In person or zoom call. Don’t do it by email
I told HR and then told the head of my group via email. I know other posters have said not to share via email, but I think this comes down to the circumstances / your relationship with the relevant person. I can think of many lawyers I would have been compelled to tell in person or over a video call, but this boss isn’t one of them.
