FTM here, 22w along. At what point did you mention the news to clients and how’d you go about it? I’m mostly asking about those clients who you’ve only met virtually during the pandemic.

Week 35 just before maternity leave after transition. It wasn't awkward they kinda took it very well. Partner first called and told the client and then I spoke to my direct counterparts.

I feel like these life events should come up naturally if you have a good rapport. Don’t you know anything major going on in your clients life? I’m a big fan of “bring your whole self to work”.

That’s a bit easier for those clients I’ve actually met in person. Those I’ve only met virtually aren’t the same. The vast majority of my clients I can easily reach out to with no hesitation to share my great news. There are a few who I just haven’t built that same rapport with as it’s been all business this pandemic.

I’m wondering the same thing, also 22 weeks. One of the main clients I work with has a trial scheduled for the week after my due date, so if it’s not pushed off I may miss the trial and I don’t want to spring that on the client, but our relationship isn’t one where I’ve shared anything personal so idk how to approach it

I’ve always gotten the advice that when you want to switch jobs you should take interviews from places you’re not actually interested in, so you can understand your value in the market and have better negotiating power.

I’m doing that rn - took a couple interviews to gauge my skills, my market value, and see what I need to work on for interviews that I actually care about.

However, I feel really guilty about wasting their time and going all the way knowing I’ll just say no at the end. Wwyd?

We had an important project stakeholders meeting for which I prepared a presentation, delivered the presentation and answered some difficult questions in the Q&A. I ensured a few of the stakeholders that I'd follow up with some interesting links.
I prepared an email to follow up which was a collation of links, white papers in attachment etc which took the morning to put together. My colleague, who is a male who had initially set up the meeting and chaired it was to send the minutes after. (1)

Colleague has put in his resignation. They are offering him whatever he wants to stay including 4days a week work from home. He’s not bluffing and plans to leave. However, at this same time I was asked to begin working as a supervisor for the engineering team and I would get a promotion at the beginning of the year. I have been supervising and managing our team of 6 for months with no extra pay or bonuses. I was told yesterday that raises will be light this year. Yet today they spare nothing.

Any advice on telling your boss you’re leaving your team? For context, I’m the 4th one leaving within a month (boring product, not toxic or anything), and the manager id be telling is my skip level, as my old manager left the team and I’m actually moving to his new team. Trying not to throw shade on my old (new? lol) manager bc I know that he spent all of his career in this department before moving. Is there any way to soften the blow, other than just giving a 2-3 week notice?

We decided the best thing to do is just tell his friends (although a bit earlier than ideal) and then take the pressure off me to show up in any way that doesn’t feel good for me. I don’t even know what my question is…..
