Do you have anyone to vouch for you? If the review isn’t going to be positive (either negative or neutral) I might consider opting out personally.

Are you the PwC fish from the other post too?

Opting out this year for PY19 will grant you the same performance tier you received last year (PY18). It will not have any impact on your PY20 tier, which will be evaluated based on the time you were there and impact you had during that year. When are you returning from mat leave?

Personally,I would only NOT opt out this year if I had a crazy awesome partial year and know I would deserve a better tier than last year. Sounds like that’s not the case for you, so you should def opt out and not stress too much through the rest of your pregnancy :)

I will definitely considering opt out this year, how does it affect me when I get back from maternity leave?

How far into the next cycle will you be?
