Say nothing about the baby. Go to the meeting, see what happens. If you don’t get what you want, look for a new job while on leave.

I switched jobs at 7 mos. pregnant. Don’t assume options are off the table; some companies do look at the bigger picture that getting great talent is the most important and maternity leave is just a period of time. See what happens in the meeting but if it didn’t go your way, don’t assume you’re stuck.

Definitely would not mention the pregnancy. You deserve a fair chance at this promotion you have been working toward.
I have also started new jobs once at 8 months pregnant (they knew) and once at 5 months (they didn’t know). Agree with the above two comments from VP1 & VP2.
All the best to you and congrats on expecting!

Hey guys… I’m a case worker in child safety and I’m someone who loves being outdoors/dies at a desk all day. I’m hoping to organise that at least once a week I can go to a cafe and catch up on all my case notes that need to go into the system.
So far the only reason I’ve been told no is that “if you do then everyone will want to and then no one will be in the office” … how can I convince them that I work better out of the office and get this freedom & mental break for myself?

Has anyone ever done aggression training for their dog? Met with a trainer who basically wants us to either keep our dog crated or on a leash at all times and said no pets or play time for now. Our dog has been acting out ever since we brought home our newborn and also bit our groomer. Trainer has me terrified that the dog will hurt the baby but my heart is breaking that I can’t give any “love” to my dog right now. Any similar experiences or thoughts?
