I’m in my last month of pregnancy and my review is now up. I’m ready to get promoted but don’t think it will happen cause I’m leaving, even a raise would be nice but again don’t think it will happen. What should I do during this review and ensure when I get back I’m on track?

Definitely communicate that you have no plans to step back, go part time, etc. and that your leave is like an extended vacation. The fear is that moms will decide to scale back to spend more time with baby, natural for many to want, but others are eager to come back to work.

Honestly the review is about rewarding how well you DID and areas of continued growth. So this SHOULD be about celebrating past performance to continue to motivate and inspire your best work.

IMHO, would be a jerk move to not reward you as deserved because you’re about to take maternity leave.
