For those who started remote - how did you tell your team your pregnant? I've been working at this company for 7 months now and am also 7 months pregnant (basically found out I was pregnant when I accepted the job offer...been a crazy year to say the least). I've been switched around departments a couple of times so have really only been working with the team I'm on now for a couple of months. Feels weird to announce on our daily stand up since I usually stay on mute for those. Any advice?

I told people mostly individually

Same. Mostly individually. Some people never even knew until I was out. Obviously as it got closer I had coverage change meetings/emails about who to contact

I didn’t start remote, but worked entirely remote some time back. They found out when my two-month-old briefly cried during a call once. That’s when I told them I had been pregnant through several projects with them.

Similar story to you - got pregnant shortly after starting a new job. I told my supervisor first and then mainly told people individually. Once a few chatty people knew, the news spread and I was happy to not have to share it myself.

Started remote too. We had our first in-person team meeting when I was about 18 weeks along. I ended up blurting it out when I approached the team because I was pretty sure it was apparent 😂

Solve a debate for me I think my husband is way underpaid. He has 5 years of experience in all kinds of dev but has specialized in cloud computing.

What would you think a remote employee should be making with 5 years of experience.
