What do you get your boss when they announce they are pregnant and taking maternity leave? Something like a baby shower gift? Anything at all? Where is the line? We are not friends but we're definitely friendly.

I almost always organize a team gift and offer for people to voluntarily contribute. I try and find their registry and either get a gift from that or a gift card to where they’re registered.

I cannot believe I did not think of the team gift thing. Thanks all, this is so helpful. I was really really stressed. I guess I'll head up the effort haha.

Haha yeah, I just wait for somebody to take the initiative!

I like the idea of a team gift. That takes some of the awkwardness out of it. So many baby shower gifts are actually super personal if you think about it.

I definitely wouldn't get nothing. If you aren't close but still want to show support a small gift is best. Something from their registry that isn't over the top if you can find it, or a team gift of giftcards/cash so they can pick things out themselves.

Depends a bit on the size of the team, but definitely organize a team gift. If you want to do something yourself, one of things new parents need the most is money…

Obviously we work in an industry where people are paid well and aren’t going to be totally strapped for cash, but you end up buying a lot of different things as you navigate the first few months so it’s helpful to not have to stress about costs. Buy Buy Baby is a good option. Amazon is too but that might be weird for you. When my son was born my mom sent us $250 to Seamless and it was lifesaving.

How can you find their registry? Is that a public info?

Just Google their name and “registry”. They’re usually public by default

I have a direct report who is smart, passionate about her job and can be really innovative. However she carries this enormous weight of responsibility, for needing to do everything, do it right, make sure it's perfect, not trusting colleagues to help. It creates dread and panic and overwhelming workload and a terrible attitude for her and I am speaking with her this week to start to shift her mindset. Any tips in navigating how to let go of this heavy idea of "responsibility"?

I think leadership in my company is just gearing up to sell:
1. When I try to refactor, organize, or address tech debt in the code, I get heavy pushback with no real justification (they just say “keep it simple”) and no stated initiatives to fix said debt. Thanks, I guess I’m just an impetuous child.
2. Marketing wants “more logos” to attract a 2nd round of investment.
3. No long-term vision for our “product.”
4. Way more personnel,no innovation
