I’m expecting a baby! My biggest worry is I’m expecting a promotion, increment and bonus by end of this year. Should I break the news to my boss? Would it impact the $ I can get?

Which stone age company are you working with?

Congrats! So it certainly shouldn’t impact any of those things but my advice would be to hold off on sharing the news as long as feasible.

First of all, congratulations!

I think most people wait till at least the end of the first trimester before breaking the news to family and friends. Coworkers and bosses would come after that. Is there any particular reason you'd want to tell your boss earlier than that?

Thanks! Nope I don’t expect to break the news early. Just wondering when’s a good time.

The only thing I’ll add is that my bonus was prorated for the time I was on leave. Just FYI (not that you have control over this).

It shouldn't affect those things. I've known many people who were promoted, even to SM or PMD, while they were on parental leave.
