Tips On
Telling Your Boss - Part III
You
know it’s time to tell your boss you are pregnant. Now, you are
wondering how to do it?
Tip #3: Tell Your Boss
Directly
Though procrastination affects the best of us, you need to tell your
boss you are pregnant before they learn the news through the
proverbial grapevine—or through your ever-expanding stomach!
You
may want to tell close friends and family first, and this is fine,
but don’t let your boss be the last to know. Certainly make sure
your boss hears the news from you and not your coworkers.
While no law dictates that you need to tell your boss first, it just
makes sense. You don’t want your employer to believe you are hiding
information, especially since this might make them wary of your
plans to return to work after your pregnancy.
Instead, remember Tips #1 and #2—timing matters and be
enthusiastic. Then go ahead and tell your boss. (Of course, stay
tuned for Tip #4—Put it in writing!)
