Hey all, when would you say is a good time to inform your direct manager of your upcoming parental leave? Wife is expecting but not sure when I should tell my boss so we can plan on transitioning / back filing before I’m out. Thoughts please?

Tell them whenever you are comfortable. Usually once you have the 20 week scan and everything seems fine, it may be a good time to start making plans and preparations at home and also informing at your workplace.

I told my manager well in advance (4 months before the due date) just so that we can plan out the transition. I would say the earlier you let them know, the better

This new PTO policy is so bogus. I have a newly promoted senior that is still a staff on my large job and just told me they requested a week off during fieldwork, even though they have been unassigned for multiple weeks here and there all summer. They told me they were waiting until August so that they wouldn’t have to use their accrued time so they can bank it. So now I’m totally screwed and down a team member and my manager thinks “I can handle it”. My morale is at an all time low right now.
