Was in a great position for senior manager promotion this year... & I’m pregnant! Would you recommend I bring this up as soon as possible or wait as long as possible? Coach/RP are not family oriented.

Congrats!! Wonderful news on all accounts.

Agree with GT1. You’re under no obligation to disclose and the downside risk of a weird reaction is much larger than any possible benefit.

Only reason to proactively share is if you are confident that you will show/be due before the decision is made and you want to control the timing and info in that case. But in that case it would depend a lot on your coach etc and what makes the most sense there

Thank you all - such an awesome supportive community! Unfortunately I’m due before the decision will be final... but with all the reactions here, I think it makes the most sense to hold off as long as possible, keep working as usual and hopefully by the time I’m unable to hide it, the decision should be at least further solidified! Again - you guys are all great - thanks!
