How did you inform HR when you are pregnant? I’m 20 weeks and starting to show so I wanted to tell my partners but wanted first to be in writing to HR. Was thinking of just asking for the maternity policy information I would need and benefits forms and to let them know I don’t want it shared outside of HR.

That will never happen. They will absolutely inform your partners. There is nothing confidential between HR and management.

I would just tell your partners and then right away send an email to HR. I get the wanting to document it thing.

I just emailed my HR and they sent over the applicable forms. I’m at a satellite office at a mid size firm so they really wouldn’t talk to the partners like that. I then told the partners in person after the email.

Thank you!

Don’t want your pregnancy shared outside of HR? That ship has sailed if you’re starting to show. I’m confused

Good to know. I’ll hold off so I can tell the people I want to at the same time I tell HR so hopefully no issues.

Why wouldn't you want your partners to know? They would need to know so they can make sure they aren't staffing you on projects during your maternity leave.

I would just rather tell them myself when I wanted to share the news. I don’t think they need a 4 month heads up for staffing, but would obviously tell them before that would become an issue.

I shared the news with the partners I work with closely before I shared with HR. They kept it under wraps before I reached out to HR. You could even see if one of the partners that you share with has that information or knows where to find it. We have a page where we can view all of our resources/benefits, etc.

Hi Fishes,

I received an offer (28 Lakhs + 3.9 Lakhs incentive) from Novartis for Sr Project Manager yesterday. This was just 13.6% more than my current earnings as Project Manager. I've given the reasons why I deserve at least 30% to HR. In response to that, HR has sent 2nd offer i.e. 29 Lakhs + 4 Lakhs incentive + 50k sign-on bonus. The 2nd offer is just 18.2% higher than my current earnings. Need your suggestion, if I could still negotiate with HR to finalize deal by asking for 25% hike?
