Firstly congratulations!! I wouldn’t be worried at all. The only thing I would check is if they will pay maternity leave if you’ve been there less than a year.

Worried about...?

Worried about her career stability, I presume.

It’s easy to worry and I would worry too h the thing is we shouldn’t. We need more people to be rockstars pregnant, just married, engaged whatever to help break the stigma and help make things better for young women who want to work. Frankly in the current economy most need to work!

Good luck to you. Don’t worry too much. I had someone just start at my co and let people know a month later they were pregnant. Just let people know you’re going to keep working and help with any transition for time off with new baby.

This happened to me. Was very much upfront and they staffed me on internal projects before I went on leave.
I would receive emails about my utilization and had to explain over and over to people in leadership the issue and they very much understood.
Didn't receive a bonus, just the standard cost of living raise which I thought was fair.

Happened to me with my first child. I found out after they made me the offer and was upfront because I was hospitalized for a bit before joining. I refused to travel by air and tried to be local as much as possible. Spoke with leadership and they were very understanding. Did not get the full 5months maternity leave but the minimum 3 months helped a lot. You’ll be fine! Baby steps 😊

My first therapy appointment tomorrow! I’ve never dealt with depression before having my second kid and my PPD was/is rough!

Need advice. Am in the middle of parental leave right now and my spouse and I are on the brink of divorce. Have only this 1 kid. Spouse doesn’t work yet, but can with earning potential around $50k. I make around $450k. No way I’d keep this job if divorce happens. I’d eventually transition in house so I can take care of my kid when I have him, but that won’t be immediate. How will custody work in that case? I want joint, but how do I take care of him alone with this job in the meantime?

Better to take a small pay cut (10k) to work with people I know mesh well together at a smaller start up, or stay on at a larger company with higher pay but a team that has absolutely no camaraderie and struggles to work together on the daily? Been denied a team transfer twice in 2 years, and I feel trapped, but this isn't a great time to be transitioning to a less stable position. Thoughts on what I should do?

what do you talk about in your 1:1s?

I got lucky and now have leadership that seems to care about my career growth, but I'm 1. a little overwhelmed taking over a new role from someone who went on parental leave earlier than expected and 2. not used to thinking outside my day to day job, happy to keep my head down and just produce good work.

most of what I bring up in these meetings are logistical or prioritization concerns but I feel like my manager is expecting a lot more from me.

I personally feel that it's absolutely ludicrous the US government is not enforcing or at least asking people to wear masks in healthcare environments like at the pharmacy, doctor's offices, or the hospital.

I get that she already has it so she isn't worried, but what about the other people around??
