I am always on time (live and via zoom/teams) and if I am going to be late due to unforeseen events or a scheduling conflict, I communicate that with multiple people - I ask my EA to reply all to the invite with the info or do it myself if needed, I sometimes text key people, etc. Takes just a second but protects my brand.

Superrr nervous to tell my boss about my pregnancy. She’s a director. Married, no kids. In her 40s. I’ve always gotten the vibe she doesn’t like me very much… Q2 performance discussion went well and she gave me a sizable LTI recently but there is still something off… I’ve reported to her for ~6 months. I know the rest of the leadership team (other sr/directors and VP) will be super supportive but they are also all men with young-ish kids… Any tips??
