How did you handle telling your client you were pregnant? I told my team around 12 wks, have told my client peers as it comes up, but now at 20 weeks and apparently our client sponsor is miffed (cont)

You don’t have to apologise for not telling someone you’re pregnant. There are a lot of reasons you may have waited.

I would suggest scheduling a coffee with her and telling her in person if you’re comfortable with that. If you’re not just let it ride and mention it casually when you are next in a meeting.

In no way feel the need to APOLOGISE for not telling her that’s crazy.

That is bananas. You are under no obligation to tell anyone of your pregnancy. There are many reasons that you would have waited to tell someone.

I’m reading a bit between the lines, but TBH, it sounds more like your client sponsor is annoyed at your PM for not sharing with her major changes to the team that we’re communicated with other people and not with her. If a team member was rolling off for any other reason unrelated to pregnancy, it should be the responsibility of the PM to appropriately convey those changes to the client sponsor at the right time. This is no different. You and your PM maybe should have gotten alignment on exactly how you wanted to share your roll-off with the client- but at the end of the day, staffing changes to teams are the responsibility of the PM.

You’re so right. And I’m flustered that my PM is putting this on me now. He is well-meaning but doesn’t want to “say the wrong thing” or break some HR rule so looks like he avoided the topic completely. I’ll bring it up with him again first - thanks for the perspective.

That no one told her. Kind of assumed my project manager would bring that up. She found out looking at a project plan that had my availability grayed out beginning in September (but idk who put that together). Point is, now I feel SO awkward and my project mgr wants me to write her an email announcing and kind of apologizing for not telling her yet. Thoughts?

You don’t have to tell unless you want to

most of what I bring up in these meetings are logistical or prioritization concerns but I feel like my manager is expecting a lot more from me.

This is more of a rant than anything but advice is welcome. I’m so fed up with my manager micromanaging everything.

I’m at a loss for what to say to them because I’ve tried repeatedly to fix this to no avail.
