    The better question is why are you texting your boss to say this? Even if your work is in close relation to what your boss does and/or your his assistant or something, texting about maternity leave isn’t exactly the most appropriate.

      I’m close with my boss and I text her stuff I’m comfortable telling her but not HR.

      She also texted me when she found a job that I was super qualified for at another company that pays 50% more than I make now. If she’d done that over company email she could have gotten in trouble.

      Sometimes taking things off the record is good if you have a good relationship with your boss.
