When did you let your team/boss know that you were pregnant?

Thoughts on why A&E and Mother both opened Berlin offices this year? Is it due to more business in the mainland or client budgets leaving the UK?

I am currently covering for someone on paternity leave. This means I've doubled the Sales Managers I'm supporting as well as the clients I'm supporting. I don't mind doing the work but I'd like to ask to be compensated for the increased workload. Has anyone done this? If so, how did you go about it? I'm relatively new to Tech so I'm not sure how to start the conversation.

Any suggestions on subscription box for maternity clothes?

Pregnant IBanking Director who will be a single mom needs advice on negotiating maternity leave - I have been with a boutique Ibank for 10 hrs and wish to ask for paid maternity leave and flexible WFH for another 3 months. Can you share any precedents form the industry? Our company policy is terrible (12 wk unpaid) and I wish to use my leverage to advocate for changing the policy for all future parents, not just for myself. Many thanks in advance.

Hello witches,
i had a question about employer sponsored health insurance plan at Deloite as to which family member can an individual get coverage for apart from father/mother.. can it apply to grandparents too? Also, how would you rate the claims process if you have tried it out with your provider.

Any moms in NJ and scheduled to give birth at the Hackensack University Medical Center? With COVID-19 cases being treated there, I’m wondering if child birth won’t get the attention it deserves

I posted here some months back about my ectopic pregnancies but today, I'm posting to tell you all to hang in there and God will do it for you. (Please don't insult me of you don't believe in God because I strongly do).
In a nut shell, we had baby #1 without trying. Started trying for #2 and over 2 years, I had 4 miscarriages and 2 ectopics. In July, my doc informed me that the only way forward was through IVF. I was tired and confused. I PRAYED! and continued trying. (The rest in the comments.)

Parents who have or have had a baby. How was the first year or two for you? Was it awesome, was it terrible, did it change your relationship with your partner? Did you regret it, did you want out? I've heard that having a baby can really change things between you and your partner and that a lot of marriages fall apart at that point. Just interested in stories and feedback.

Also curious if one partner kind of pressured the other into having a child/was driving force in wanting the baby.

I’m a mom to a 3 year old and I’ve been teaching for 6 years.... we’re talking about kid #2.... I definitely enjoy summers with my girl

Ladies, what are some good daycares in the Dallas area - my baby is now only 3 weeks but I’ll be returning to work in about 4 months and want to get started early. I live near downtown but moving to the suburbs soon (Plano/ Irving etc)
I’m looking for quality activities for my little one and good teachers as well as quality food. Any recommendations or websites I can use that rate daycares? Thank you!!

Any suggestions for wireless / cordless baby monitor? Thanks!

Does anyone not feel comfortable leaving their kid alone with either parents or in laws due to their carelessness? How do deal with them constantly asking for your kid to sleep over at their house?

Is it just me or was this the most perfect timing to have a kid (in know COVID was out of everyone’s control). Baby was born last March and have had zero FOMO and looking to enjoy life this spring

I get 3-5 months MAT leave and I’m debating if I take the full 5 or stick to 3. I’m WFH but also not sure how I’ll feel . This will be baby 2 and I have a 3yo at home. Need advice

14 days past ovulation, had 2000 IU HCG booster shots at days 3,5,7,9 tested yesterday (13 days post ovulation) and got a faint positive and then again this morning (14 days po- still faint) planning ton testing tomorrow... any way I could actually be pregnant and this isn’t just the booster? (I have PCOS -We’ve been trying for over a year, I’ve had surgery been on ovulation support drugs etc and ready want this to work but don’t want to get my hopes up too high).

I came back from a trip this past weekend to discover that tragedy has finally befallen my house: my mother in law has convinced my wife to go on a fad diet. By my understanding, we just consume bone broth now. Also, I think “bone broth” is just a fancy word for “chicken stock”. Please send prayers or pizza

How can you fake through Senior years?

Any EY fish willing to make a referral?

Thanks in advance!

That moment when your coworker says he's seriously thinking of driving for UBER on weekend nights for extra cash. Is he overreacting or are we on a sinking ship?

Does anyone sometimes just want to shake their clients??? It's not my fault you decided to have kids with an asshole, please don't scream at me when you can't kick them out of your life because they're mean to you.

Hi Sharks,

Can I try for same organisation after 6 months of accepting offer but did not join due to health constrain mentioned to HR in email

Will they consider?

I recently received an offer from a company for a new job. But they are asking that I use my current manager as a reference. I’m having trouble finding a way to approach this.

Dilemma: I am 1 of 4 workstream leads on a large digital transformation programme. My background is Enterprise Architecture, and I am leading a team that includes Enterprise, Solution, Integration and Data Archs.

If I wasn't so desperate for the resources, I'd roll off 2 new integration archs that recently joined.

They both openly challenge my decisions (which are made in consultation with the team) with vague arguments, speak to me as if they need to "dumb down for the girl", and (continues)

Leaving my first job. Is it still acceptable to have college stuff on my resume?

Got first bonus ever and bought an away luggage. So excited about it for some reason..that’s all! 😀😀😀

After coming up through Ogilvy and later running three different in-house ad agency production arms, I’ve spent the last seven years exclusively in production and am looking to return to the agency world. Any open HOP or EP slots at agencies in ideally NYC or PHL?

So, I just received a job in the glorious catering business. I filled out onboarding paperwork yesterday afternoon. Yesterday evening at around 8pm I received an email asking me to come in at 8am for orientation. -I haven’t responded yet. Seems like a red flag before the first day of work. 🤷🏼 should I be ready to jump when they say jump?

If an ad agency underwent a zombie apocalypse, which department would best survive?

- Strategists? Would they provide some brilliant insights (e.g., 99.69420% of us will be food soon) and help form a plan?

- CDs? Would they just send junior CWs and ADs into the wild as scouts and creative meatshields?

- Acct? Would they just make the zombie clients happy by telling them where the creative meateam is hiding?

- Recruiters? Would they just 👻 the zombies?
What would ECDs x GCDs do? Wtf y'all

Hi Fishes,
After one year of internship in Intel, what CTC can I expect if I try to switch to other companies (Qualcomm,Nvidia......etc.)

I am currently working in the final round of interviews for a job I think I’d enjoy for a $10k pay raise with far less stress than my current job. That said, it’s a step down from my current responsibilities and I’m nervous it’ll hold me back from my eventual goals. I’m burnt out right now and in a masters program, so less stress is very enticing. Should I take it if offered or hold out for a true promotion/upward move? Will it hurt me down the road to take this job?

Looking to buy a green submariner, where can I get a better price, EU or Asia?

Hi all! I’m a social media strategist at a multicultural ad agency and I was looking for some resources (books, articles, podcasts, etc) about marketing from a multicultural perspective.

Thank you in advance!

Who's dreading Monday tomorrow and why?

I want to take a minute out and thank the guy at McBee Associates for making our days better with these memes!
