I did it early because I was so sick and away from my desk a lot.

But, if I wasn’t, I would have probably done it at 20 weeks, after all the safety scans are done.

Anytime after the first trimester

I just told my team. I’m 18 weeks.

Same 18 weeks. With my first I waited until after the 20 weeks ultrasound. My second was a busy season baby so I let them know immediately after the first trimester genetic testing came back.

When your doc tells you it’s safe to.

I told my partner when I was doing IVF, took time off for the whole process. So they knew from the start

Need advice & perspectives: I got a verbal review from my manager saying he couldn’t see me as senior cuz I didn’t follow the design doc format he mandates from all designers.

Also the product I’m on has been in MVP stage, things move extremely fast and design decisions changed constantly. He’s not on my team.
Am I crazy for thinking him a bad manager?

How should I go about this? (Especially given Rona?)

Over the past year, my counsel is constantly judged by a select few senior business folks (eg arguing over FTC compliance, IP risk counsel, and even simple things regarding NDAs that any attorney wouldn’t question. It’s very frustrating that my own team is the one I have to defend my logic to (and not opposing counsel). It feels like they want a rubber stamper, which is not me.I never faced this at my prior in-house roles (probably because they were much a larger). Any advice on how to handle?
