Personally, never

I find it hard to believe out of 200k professional women no one has experienced this. I know of at least 3 who have who found themselves suddenly RIF’d out conveniently either when returning from mat leave or disclosing intention of having a family. You have a right to be fearful about this, but nothing gets solved by silence.

After you give your two week notice, what message do you relay to your co-workers? For context, I would prefer not to mention my new firm to them and I don’t want to discuss my reasons for leaving. Is it appropriate to note that I am keeping it close to my chest until I officially lateral or would that come off as odd/unprofessional?
