 days a week of the office. It’s not 100% strict so if I need an extra wfh day occasionally I can usually get it, and I wfh around the holidays when I don’t take off. I get 13 sick days and 23 vacation days so the time off is workable, but I would love to wfh more. It’s really the only reason I may eventually leave. However, in a few years I go up to 28 vacation days, which will be hard to beat

After first trimester bc it was nice to have support on stepping away for dr and my transition plan / backfill was significant

My husband repeatedly claims domestic abuse falsely, and it’s getting too much. Now that I have kids he has started saying this to them and they say it back to me. I think he does this because he wants custody of kids or an upper hand when it comes to finances if we end up divorcing. Any ideas on how to handle this

How far do you require depts be with negotiating commercial contract terms before your legal review?

I feel contract training in my clients’ future...

Interviewing soon with EY for a senior role (TD FSO).

Assuming I get the job, would exit opportunities be worse if I am in FSO instead of the core group? Thanks!
