When are we required to tell HR and our managers that we’re pregnant? I would like to wait as long as possible.

I don’t think there’s a required time stamp when you need to tell them. In my opinion you should tell them when you feel comfortable sharing the news. It’s all personal choice. Typically, the first trimester is risky so at the minimum I’d wait till first ultrasound at week 12.
Myself, I have been struggling with infertility for a very long time and suffered through 4 miscarriages so when I got pregnant I waited until week 20 and only then filled out the mat leave paperwork.

I don’t think there generally a requirement but you do need to complete the STD paperwork within a certain timeframe and generally it’s nice to basically get it all lined up in advance. I usually tell my close working partners and head of office around four three or four months and then HR more like six or seven months to do that paperwork

Hi all, i am currently expecting, told in the office about the same. Initially i felt support from my team but lately i have been facing some issues with senior managers. Mandatory wfo when there is no such corporate policy (if you are on leave you are required to cover it later), work pressure, unnecessary feedback, irritable tone, "personal suggestion" to take early maternity.
This has started to build up mental and physical stress now.

I’m lateraling, and so requested a report from our conflicts department for matters I’ve worked on. Our conflicts department is in a different office. What are the chances word has traveled to my office that I asked for the report? Is it a telltale sign that someone is leaving? I have not given notice yet.

The first 2 interviews went extremely well that’s why they rushed & asked the ceo to interview me on a Sat. morning. Huge common point: The CEO and I are both French. The interview went kinda weird… it was less than 15min. Looked distracted/ not prepared. When I asked him questions he barely elaborated. Comments⬇️
