For context, I joined a month ago. She’s 2 months in, and we actually found out on the day I joined this company.
Company is based in the Carolinas and focuses on wlb and friendly culture. Very nice people.
When should I inform them about the pregnancy and prep them for the news that I’ll take the 6 months paternity leave starting in November?
Tc like $375k incl paper money

If you think pregnancy is affecting your performance, sooner is better around 4th month.
A buddy of mine got PIP'ed at Amazon a little while back. He let the company know a about 6 months in, and they had absolutely no mercy on him.
Fast forward a couple of years he is earning a shit ton of money as a director elsewhere, but yeah... At least you don't work for Amazon
I’ll do the in writing part. Hadn’t thought about that
The grandkids. We have a decent support structure lol
